Movie:
Vertigo is packed with foreshadowing, symbolism & dual meanings which makes it an artistically interesting film.  However the plot is not strong enough to hold its own against all of these elements.  In fact the story reaches it's height well before the end of the movie but Hitchcock's heavy artistic point of view endures throughout.  Below are themes to watch out for to enhance your viewing experience:

• The usage of green in almost every scene from furniture, clothes to lighting.  The color itself represents birth & death.
• Tunnels & corridors symbolize the passage to the other side.
• The nosegay tells us that Judy will never be as good as Madeline.
