When you're watching a Hitchcock movie, you, for most of the movie, are playing the guessing game. What's the endgame? What's the plot? How are these people involved? It's the best way to tell the story, and as a viewer, that's what you want to experience.

Watching a good actor is the best way to learn.

How you looked was not important. It was what you did and how you did it. Decide to do it and then do it the best way you can.
