Okay, so, Bullitt. Unfortunately this was the kind of movie where I missed about 50% of the plot (I am not good with crime plots, okay) and had to fill myself in on Wikipedia afterwards. But anyway, I was in it to see Steve McQueen acting a cop, obviously. Yeah, I see the Ray Kowalski similarities--that shoulder-holster, some of his clothes--and some of his body language, too. Like ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
belmanoir says in this post (which has some illustrative screencaps), he's got a similar aggressive-yet-shy body language. OTOH, he hasn't got Ray K's jittery, restless moving around. He keeps much more still, and also I feel like he's more secure in his authority? I found him attractive--he's got really lovely eyes--and I can see how Ray would, too (of course, Ray finding him attractive is fanon, not canon, since we canonically only know that he "had a thing for him"). But maybe I'm mostly finding him attractive because of the tie to Ray? I don't know.
I also watched North by Northwest. Wow, I did not expect there to be so much slapstick humor in that movie? Or was that only my mood? Also, I do not find Cary Grant attractive. Anyway, this was not a movie where I missed any of the plot; it felt like it was really clearly telegraphed. The plot did not go the way I expected, though! Based on Fraser and Victoria's comments in Victoria's Secret (Victoria: "I always wanted to be Eve Kendall." Fraser: "But she sends Cary Grant to be killed." Victoria: "She had no choice."), I thought ( spoilers )
