2021-10-13 18:31
Photojournalist Jeffery broke a leg in an accident, and now he has to spend a boring day in a wheelchair as he travels a lot. In the midsummer of New York, the neighbors around him open their windows day and night. Jeffery, who is free, always likes to observe the neighbors around him through the windows. A glamorous dancer is wearing a bra and shorts and doing housework with beautiful dance steps every day; a composer who lives alone often sits at the piano and writes, and is no exception when doing housework; a childless couple is very hot Lying on the balcony on the third floor to cool off, put the puppy down to play every day; the wife of Mr. Su, a salesman on the second floor, was bedridden for a long time, and two people's corners could be seen from time to time; the single woman on the first floor seemed to be unable to find a partner, Jie Jie Fury called it "Lonely Heart"; after a newlyweds moved into the apartment, they were busy and intimate, then put down the curtains, and then rarely showed up. Jeffery passed the boring time while watching.
Jeffery is actually not lonely. In addition to the nurse Stella who takes care of his sick life patiently every day, there is also a smart and beautiful girlfriend Lisa who loves him fanatically. Stella always complained that he didn't marry this almost perfect girl as soon as possible, and Lisa continued to launch gentle offensives, but Jeffrey, who considered herself loose and free, was a little worried about whether Lisa could get along with herself.
The salesman and his wife at the opposite window had another dispute. That night, Jeffery found that Mr. Sue walked out of the house with a big suitcase in the rain three times. The next day, Jeffery found that Mr. Su was wrapping the knife and saw blade. Mrs. Su also disappeared from her bed where she had been ill for a long time. The puppy kept digging in the flower bed downstairs, and everything disturbed Jeffrey. Lisa came, and noticed that Mr. Su was preparing a large box and took out the jewelry and ring from his wife's handbag. From this, the two people came to the conclusion that Mr. Su had killed and divided the body.
Jeffery asked an old friend who was a police officer to investigate the matter, but it turned out that Mrs. Su went to recuperate in another place, and the old friend mocked Jeffery and others' nervousness. The puppy was killed, and Jeffrey, Lisa, and Stella became nervous again. In order to find the true evidence, the two ladies decided to look for evidence themselves.
Lisa was stuck in the room while searching for evidence at Mr. Su's house. Jeffery called the police in time to save her from being murdered. She signaled to Jeffery that she had found evidence and the salesman knew that she was being monitored. Mr. Su quickly found Jeffery, and Jeffery, who had limited mobility, could only use flashing lights to protect himself in the dark, delaying time. When the two were fighting, the old friend arrived with Lisa and the police, but Jeffery still fell downstairs.
It's daytime again, Miss Lonely Fangxin is admiring his work in the composer's house, Mr. Su's residence is being repainted, another puppy appears, and the female dancer falls in love with a short soldier. Newlyweds still often hang curtains. Jeffery was sleeping soundly in a wheelchair with his back to the window, his legs in casts. Lisa sat quietly on the next bed, put down the novel contentedly, and picked up an advertising magazine.

    From the beginning of the film, there is a point of space construction that may make the audience suspicious: "Why can you see him, but he never sees you?" Because the floors of the two people's rooms are clearly of the same height! …And the moment when the two men were spotted looking at each other in the show ring behind the show, the mystery was finally revealed: Hitchcell knew that the audience had this suspicion. If they were not taken care of at all, they would inevitably lead them to the end in other ways. A certain degree of psychological loss, "It's a pity. The director didn't even think of a problem I thought of!" But if it is so early on the logical level (rest assured, can only be seen in one direction, because of Barabara), it will be broken. The climax of the whole film! The temporary relaxation of logic is only for the narrative high-power at the critical moment! Just like the Billy Wilder black classic: Why "make up a nonsense about a leg injury, and insurance experts don't immediately think of the weirdness of not coming to claim for compensation"? The audience thought of it, and the choreographer thought of it. But at this time, he immediately responded to the audience's psychological rhythm to highlight his wisdom, and lost the "Double Happiness" in the back!

    The scheduling and rhythm are amazing. The first long shot explained all the things that some directors had to spend more than a dozen sentences to explain without saying a word, and the subsequent unsettled cases themselves seemed to be McGoffins, just for String the stories that happened in different windows.

Rear Window quotes

  • L.B. Jefferies: I get myself half killed for you and you reward me by stealing my assignments.

    Gunnison: I didn't ask you to stand in the middle of that automobile racetrack.

    L.B. Jefferies: You asked for a, something dramatically different. You got it.

    Gunnison: So did you.

  • Gunnison: It's about time you got married, before you turn into a lonesome and bitter old man.

    L.B. Jefferies: Yeah, can't you just see me, rushing home to a hot apartment to listen to the automatic laundry and the electric dishwasher and the garbage disposal and the nagging wife...

    Gunnison: Jeff, wives don't nag anymore. They discuss.

    L.B. Jefferies: Oh, is that so, is that so? Well, maybe in the high-rent district they discuss. In my neighborhood they still nag.
