We discussed our topics and analyzed a small clip from Alfred Hitchcock's "The Wide Window". The opening sequence of the movie depicts people in their homes, unaware that they are being watched by their neighbor. This brings up the idea of private vs. public identity. People act differently in public for fear of being judged but when they are alone, they often act more "normal", so to speak (normal for them). This is just one facet of identity. Some other sides are ethnic and racial identity, religion, sexuality, and family ties.
