Dwight Longenecker comments on Hitchcock\u2019s The Rope<\/i><\/a>. \u00a0I had never heard of it. \u00a0It was one a month or so ago and we caught the beginning of it. \u00a0My oldest then ordered it so we could watch the whole thing. My boys are Hitchcock fans all the way. \u00a0My oldest, who is kicking around the idea of journalism, likes to think his writing style is Hitchcock inspired. \u00a0The Rope was an interesting one set film about two men who decide to murder, more or less for the heck of it. \u00a0Rules don\u2019t apply. \u00a0It isn\u2019t hard to catch the parallels to Crime and Punishment<\/i>. \u00a0Here is Fr. Longenecker unpacking it better than me. \u00a0Watch the film first, then read Fr. Longenecker\u2019s insightful take. \u00a0But only in that order.<\/p>\nFWIW, film buffs will recognize John Dall as Brandon Shaw. \u00a0Dall also is well known as the hapless Marcus Glabrus in Kubrick\u2019s Spartacus<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
