Whether you like Marnie or not, there's a lot of pleasure in viewing classic old films -- don't count them out. <br /><br />Best, Wm.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053290865549099074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212867859094085036.post-41386257236310892092011-11-22T08:39:48.372-05:002011-11-22T08:39:48.372-05:00I didn't feel comfortable watching older movie...I didn't feel comfortable watching older movies but my friend is recommending me to watch out this one. Before watching it I wanted to know about this movie. Your review gave me an idea about this movie which is very pleasing.

I also confess I'm not that bothered by dubious psychology if the story works in spite of it. <br /><br />As for the rape/sex scene, I agree that we're not meant to see it that way. One could argue that Marnie never actually says no or asks Mark to stop, but as she appears to be virtually catatonic at the time it's still kind of creepy. It would be interesting to see how people would reasct to a similar situation today. Mark undoubtedly was hoping that at some point Marnie would react to his ministrations -- no such luck, poor guy!<br /><br />Thanks for your comments!Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053290865549099074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212867859094085036.post-10329755116597018812009-05-28T17:12:48.214-04:002009-05-28T17:12:48.214-04:00Funny, I commented on this movie on another site a...Funny, I commented on this movie on another site a week or two back and someone mentioned the "rape" scene. I'm not sure we're meant to view it that way. The movie was made almost 50 years ago, and I doubt Hitchcock had that thought in mind when he shot it.<br /><br />Agree with you on Diane Baker, she's very good here and sexy as hell too. As for the dime store psychology, I have to admit to being a sucker for all that - probably a result of watching too many Freudian inluenced 40s thrillers.Colinhttp://filmjournal.net/livius/noreply@blogger.com
