But the .38 Special has about 15,000 PSI coming out that slim gap... so that would be quite the ouch, in fact he'd lost what was near the cylinder.

A marvelous film that is tight, intimate, and feels every bit like a stage play at a theatre. Truly, a master class in confident editing and film-making. James Stewart, Farley Granger, and John Dall are all at their peak talents in this picture.

For me, if someone is to be labeled as the 'villain' here, it is Rupert, to the greatest extent. The way he's reacting here as St. Rupert, and distancing himself from them, is as if to repel the guilt that'd follow hence. In today's context, he's basically a dank memer, and Brandon and Phillip are two of his subscribes who take him too seriously. I get it that he's actually good at heart, but the 'morbid' things he used to preach but didn't mean should have come with a little disclaimer from him in the beginning. This should be a lesson for all of us, because you never know who's looking up to you.

The thing is that he is their former school master, and someone that they thusly looked up to; Brandon especially took his words to heart. But the things Rupert taught he did so in an academic sense, enjoying the theoretical aspects of it, which whether or not controversial had other backing solely in academia by others who studied such concepts of inferiority and superiority. Rupert put it best when he says "By what right did you dare decide that that boy in there was inferior, and therefore could be killed". He never believed that he himself was one of the superiors he talked about, never believed the likes of Brandon and Phillip was one of the superior individuals, perhaps never believed any one actually truly could be one of these so-called superiors who could do such a thing as commit murder. Essentially Brandon in his psychotic belief in the "art" of things like murder was latching on to Rupert's words as an excuse to make the crime acceptable, to justify his behavior and bent psyche. So yes, Rupert's words were twisted in this act, seeing as they were made more than words which were only meant to be philosophical meaning into words with real world application. Hence Rupert chooses to abandon his own teachings at the end of the film.

It's essentially like a lecturer arguing to some students from a philosophical standpoint that overpopulation could be a problem in society and that perhaps something should be done about it by society or government.

At the Private school my parents sent me, I was bullied by a sadistic psychopath exactly like those in the film, who kept telling me he would kill me (since I was an inferior unworthy of living) and get away with it since I was so much unimportant that there would be no Police investigation and all teachers thought of him to be a model student and an immaculate angel (he was the greatest hypocrite I ever encountered in my life). I was absolutely terrified because i didn't know what to do: break his face and being expulsed and sent to the military college by my parents , kill him first and be arrested for sure...since I had a motive. During the previous summer I had seen "The Rope" so you imagine how stressed i was. At first I just wrote everything down in a personal diary in the hope that someone would read it and there would be a police investigation if I die. One day we had a fight (he was again trying to steel me something, but i fought back), he became hysterical (he even cried) and swore he'd kill me. And he repeated his threat the morning after. I thought my hour had come and I was carrying a knife, terrified that he could ambush and kill me, that i might kill or harm him while thinking I'm saving my life. Finally, one day i thought i had no choice to go break his face...even though I could end up in the army. But then, came a surprise: one morning he told me he won't bully me anymore...(he didn't talk about the killing ). I was sure it was a trick, therefore I didn't lower my guard (and kept my knife on me). And days pass, then weeks, and finally High School ended up and I saw him only in a video rental store after , acting as if we were the best of friends! You can be sure i didn't tell him anything about where I work, live or anything else! Never knew why he changed his mind but I think I had a "guardian angel" who went to the acting director (who had a less pro-bullies bias than those who preceded or succeeded him) and told him everything. If this "guardian angel" is the one I think, he had high grades and was well liked by the director who would listen to him (not to me since I was the "expandable" type of students in directors eyes). The director probably talked to the Psychopath who then knew the director didn't think he was an immaculate angel anymore...and might suspect him if I get killed. I didn't succeed finding my "guardian angel" to thank him since he's not on Facebook.

It was those two murderer's hypocrisy that thet were superior and they were obligated to remove an inferior man from the face of the earth just because....superiority. Instead Hitchcock actually shows both of them were hypocritical and only killed the man because of jealousy and anger because they didn't like what the man did to them inadvertently. Those feelings rose in them, quietly seeping through the cracks to establish the thought of murder and when they did it, they thought of superiority and inferiority as the reason for doing so.
