It is impossible to watch the most interesting Alfred Hitchcock movie

The stunning legs of Alfred Hitchcock extends as a film maker for more than six decadesStarting with the movie “The Lodger”, a silent movie in 1927, which is believed to be the first decisive success of the director. The comprehensive topics in “The Lodger” expect Hitchcock sensors, such as his strong interest in increasing the complex soul, cognitive preoccupation with death, guilt and the periodic nature of shock. If we want to return further, there is the “Pleasure Garden” feature for the first time The iconic photos that will determine its roles below the line.

However, there is a less famous movie between “The Pleasure Garden” and “The Lodger”-a film that was considered the lost media except for the presence of six shots alive. This silent movie in 1926, “The Mountain Eagle”, is a romantic drama that tends to German expressive, while taking a more exciting way to create the story. In “The Guardian”, Hitchcock described this film as “terrible”, and he claims that he was satisfied with his missing situation after losing/destroying every alive print during his life. This feeling is truly hardly measured as the film cannot be evaluated on the basis of its own advantages, but it is an interesting perspective of A cinematic director is known to know fear and not apologize for his craft.

This is a good opportunity to overcome the history of “The Mountain Eagle”, which the British Film Institute (BFI) believes is the only missing Hitkek (which we know). Technically, we have last The title “Lost” Hitchcock (No. 1922 “No. 13”), but its incomplete position usually classifies it as missing instead of losing it, although it is largely searched. If we are comprehensive here, his short movie of 1930 can be considered, “The Flastic Affair” (which he presented to attend the Palladium Awards in London), lost until time.

Silent Hitchcock films are very important to better understand their development as storytellers, especially as a person who can weave rich images in terms of symbolism and transmission of theme depth through it. Eric Ok, CEO of Knowledge, spoke at BFI, diverse About the closest echoes you will become more prominent throughout the Hitchcock career:

“There are things in these films (the previous, silent) you can see echoes in his subsequent work, as it becomes a well -known film director. You also see that it begins to try the patterns of bullets and storytelling, with some mysterious elements, murder and Melodrama.”

The ambiguity surrounding “The Mountain Eagle” has contributed to the fact that it is strongly required. Any current perceptions of the silent film depend on A group of production clips That (fortunately) managed to survive. It seems that the film has been placed in Kentucky, where a woman dies after a difficult birth, and her husband (Bernard Getzk) tends to newborn survivors, Edward (John F. Hamilton). Once Edward reaches adolescence and begins to explore his sexual life, he becomes intertwined in an inappropriate relationship with his teacher, Beatrice (Nita Nalde). One may think that this would paint his father’s anger, because every father wants to protect their son, but Hitchcock pumps psychological jealousy in this drama and rid it in a story of anger and revenge.

The information about the end of the movie is still contradictory as no one can verify its true nature, but BFI still hopes that “The Mountain Eagle” can survive Somewhere, somehow. Do you collect dust in a forgotten group of a person from silent films in the twenties of the twentieth century? Perhaps not, but experts to preserve films and filmmaking lovers actively hope that it has been indexed somewhere under a different name and will inevitably appear soon.
