24、s career, Alfred Hitchcock was widely considered to be Britains best film director. His silent films were greeted with great enthusiasm by critics, and, at a time of expansion and increasing excitement for the British film industry, they were evidence that British films had reached an international

25、standard. In 1929, Hitchcock was hailed by British critics for a film which used sound and dialogue with more imagination than any Hollywood or European film of the time. And in the mid-1930s, Hitchcocks films gave energy to the film industry with their fast pace and British sense of humor.After the

26、 outbreak of the Second World War the British press said he had gone Hollywood. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, British critics favored realism over all else, and they looked down upon the Hollywood style that characterized much of Hitchcocks work during this time.In the 1960s and 1970s, when critic

27、s celebrated Hitchcocks films, it was mainly the Hollywood Hitchcock that they admired, and these (largely American and French) critics had little interest in his British films. Of course Hitchcocks public character in his later years was still very closely associated with his English background, as

28、 his appearances on the Alfred Hitchcock Presents television programs demonstrated. But his dark suits, manners, and humor seemed to be the style of a person overseas.It can be surprising, then, to discover the respect that Hitchcock enjoyed in his native country during his first dozen years as a di

29、rector. When one of his films was first shown in 1926, it was declared to be a great piece of art and its director was proclaimed to be a young genius. Hitchcock was already twenty-seven years old at the time, but his rise did seem to have been remarkable.Hitchcocks start in filmsHe was born on the

30、eastern edge of London, in Leytonstone, Essex, on 13th, August, 1899, and his family lived above a shop on Leytonstone High Road and later in the East End neighborhood of Poplar and Stepney. He left school at the age of fourteen, and worked as a clerk at the Henley Telegraph (电报)Company and took eve

31、ning lessons in drawing at the University of London. In1919, this skill enabled him to get a job as a title card designer with the American production company Famous Players-Lasky when it began making films in a converted power station in Islington.The Americans did not stay long in Islington, but H

32、itchcocks rise quickened when the studio was taken over by Michael Balcons Gainsborough Pictures in 1924. Balcon allowed Hitchcock to work at different jobs for Gainsborough: as a set designer, writer, editor and as the assistant director to Graham Cutts, who was then Gainsboroughs top director.The

33、young directorIn 1925, Hitchcock was given his own assignments, as he directed two films that were filmed in Munichs Emelka Studios as part of a deal between Gainsborough and the German producer Erich Pommer. Neither film attracted much attention, and it was not until his third film, The 厶。dger (房客)

34、，that both the critics and the public took notice of Hitchcock.Indeed, The Lodger seemed able to please just about everyone. It had techniques informed by the international art cinema of the 1920s, a narrative form borrowed from Hollywood, and an English subject matter. It was a remarkable combinati

35、on and a great example of late silent cinema. The Lodger also introduced several of Hitchcocks most enduring story elements: a hero whose virtue is in doubt, a love filled with suspicion, humor, and an interest in beautiful women. These elements would endure for many years.The Hitchcock touchDuring

36、these early years Hitchcock was known primarily for the visual creativity of his films. The German director F.W. Murnau was a strong influence in this regard. While filming in Germany in 1924, Hitchcock visited Murnau. It was a key moment in his development as a filmmaker. Murnaus interest in an unc

37、hained camera and in a pure cinema (telling the story in visual terms alone) would be the lifelong interest of Hitchcocks too. He was also a member of the London Film Society, and its screening of French, German and Soviet art films, as well as early and pioneering American films, provided a unique

38、forum for the consideration of film form and technique, and one that influenced Hitchcock and many other British filmmakers of the time.One can further point to Hitchcocks interest in drawing as a factor that enriched and enhanced the visual dynamic （强度）of his films. In his silent films, this was so

39、 striking that critics regularly discussed the Hitchcock touch, referring to the visually dramatic sequences that distinguished his work. Such moments might convey an amusing, dark or romantic story plot （故事情节），or they might explain the meaning of the story, but they always demonstrated the director

40、s ability to tell the story without relying on dialogues or explanations.Britains finestIn 1927 Hitchcock left Gainsborough for the larger British International Pictures （BIP）, and his new contract made him the highest paid director in Britain. Being assigned to direct BIPs first talking film was an

41、other sign of his status, and the film proved that such regard was fully deserved. At the time, many people interested in cinema thought that the use of speech would reduce cinema to being only pictures of people talking, but Hitchcocks inventive use of sound demonstrated that the new technology act

42、ually opened a new world of possibilities.Many have said that Hitchcock found his true calling with the 1930s thrillers, while for others this concentration on one type of film represented a limitation of Hitchcocks talents and interests. Either way, their popularity ensured that he was invited to H

43、ollywood, and in 1939 he took up a contract with the producer David O. Selznick.This opportunity must have looked great. In the late 1930s, the British film industry had entered a financial crisis, and its difficulties would only become larger with the start of war. Yet it is evident that Hitchcock

44、was eager to hold onto ties with Britain. He returned in wartime to make two short films for the Ministry of Information.In the immediate post-war period, he formed a production company that was designed to enable him to make films in Britain, and to free him from the interference of Hollywood produ

45、cers such as Selznick. Of the companys two films only one was filmed in Britain, and although both are remembered for their bold experimentation with long takes and deep focus, neither was a popular success. His company soon folded, and Hitchcock subsequently worked with a range of Hollywood studios

46、.He made only two further films in Britain. The first was a thriller set in the West End theatre world that had excited him in his youth, but the films sense of time and place was weakened by its international cast and its curiously limited use of location shooting. The second, shown in 1972, seemed to hit much closer to home and could be seen to represent a remake of The Lodger. The story was
