Several buildings are enclosed into a yard, and the rear window faces the yard (the rear window does not refer to the real rear, but to express the concept of peeping), this way of co-living belongs to the old era, or it does not belong to the modern society. In this environment, privacy has become a state of translucency, and the neighbors will not look at you under normal circumstances, but when something strange occurs in a certain resident, it is often noticed, I think even if The male protagonist is not paralyzed and has no habit of looking at other people's windows. Someone will discover this incident, but the paralyzed male protagonist finds that there is inevitability.
In such an environment, crimes are easy to detect. This is the characteristic of this micro-society, which is different from living alone and committing crimes behind closed doors in modern society. The film is about a secret investigation by a couple out of curiosity or a sense of justice in this living environment.
This kind of co-living is actually very attractive (for me), because you are actually communicating with your neighbors, you are not living alone, you are not living alone with a family. Through the window, people have direct communication of sight, and through entering and leaving the community, people have indirect communication of life trajectories. These two hidden clues run through the lives of these people. It's a bit like Beijing's compound courtyard (not a courtyard house), where neighbors are forced to get closer to each other because of the architecture, and everyone has to communicate and is happy to communicate.
For the narrative of the film, most of the first half of the scenes are in the male protagonist's room and the scene seen from the male protagonist's room. When the female protagonist and the nanny went downstairs to investigate the opposite side, the audience also changed from a viewer to a viewer. With a participant, the mood of doubt and curiosity changed from here to thrilling, wanting to solve the case but afraid of being found out, thinking that I was observing carefully but worrying about the tangle of wrongful people, all erupted in the heroine's every move, until In the end, the perpetrator arrived in the male protagonist's room, which was really scary. The sense of substitution in the movie was very successful and strongly recommended.
