    The sophisticated story design and the unexpected and unpredictable ending are deeply imprinted by Hitchcock's...

    After reading an analysis, I found it very interesting-the windows that the male protagonist looks into are like pieces of movie screens: lonely women are dramas, newlyweds are erotic films, pianists are musicals, ballet dancers are sex comedies, sick women are there Horror film. Because of the single scene, photography and performance needs to be very prominent. Photography is indeed! At the beginning, the long shot of the background of the characters, the fragment of the man from the opposite...

    A rewatch after 9 years. Playful, the multi-act account and the classical soundtrack seem to be an extended episode of Cat and Mouse~ @BJIFF...

    In Xi Pang's work, it should not be considered top-notch, more like a sketch (not a comedy sketch). The film is very delicate, and uses a limited perspective to maximize the narrative function. This limited perspective simplifies many questions (such as which woman the salesman went to the station with), allowing the audience to follow the protagonist’s thoughts closely. Hitchcock is definitely a master in maintaining suspense and grasping the audience's psychology. Seeing the last plot of...

    The most interesting thing about this film is that every family in the window can capture a story independently, and bystanders are Jeff holding a telescope, neighbors, and of course, the...

    Peeping is immoral, conjecture can come true. The setting of the windows is not only clever but also interesting. Your life and your story are other people's showcases. The complete structure is more advanced than "Playing Time". The color photography and the dialogue are very exciting. It dilutes the sense of suspense and adds entertainment, narrowing the murder case into a window, and the lens is always shot in first-person vision. He has never entered the scene of the crime but talked about...

    Too evocative. The desire to peep, the relationship between men and women, and the witty dialogue. The opening scene of the film has completely explained the background, and the space is not big but the scene is very dramatic. The skill embodied in this film is as fascinating as Grace Kelly's...

    The use of the lens in a limited space is superb. Because they are "peeping", most of them are subjective shots with the meaning of scrutiny and observation, but the arrangement of the human eyes, telescopes, cameras and other media is not boring visually. Under different depths of field, different characters take turns to appear and exit. Behind each window, there is a side story, which is intertwined with each other. Then, under the ingenious scheduling, a "multi-line narrative" of another...

    If you don’t kill the viewer, you will be complicit in voyeurism and conspiracy. It’s more...

    I roughly understand the aesthetics of the obese women: blond, blue-eyed, big-breasted, well-dressed, smart, kind, and curious. I can wear a silk nightdress, I can climb a water pipe, I am a beauty spy, I can play a detective, and I take off my dress for love and wander the world with a man. In this way, Hepburn's image is not good enough, Monroe is too explicit and not noble enough, and Vivien Leigh is too strong. To put it bluntly, the peaceful beauty, seemingly rebellious, had to fall into...

Rear Window quotes

  • Stella: When I married Miles, we were both a couple of maladjusted misfits. We are still maladjusted misfits, and we have loved every minute of it.

  • L.B. Jefferies: Would you fix me a sandwich, please?

    Stella: Yes, I will. And I'll spread a little common sense on the bread.
