Strangers on a Train (1951) First Time Watching! Full Movie Reaction!!

Comments

Hitchcock was known for mixing comedy with serious moments. The very fact that he staged the ending on the merry go round and had it end with such a smash up was his idea of an ironic comment. You would not expect that on something usually associated with fun and children. I am so glad to see you enjoyed this older film.

I've always believed that the very first scene of the very first episode of Killing Eve (Villanelle spilling the little girl's ice cream cone) was inspired by Bruno's popping of the little boy's balloon at the carnival.

Great reaction! I've been on a journey to watch all of Hitchcock's filmography, and I completed it tonight with the both of you; I've purposely been saving Strangers on a Train for last to end on a high note, and just got lucky that your reaction lined up with my schedule! One of the things that stands out about Hitchcock, when looking at the totality of his work, is how often he hit the top mark. In a career spanning fifty years he directed over fifty movies, at least fifteen of which range from perfect to great--not even including the ones which are only "good" lol. I'm sure they're already on your recommendation list, but I hope the next ones you check out include Rebecca (1940), my personal favorite of them all and the only Hitchcock film to ever win Best Picture, Rope (1948) which is his other movie starring Farley Granger, and Notorious (1946) with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. TBR is right, all of those moments were intentional jokes. As a previous commenter mentioned, Hitchcock had a very particular type of silly humor that he inserted into most of movies and the more you watch the more you'll pick up the brand. Think of moments in Psycho when his daughter mentions taking tranquilizers on her wedding day, or when Norman Bates says he still changes the unused sheets reguarly so they don't give off a "creepy smell." That actually goes for a lot of Classic Hollywood movies, which include lines and performance choices and scenes which today people are quick to dismiss as strange or bizarre or "unrealistic" without considering that they're intentionally silly to make people laugh. We just have a hard time imagining that people 80 years ago were telling the same jokes we were! Absolute best part was when same turns and says, "Okay, no merry-go-rounds..."
