Hitchcock was one of the greatest auteurs.
Indeed, the
term was coined for him, even if William Goldman https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/01/adventures-in-screen-trade-by-william.html explains it is a mistake to
attribute the whole motion picture to one man, even if he has a massive talent,
and most often a giant ego
Notorious https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/08/notorious-written-by-ben-hecht-directed.html is another movie directed by Alfred
Hitchcock which ranks with the best, and now I realize that I have seen Vertigo
on the British Film Institute new release, and it is near the top, next to
Persona by Ingmar Bergman

At
least, I think. It is easy to check it
Cary Grant has
the leading role of Johnnie Aysgarth, while Joan Fontaine has won the Oscar for
Best Actress in a Leading Role for her performance as Lina McLaidlaw – I remember
I made a bet connected with Cary Grant, one of the fabulous thespians
I was
challenged at the club downtown by this woman, we used to be friends – I would
say – met there often, and she kept telling me I should get a divorce, because
things were not great, on the contrary, and I was a fool, in her view
-
Maybe
I am
Nevertheless,
somehow, we were talking about Cary Grant, and she said he was gay, and I
contradicted her, to which she insisted that ‘she is ready to bet on it, and if
she loses, I get to have sex with her’, which was more than outré
-
Alas,
I could not prove that I was right
Johnnie
Aysgarth seems to be a gigolo, or better said a fortune hunter, and now that I
write this, maybe he was, like above, it was not proved to me, there is a plot,
and if he was suspected of something and we see he did not do that…

Well,
it does not mean that he will keep clean
Then there
is Blink https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/01/blink-power-of-thinking-without.html the classic by Malcolm Gladwell, and
the Thin Slicing Theory and the Harding Effect, with the study of the CEOs of
the Top 500 companies
I say that
Johnnie was no good, that is my (probably wrong) assessment, although maybe the
whole point of this is to say do not be suspicious, very often, a scoundrel is
not the way he seems, only I just do not have the time to waste with this type
of human

Now for my
standard closing of the note with a question, and invitation – I am on
Goodreads as Realini Ionescu, at least for the moment, if I keep on expressing
my views on Orange Woland aka TACO, it may be a short-lived presence
Also, maybe
you have a good idea on how we could make more than a million dollars with this
https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/09/do-you-have-any-feedback.html – as it is, this is a unique
technique, which we could promote, sell, open the Oscars show with or something
and then make lots of money together, if you have the how, I have the product,
I just do not know how to get the benefits from it, other than the exercise per
se
There is also the small matter of working for
AT&T – this huge company asked me to be its Representative for Romania and
Bulgaria, on the Calling Card side, which meant sailing into the Black Sea wo
meet the US Navy ships, travelling to Sofia, a lot of activity, using my
mother’s two bedrooms flat as office and warehouse, all for the grand total of
$250, raised after a lot of persuasion to the staggering $400…with retirement
ahead, there are no benefits, nothing…it is a longer story, but if you can help
get the mastodont to pay some dues, or have an idea how it can happen, let me
know
As for my
role in the Revolution that killed Ceausescu, a smaller Mao, there it is http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/03/realini-in-newsweek-participant-in.html
Some
favorite quotes from To The Hermitage and other works
‘Fiction is
infinitely preferable to real life...As long as you avoid the books of Kafka or
Beckett, the everlasting plot of fiction has fewer futile experiences than the
careless plot of reality...Fiction's people are fuller, deeper, cleverer, more
moving than those in real life…Its actions are more intricate, illuminating,
noble, profound…There are many more dramas, climaxes, romantic fulfillment,
twists, turns, gratified resolutions…Unlike reality, all of this you can
experience without leaving the house or even getting out of bed…What's more,
books are a form of intelligent human greatness, as stories are a higher order
of sense…As random life is to destiny, so stories are to great authors, who
provided us with some of the highest pleasures and the most wonderful
mystifications we can find…Few stories are greater than Anna Karenina, that
wise epic by an often foolish author…’
