We often see people who are prone to peeping in Hitchcock movies or use the angle of the peeping lens to reflect the world. The rear window can be said to be a classic work that takes Hitchcock's hobby to the extreme. In the film, Hitchcock shows us the nature of the film. From the beginning of the film, we are placed in the perspective of a voyeur, that is, the perspective of the photographer Jeff with a leg injury.
