Rear Window
Watching movies is what I do best, but all this time I have never watched anything so thrilling, tense and amazingly significant as an Alfred Hitchcock movie. His greatest film..."Rear Window" is probably Alfred Hitchcock's most perfectly constructed film. It takes place during four days, from Wednesday to Saturday, and the events are filmed from the window of one apartment and mostly through the eyes of one person - the magazine photographer L.B. Jeffries (James Stewart), confined to a wheelchair with his leg in plaster.One of my goals is to describe to you what I understood and loved about this movie, because Sometimes you see or hear things that make a huge impact to where you think about it hours after it's over. This is the case with Rear Window. What is it that makes Rear Window such a great movie? Let me count the ways.First of all, is the obvious. Rear Window is by the greatest director who ever lived "Alfred Hitchcock". He was a master of suspense without using profanity, gore, nudity, or even graphic violence. He scared us with only a camera and some lights. The suspense in the film is based on the unquestionable logic of terror. The terror is not in the scene projected on the screen, but in the min
As for how the protagonists found out "whodunit". It also shows us that people with lots of free time in there hand would spy or take a peak on other peoples life's if they think it looks interesting. It shows that typically anyone in Jeff's place, would have reacted to exactly the same thing, and might have followed the same footsteps as Jeff's. How about "Miss Torso"? What is she really like? Will the "Newlyweds" ever open up the shades? Is it possible to keep it up for that long? Then, there's Jeffries. That looks like a tied song to what was going on. As for the knowledge of the door beeing unlocked increases the threat of the footsteps creeping up the stairs. We only think Stewart and Kelly are in the movie. Of course, they later become part of the outdoor movie, but the fact that three-quarters of the movie involve characters outside the main filming location is fascinating. When it comes to comparing this movie to the western bias, I do think that the story follows it. For she had proven to Jeff that she can change, and that she loves him, and would do anything for him. All Hitchcock's movies are worth the suspense. What will become of him and Lisa as a couple? Should he listen to Stella or follow his own stubbornness? As for my opinion about this particular question, I think that these two will live together happily ever after.
