Document Summary
The movie strangers on a train was directed by alfred hitchcock in 1951. He uses many different types of camera angles, shades and shapes to express himself through the art of film. These are seen throughout the film to help develop our idea of the characters and are used to change and develop a more dramatic scene. The theme of guilt and innocence also comes into the light and how they play off of each other as the main male characters represent each other s alter ego. Ultimately wanting the same things in life, for the people who cause them the most stress to be gone and done with. Strangers on a train does not follow the classical paradigm set out by hollywood although using the cause and effect relationship where an action made by one character forces the others to react.
