:32:04
He didn't trust people.
:32:07
He seemed to hate them.
:32:09
He hated the whole world.
:32:12
You know...
:32:14
he said that people like us had no idea
what the world was really like.

:32:19
(Wright)
It's an end of innocence for her,

:32:21
because she now
cannot only imagine evil,

:32:25
which, she would never have
imagined anything that evil before,

:32:29
but she knows it exists
:32:31
and she knew it existed in the one
person her mother loved the most.

:32:34
She has to grow up and realise that
people can be deeply loved by someone,

:32:40
and yet have something inside them
that is so destructive,

:32:44
that they can poison
and literally kill people.

:32:51
(O'Connell) This was
my father's favourite movie,

:32:53
and it was because he loved
bringing the menace into a small town,

:32:58
into a family that had never
known any bad things happen to them.

:33:03
They adored this uncle.
They just adored him.

:33:08
Yet they had no idea what he is like.
:33:11
The whole suspense of the movie is,
When are they going to find out?"

:33:15
I think it's one of the most pertect
of the Hitchcock pictures.

:33:18
It doesn't depend on star power.
It doesn't depend on glamour.

:33:23
Hitch was right.
:33:25
It's a kind of extraordinary
and ambiguous character study

:33:29
that is very troubling,
:33:31
because you get into these characters,
:33:34
including the killer.
:33:36
(Boyle) I knew then that
we were embarked on a film

:33:39
that had real content
:33:41
and maybe more importance
than some of his others,

:33:44
which were kind of fairy tales,
you know.

:33:47
I believe that's one of the reasons
why Hitchcock himself

:33:50
considered it probably his best.
:33:53
(Cronyn)
He told a story very, very well,

:33:56
and he told it
almost always in visual images.
