Abstract
Nothing in Mister Hitchcock's childhood foretold him to pursue his great career in movie making.
The little Hitchcock was quiet, shy and reserved. He spent a part of his scholarship in a Jesuit college which gave him a critical opinion of integrity of people working for churches. He also had had issues with authority symbolizing the law: when he was only five years old, his father sent him to the police and put him in a guard cell. We can suppose that his relationship with his mother was full of tension, part of the movie illustrates the mother's behavior in a destructive way of helping child growth instead of a loving and nurturing the child.
After his father's death in 1914, he started working for an advertising company as a creative member and learnt from this experience to develop his sensitivity for image. Even when he moved to America, he was still concerned about the historical events in Europe: on the Second World War context, he was involved in the aim of convincing the American government to take part in the fight. In his movie "Foreign Correspondent", Hitchcock highlighted the Nazi involvement, and demonstrated the need to stop their progression.
He had reached a strongly defined movie making style, which made his contribution to any movie easily noticeable.
