The Big Picture

  • Despite its banal aesthetic and mixed reviews, Alfred Hitchcock's film Rope may be one of his best offerings.
  • The film is based on a true story, reminiscent of the infamous Leopold and Loeb case, where intellectuals commit a "perfect murder" to prove their worth.
  • The tension in Rope reaches its peak in the intense final scene, where suspicion and guilt collide, ultimately revealing the weight and impact of the crime committed.
