The hostess Lisa may be one of my favorite female characters. At first, I only thought that she was dignified and elegant, downright and generous, excellent temperament, natural beauty, smart and charming, lovely and moving, but as the plot progresses, she is The feminine charm displayed has gradually transformed the "suspense" and "thriller" of the film into "feminine" and "love", as if all the plots are serving the role of Lisa. You say that she is spoiled and can't bear hardship, but She can cooperate with the male protagonist to go to the murderer’s home to stuff a note, even to find evidence at night, go to the back garden, climb the fire ladder to climb into the murderer’s house, and finally get the key evidence and bring the police wittyly... Lisa showed the wit, bravery, curiosity, ingenuity, adventure, tolerance, dedication and other personality charms of women to the fullest. As the film unfolds, we can clearly see the growth and transformation of Lisa, who is very full, very three-dimensional, and very successful. The end of the film is also very fun and childish. Lisa changed her gorgeous long skirt, put on light and capable leather shoes and jeans, lay on her side on the bed and read outdoor cross-country books. I picked up a fashion magazine happily. Haha was really interesting. She meant: My old lady can accompany you to dine and sleep in the mountains, but I am still the fashionable and beautiful fairy before. For the sake of love, I can choose to change compromise, but this change is not without a bottom line and losing self-dependence. The premise of compromise is mutual fulfillment and love for each other. My hobbies, my interests, and my career must be respected and retained. In the final analysis, under the cloak of suspense and horror, this is actually a romantic romance film hahaha. "What do you think is love?" "If the other person does not compromise, then I will compromise."

With his superb narrative techniques and precise control of the lens language, Hitchcock shot the film very cleverly and ingeniously, using limited perspectives and scenes to maximize the narrative function, and through unique perspectives and scenes. Moving the lens to switch the prying perspective, showing the world in square inches, compact, rich, full, three-dimensional, unique, and unique. The small and cramped space does not restrict the tension of the lens and the infinite possibilities of suspense. Each window shows a unique scene of city life, the ballerina waiting for her lover, the suicide girl who longs for love, the couple who put the dog in the basket and walk the dog, the newlyweds who live every night, the partner who sleeps on the balcony, Frustrated musicians, bikini beauties, watchmakers... scenes by scenes constitute a plethora of Ukiyo-e paintings of urban sentient beings, showing the intimacy and alienation, beauty and mourning, exquisiteness and loneliness of modern life. Moreover, with the development of the storyline, the disorder of all characters, relationships, and scenes can return to order. The narrative is smooth and complete. Under the ingenious transition, the director has accomplished an extraordinary "multi-line narrative" brilliantly.

Hitchcock's creation and control of the suspenseful atmosphere is also easy and has a distinct personal style, zooming an undocumented preset murder case into a small window of an apartment, through the unique setting of the frame and the ingenuity of the lens Movement drives the development of the whole story. The unique way of peeking through the rear window does not enter the scene of the crime but tells a complete murder case with first-person vision. The unknown outside the frame is expanded through the known extension inside the frame, here The charm of suspense is highlighted in the alternate journey of the known and unknown.

And the film’s suspense and dramatic comedy are also well combined. There is a lot of dialogue and interesting. The main performance and supporting roles are also remarkable, especially the nurse aunt hahaha, "I haven’t read any books. But I can tell you that if two people fall in love at first sight, they should bump into each other, like two taxis on the road, instead of sitting with specimens, analyzing each other, like a civil service exam."

Grace Kelly is so beautiful! She was stunning as soon as she appeared on the stage. Every look and every set of her clothes was exceptionally elegant and beautiful.

"Good photographers basically have an occupational disease-they will look at the world consciously or unconsciously whenever and wherever they are."
