Another major ideology that can be found in the movie is that there is lack of sense in the romantic delusion that is present in the movie (Kilbourn). The first ideology that is death has been characterized as frightening and attractive can be seen in the first scene as well. The scene that is done in Midge’s apartment shows that Scottie has an experience that traumatizes him but later it can be understood that the madness that was hidden behind it was the main motive (Pippin).

FILM MAKING1There are many ideologies that are present in Vertigo, directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Themovie revolves around death that acted as both frightening and attractive. The secondideology that can be found in the movie is that appearances that are impenetrable in nature.Another major ideology that can be found in the movie is that there is lack of sense in theromantic delusion that is present in the movie (Kilbourn). The first ideology that is death has been characterized as frightening and attractivecan be seen in the first scene as well. The movie begins where Scottie is seen hanging fromthe roof of a tall building, which showcases the moment of death. It can be seen that the fearis palpable in the eyes of the character. It can be seen that Scottie was terrified and the onlyway to avoid it was letting go of the event. The second ideology of the movie is that theappearances are impenetrable. It can be seen that the shot of a face of the women isexpressionless, as the camera pans from the lips of the woman towards her daunting eyes.The scene that is done in Midge’s apartment shows that Scottie has an experience thattraumatizes him but later it can be understood that the madness that was hidden behind it wasthe main motive (Pippin). The romantic delusion in the movie has been presented in a good sense, as it can beseen that Scottie has acrophobia and uses the technique of Achilles’ heel to fool himself. Thisresults in others fooling him in an easy manner as well. The romantic delusion that is presentin the movie also has an antithesis within the character of Midge who is firmly grounded onto the real world, which helped her in providing matured love to Scottie (Kilbourn). It is seenthat Scottie rejects the love of Midge due to the illusive nature that he finds in Madeleine.This leads to the tragic ending of the film, as the viewers are made to believe that thecharacters submit to the delusionary image of romance (Iannone).
