Everyone is a voyeur. Rather, everyone has a desire to explore the world of others to understand the difference between them and others, or to possess the desire for ornamental interest and the dark side to occupy the private life of others, so as to achieve the satisfaction of inner deformity. "Rear Window" is based on such a scene, the ordinary alleys of New York, the buildings where ordinary people live, the hot summer weather, and the open windows of every house - this is a man who has to stay because of a leg injury. Jeff, who is recuperating at home, has an unexpected opportunity to observe the lives of his neighbors. On the first floor, a woman who loves sculpture plays with works that will never take shape; on the second floor, a courtesan in underwear and shorts is diligent in fitness; on the third floor, a newlywed couple; on the fourth floor, a depressed composer; ; the quarrelling salesman with his sick wife ; the couple who sleeps on the balcony at night because of the heat , and the dog who loves to have a dog . . . All these are in Jeff's sight, he just has to turn his head You can see this large theater, and various stage plays are staged in different windows.
The suspense of the film is that on a rainy night, the salesman went out alone three times with a work bag. The next day, his wife in the hospital bed disappeared from Jeff's sight for no reason. No one cared who was missing in the building, except Jeff. And no one will know that their lives are being revealed under the telescope of another man, who is only a building away from them. Hitchcock's works are as inseparable as his name and suspense, but voyeurism and murder, who is more glorious, the combination of the two is a daring adventure. I thought the salesman just sent his wife to another city, and I thought the case was far from simple. As simple as that, he collected ropes and sharp knives, packed suitcases, rented out the room, left the lady carrying the bag alone, left the wedding ring and killed the curious puppy all fell into Jeff's eyes, and put his The speculation was sent to the front of the case. Well, I admit, this is indeed a simple murder and dismemberment, the cause is just a spat between husband and wife.
I like this angle, standing in the shadows, facing more windows and characters. Lonely Fangxin was touched by the composer's music before committing suicide, and they became a potential couple; the newlyweds had their first quarrel after their honeymoon period; the courtesan chose an ordinary soldier who was shorter than her after dealing with more than N men .....Life goes on as it is, the landlord repaints the salesman's room, waiting for the next tenant, and Jeff, pushed down the stairs by the salesman, has his other intact leg slapped heavily. plaster.
The music cheers at dawn, and when no one is screaming, a murder is going on. There are some cunning, smug, and confident, behind the film, our naked humanity is brought to the screen, and in the end, no one can laugh out loud.
Remember, love your neighbors at all times.
