The thing that fascinates me most in the film: First of all, it implies people's desire for voyeurism; don't think of it as nasty, in fact, no matter where it is, people will always be in a state of spying and being spied on. Who doesn't have a window in the house?
The second is the rhythm of the film, or it can be called the "Hitchcock rhythm"-rush and slow. When you are nervous, you are like Jeffery sitting by the window sill, watching Lisa commit a risk but can't do anything. Relax, like the hero and heroine, sitting comfortably in front of the windowsill, reading magazines, drinking tea, and looking at people outside the window with binoculars.
Each of us is like living in a house. There are windows in the house. You will look out from time to time, and sometimes people outside will come in and look at you.
Always remember that when watching this movie, you must not be afraid, otherwise you will be following Hitchcock's way.
Hitchcock is a magical director. I read some books about him and his movies when I was in middle school, and I was fascinated by it. He is called the "Master of Suspense", but I think the suspense he created is not the real charm of his movies. Their essence should be his interpretation of the dark side of human nature.
