***Disagree about Mozart. Mozart compared to Shostakovich or Mahler-- no way. Not even apples and oranges. French to Chinese food or something on that order.Well, that's the problem with simple one-line analogies... but I am sure you got the jist of my statement. No reason to push the analogy, it is not worth it.
***Woody is much more a lightweight than Mozart IMO. Woody's self absorption is noticeably more obvious in his work than is Mozart's for one main difference.Well, to me some parallel is still there. I see certain light elegance in Woody's work, the kind you see in the Louis XVI furniture, that is unique among the film makers (therefore the Mozart parallel). His self absorption CAN irritate for sure, but his best work is unforgettable. Among which I personally love the Crimes the most.
Like you, I don't have a great affinity for Hitchcock. I've seen most of his stuff, wouldn't care to see it again.
