A Biographical & Psychological Perspective on Alfred Hitchcock’s Marnie

  A Biographical & Psychological Perspective on Alfred Hitchcock’s Marnie *Respond to the topic below in a well organized paper (of at least 5 paragraphs) with a clear intro, body, and conclusion: -Make sure that the specific point that you are making is highlighted in a thesis (the last sentence of the intro). -Make sure that the point in each body paragraph is clearly stated in a topic sentence. -Whether paraphrasing, summarizing, or quoting, properly cite the secondary sources within the text by clarifying either via a speech tag or use of a parenthetical reference the author, the source′s title (only mention a given source’s title for the first reference; for each subsequent reference, just cite the author) , and the page # (remember to use proper quotation marks for direct quotes). The film does not need to have an in-text citation. -Make sure the trains of thought in each body paragraph emphasize analyzing a point being made about a particular element of the film: a given line of dialogue/scene, symbol, theme, etc. -In Alfred Hitchcock’s Marnie, the relationship between Mark and Marnie can be interpreted on a number of different levels: • he cares about her and wants to prove to her that he is different from other men • his love, attraction, or infatuation (take your pick) for her stems from the fact that she refuses to completely lend herself over to him • he is a sexual predator who is obsessed with controlling her because she is uncontrollable. In The James Bond Man, Andrew Rissik claims that the Mark Rutland character is a reflection of James Bond as he views Marnie not with tenderness but rather as an object to add to his collection. In contrast, in Hitchcock Films, Robin Wood views Mark as a confident yet inherently complex individual who does genuinely “love and want her” (146). Another dimension of examining the film that further complicates Rissik and Wood’s interpretations emerges when taking a Biographical Perspective. In Sean Connery: From 007 to Hollywood Icon, Andrew Yule details the troubled production behind the film, in some part stemming from the director’s relationship with actress Tippi Hedren, who played the title role. Therefore, how can Marnie (primarily the relationship between Mark and Marnie) be seen as a reflection of the Hitchcock-Hedren relationship (either based on what it was, what Hitchcock perceived it to be, or what he wished it to be)? ***I believe the film can be found on YouTube: Alfred Hitchcock’s Marnie ***Please make sure the paper are 100% original or at lease 95%. *
