Alfred Hitchcock's later masterpiece-"Rear Window", IMDb ranked 13th, according to this ranking, you can call it one of the best works in the history of film, but in my It seems that after 50 years of this movie, the plot is no longer unusual, and the excitement and entertainment effect of the voyeuristic behavior has also been greatly reduced-people nowadays, what have they not seen? However, it is still a very meaningful movie worth watching, because no matter how technology advances, no matter how much wealth we accumulate or lose more things, human behavior and human nature will not change. .
The line I quoted at the beginning is one of the passages that impressed me the most in this film. After finding out that her puppy had been killed, the middle-aged woman shouted angrily to all the neighbors: "You don’t even know" neighbors. "The meaning of the word, you killed the only creature here who likes everyone. Did you kill him because he liked you?" As I said, people who saw this film 50 years ago would be thrilled. The plot is very exciting, and today, 50 years later, what have we not seen? When it comes to suspense, when it comes to atmosphere, when it comes to the ups and downs of the plot, there have been great works over the past 50 years-no matter how brilliant Hitchcock's film techniques were at the beginning, after all, good scripts and good directors are constantly emerging.
Having said that, the film's discussion of neighbors and the relationship between people still seems to be appropriate today: today, 50 years later, we still ignore our neighbors, we still don’t greet anyone in the elevator, we Still happy to peep into other people's lives, happy to discover their unspeakable secrets, we still despise those who treat us kindly, and take them first.
What Hitchcock wants to tell is a story, yes, but this movie does not just exist for storytelling, it paints us a picture: you can look at people’s lives, just like looking at toy houses The plastic villain. You observe them, spy on them, stay away from them. Isn't this a feeling of controlling the overall situation? Isn't this secretly satisfying people's desires in their hearts? Through a window, you see a small stage on which other people's lives are staged, and you, a safe and high onlooker, can lift up Erlang's legs and watch your good show. Is it the kind of psychology that makes the neighbors more and more distant? Is our life no longer face-to-face communication, but more of a back window, plus a computer?
The story may become outdated in 50 years, but the picture created by the movie will not, and the meaning of this picture will not.
Did you talk to your neighbor today?
