    "The courtyard symbolizes the world, the (voyeur) photographer is the director himself, and the telescope represents the camera and the lens." Truffaut said well. In each window are comic strips, radio stations with different themes, and stories being watched. The most interesting thing is that the male photographer, who is the subject of the gaze, seems to be the subject of being distracted. He has been trapped in a wheelchair in a passive position. The girlfriend who only buys clothes in his...

    In fact, from the beginning to the end, the film is entangled with the initiative of a person who has lost energy to the outside world, but such an initiative is strongly materialized. This is probably the limitation of Xi Pang as a Freud fan. I seriously doubt whether Grace Kelly appeared in this film as an actor or as a clothes...

    In the climax of the film, Jeff used the camera flash against the neighbor who broke into the house, and wanted to recapture the neighbor as the image he was peeping through the rear window; the neighbor threw him out of the rear/real window (rear/real window); Isn’t this exactly what Hitchcock did to the audience? Let foreign objects in the real world pierce into the realm of imagination. This process is carried out through a series of "meta" structures in the film: whether it is the window...

    Watching "Rear Window" again after many years is still an absolute classic. Hitchcock takes "voyeurism", which he is very interested in, as the theme of the movie, and the whole film is developed in the same scene, whether it is in the sixties or today after the millennium, it is a business. The bet. The photographer Jeffreys, played by James Stewart, had to sit in a wheelchair because of a broken bone. His constant peeking out of the window from his room is the first level, and the various...

    How can it be interesting to investigate a case when falling in love! The role of a photojournalist created by Stewart is really interesting. When his fiancée, nurses and colleagues participated in the process of solving the case, the atmosphere suddenly became Conan. Hahaha, it should be regarded as Hitchcock. It is the best combination of entertainment and suspense in the film. At the same time, not only found a very good way of storytelling, but also satisfied the audience's general desire...

    7/10. Revisit. Pop-screen viewing, double the joy, every window is a frame for the audience to peer into the lives of others, get up in the morning and peek at the beauty in bikinis, laugh at the funnyness of the neighbors sleeping on the balcony during the rainy day, comment on the puppies who love to dig and use The basket carries the pet up and down the stairs, watching the newlyweds who closed the window and the bridal chamber thinking about marriage. The ending scene is from the two...

    If I watch it now, this movie is no longer so horrible. The horrors now scare the audience. I think the reason why Hitchcock is classic is to master the overall situation and create a weird and thrilling atmosphere throughout the...

    The fourth side (like the fourth wall of the theater stage) has only the residents of Stewart (only the audience can see the other three sides), S can/can not hear the sound (can/can't the audience hear the sound), and the role of S is just the audience A condensed carrier for gazing. Cinematic space-theater stage...

    Think of it as a "desktop movie." Jimmy Stewart looks at his computer screen like a gamer, and he can open/close, zoom in/out, maximize/minimize different windows freely. operate....

    rear window

    Hitchcock's most influential work.

    The film tells the story of the hero, a photojournalist who loves adventure. He injured his leg in a car race and recuperates at home every day. He likes to see the life of his neighbor through the back window of his house, a talented composer, a young woman who is...

    Voyeurism is terrible

    "Rear Window" is one of the masterpieces of Hitchcock's mid- and late-stage suspense films. Although the whole film did not make me feel terrible, as a film released in 1954, I have to admit that Hitchcock is an outstanding master of suspense. It can be described as ingenious in making the film's...
