Right after finishing 'North By Northwest' , Hitchcock was bored with doing the same old routine and wanted to get back to making something new and exciting.
He also believed thats exactly what movie goers wanted as well.
When he got word of this new horrific book he soon became obsessed with the idea of making it into a movie.
Everyone , I mean everyone was against the idea. Having only bad things to say about it.
Paramount turned Hitchcocks' idea flat on its ass.
So the master of suspence decided the only way he could get this genius of a film made was to finance it himself , waving his directors cut but taking only 40 percent of the profits.
This idea sat with Paramount.
When the film was nearly finished , Hitchcocks wife recut it to be what it is today.
The masterpiece that everyone adored.

"Cat , I wish you would stop knocking on the door."
This is a horribly sad tale. A true tale and it happens a lot more often than most people may think.
Nice kids , with great big hearts , that love and care about other people as well as the people in their lives , are bullied because they are different from other kids in some way , shape or form.
This is just unacceptable in a world where there is so much hate.
People should start by teaching their children to have respect and consideration for one another and setting those kinds of examples.
This kind of shit just breaks my heart and it makes me very angry when i see very little being done to make sure that these kids can feel safe at school and on their ways to and from school. There is nothing okay with bullying in any form. No matter what people that say "kids will be kids" think. There is a little thing called 'ignorance' you know...
When kids are bullied at school , sometimes they go to their teachers and their school principles.
The schools believe that this sort of thing happens all the time , that it is out of their hands , that the kids bring the bullying on themselves and that there is nothing the school can do to help.
Also , when kids go to their teachers and principles and tell them what is happening to them , the peers so called reprimand the other kid for their bad behavior , but after the fact , the kid still bullies somehow , the said bullied child begins to lose hope that nothing is being done , that no one cares about them and that it is okay for them to be treated so badly.
I believe that is a crock of shit!
I strongly believe that if the schools had clear rules and guidelines where bullying is concerned , along with the other school rules , and that if there was a punishment that all the students knew about , understood and took seriously , there would be a huge turn around in their behaviors. Also making it illegal in some form with legally punishable results to follow.
But because everyone believes that its just 'kids being kids' and theres nothing anyone can do about , the bullying does and will continue.
Released March 30 , 2012 in the US.
