This could also be because I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve decided to do my paper on <em>Vertigo<\/em> and needed to start focusing and making connections.

Well, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll tell you. All day today I kept my mind chewing on <em>Vertigo<\/em>, and not its plot. I was trying so hard to focus on everything except for the plot that I think I missed everything about the film entirely. That is, until I read a review of the film by <a href=\"http:\/\/rogerebert.suntimes.com\/apps\/pbcs.dll\/article?AID=\/19961013\/REVIEWS08\/401010371\/1023\">Mr. Roger Ebert<\/a>. He made it click for me. After reading this review, I began to focus on <em>Vertigo<\/em> as a part of the larger unit we are studying, and not just as an individual film. All of this led me to one, solid, conclusion: Eben and Scotty are the same person. Both are trying to create a woman who, arguably, does not exist. Hitchcock himself is doing that in the film (as Craig says in his <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.elsweb.org\/craiggrazianohmygod\/2007\/04\/18\/im-a-curmudgeon\/\">post<\/a>, all his leading ladies fit certain parameters). Boom. That blew my mind. That is now also the topic of my paper.
