I think I have to pay attention to so many details at my job that when I'm outside of work I probably look past a lot of details and just enjoy the big picture.......but that's just me. As a result, I guess that's why I can continue to experience the same thing over and over and still get a lot of pleasure out of it, learning something new each time I do it and/or experience it.
North by Northwest is quite entertaining even with its rather limited special effects in relation to those of 2016-2018 and the like.

It is one of the best Alfred Hitchcock movies. And not for NOTHING.

I found some interesting details in Hitchcock's Vertigo and The Birds but these were because I lived in the San Francisco Bay area or within 60 miles or so from 1984-1986 and then 1991-1996 and visited there quite often from Minneapolis when in law school 1986-1989 and after while working in their law library up through mid-1991. Even brought Jennifer to meet the parents back in 1990 even though I still was quite infatuated with a woman now probably one of the best immigration lawyers on the West Coast. The other woman was in Miami at that time but later moved to SF and the last I looked is still there. I do hope she watches a lot of 2016-2018 movies. Both of these women lawyers I mean as I used to talk with these ladies about stuff quite a bit. They were both fellow law students in the Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners Clinic. I am also communicating more with the U of MN Law School in various ways. There were some quite honest and honorable people there when I was a student and then assistant librarian or whatever my actual title was.
