Enthusiastic cold-blooded animal

The first feeling this movie gave me is that the male lead is really bad.

The male protagonist had to sit in front of the window all day because of the cast of his leg, so that he had no physical movements except for vividly imitating the disabled. It is different every time I look around, and my reaction is different every time I look around. In such a narrow performance space, he makes such a vivid and wonderful interpretation. I think this actor has a really good acting skills.

Then talk about the heroine. Lisa is really a female figure I like very much. Before watching "Rear Window", I first watched "Victorius" and was overwhelmed by Kim Novak's beauty. When I looked at the rear window, before the hapless female protagonist appeared on the stage, there was a male protagonist to him. The nurse commented that she was not suitable for him, which made me think that this woman is not the number one female. When I saw Lisa, I felt a little worse than Jin Novak, so I always looked at them with a "slightly frustrated" perspective. When they started quarreling, the girl was not fierce either. Every line used a down-to-earth tone, which sounded a lot like Ye Yuqing in "Red Roses and White Roses". Such a successful business woman condescends to be a housewife, probably this is true love. When she bravely helped her boyfriend find out about the suspected murderer, and even sneaked into the suspect's home, I really admired her courage. Where can I find such a perfect wife? Not only did she go to the hall or the kitchen, but she also beat her to catch a gangster. In the end, the hero finally accepted them and admired them.

At the end of the film, the girl secretly put down Indiana Jones that her boyfriend wanted her to read while her boyfriend was asleep, and picked up her favorite fashion magazine. It seemed that the differences between them still exist, but with her courage and love, together What is it to be born to die?

When I knew that the actress was the famous Grace Kelly, I went to the hospital to treat face blindness--

The line that touched me the most in this movie was also what the girl said, to the effect "Look, actually a salesman Did not kill his wife. His wife is still alive, but we are so disappointed. We are cold-blooded animals."

I don't understand the psychology of voyeurism. I think it's a problem with my position. Human beings have a strong curiosity about any unknown. When this unknown happens to be greater than the safety and benefit of others, it is not cold-blooded. ——The kind of unusual concerted effort between the two of them and the old nurse cannot be achieved by any money or preaching. It looks really fun.

Finally, I would like to pay tribute to a group of great extras and their directors in the film. A back window is their small stage. They tell their story with their body movements and the same invisible facial expressions from a distance that is too far away to hear the lines, but you are within a few seconds. Just know what happened between them. It's great.

    If I watch it now, this movie is no longer so horrible. The horrors now scare the audience. I think the reason why Hitchcock is classic is to master the overall situation and create a weird and thrilling atmosphere throughout the movie.

    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 digging flowers, you will be taken aback. Suddenly you feel that the truth will come to light immediately, and you suddenly suspect that you are completely wrong. . On the other hand, Xi Pang always gives the audience something they want to see: such as peeking at the beautiful women changing clothes, dancing, such as the perfect heroine, such as the actor's ignorance or even indifference to the perfect heroine... more of control The audience is not submissive to the audience. Grace Kelly has a sense of incompatibility with the story and actor James Stewart, which may be the effect Xi Pang wants. The male protagonist of that era still looked at women in a somewhat condescending manner. There is a little irony at the end, but it is hard to say whether it is satirizing the heroine or the male protagonist.
