Discussion after the film ended
Once again – Images and scenes repeating themselves
In 1958 critics slammed Alfred Hitchcock movie – for illogical sequences, convoluted method to kill one’s wife
- First – Not a movie about trying kill one’s wife Hitch did that twice
About projection, obsession, suggestions of weak masculinity

Other themes

A Slice of a tree – Noting the spiral and how it relates Time and Life
Scottie and Gavin Meeting
- Gavin is place bfore numerous paintings and frames – as they each tell a story, lies
- Scottie leaning on/ next to a model – which to note, is design to exact specifications, painted to look only one way, this is a subtle suggestion to his control of how he wants it repeatedly framed
