Jeff, a photographer who has been taking pictures for magazines for many years, broke his leg due to a work injury, and his left leg is in plaster cast from thigh to foot. From the rear windows of several families in an apartment building, they can watch other people's every move. There is a ballerina who wears a bikini all day and does everything without forgetting to practice; there is a single who, after arranging a family dinner, from opening the door for the imaginary guests to toasting together, then bows his head and hides his face in tears. Women; there is a composer who plays piano all day and composes, etc. The behavior of these people, he saw in his eyes, just smiled. But when he saw that the fake jewelry salesman treated his sick wife with ferocity, and ignored his girlfriend Lisa and the nurse who came to take care of him jokingly that he was a kind of "voyeur", he paid special attention, even Step back into the dark to observe with a telescope. When he saw that the salesman had carried his special box three times in the middle of the night and went out in the heavy rain, wrapped two long knives in paper, tied a large box with rope, and asked the porter to carry it away, while his wife Can't see it anymore; he told Lisa and the nurse what he saw, and they were even alerted. He suspected that the salesman had killed his wife and dismembered it and shipped it in boxes; he brought in an old friend of the current inspector who had spent three years on a fighter jet during World War II, and the inspector also investigated , learned from the concierge that the salesman took his wife out of the apartment while Jeff fell asleep. After Jeff saw the salesman sorting clothes, his girlfriend helped him analyze that the salesman's wife's handbag and jewelry were still there, and he was sure that the salesman showed the concierge another woman. But their inferences were all denied by the inspector because he learned from the train station that the salesman had sent "his wife" to a certain place, and found that the box had been taken away by "the salesman's wife"; he asked them to do so give up. They saw a neighbor's puppy strangled to death, which alarmed all the neighbors, but the salesman was missing. Together with the nurse, they saw the salesman cleaning the walls and the flowers in the flower beds dwindling. Jeff designed a note with "What did you do to her", and his girlfriend went to put it into the salesman's door. Jeff used a telescope to observe the salesman's expression when he saw the note, so as to deduce that her wife was attracted to him. Harmful. Jeff then planned to call the salesman and threatened him to let him go to a restaurant, while Lisa and the nurse went to dig flower beds; Lisa even climbed the safety ladder and climbed the window into the salesman's room to get the salesman's wife's marriage Ring; the salesman suddenly returned to the house, just as Jeff had called the police, Lisa was taken away by the police as a burglar, and the salesman also saw that Jeff was watching him. Jeff asked the nurse to go to the police station to bail Lisa, but had to fight the salesman who came to the door. Fortunately, Lisa, the nurse, The detective and others came together, but Jeff was almost thrown downstairs by the salesman and climbed onto the balcony floor. At this time, his hands were weak and he fell down, breaking his other leg. In the end, the single woman and the composer became a couple, the ballerina's husband came home from the army, and Lisa and Jeff, who had both legs in casts, seemed to be gone. It's such a fun and interesting video. The movement of the screen and the scheduling of the shots are very exciting; the words, words, frowns and smiles of each character are very interesting. Looking at it again, there are so many details, really memorable, just like chewing a green olive. If you think about it, what happened in the movie is impossible in reality. In the film, the walls below the windows are very short, and the windows are almost as wide as the entire wall. This is a high-end hotel, and residential buildings are not like this. But a movie is a movie, so leave it alone. And watching other people's every move through the rear window, is it "peeping"? It's not what the film is about, and that Jeff is in that very special situation. The question is what do you do if you happen to see someone behaving extremely suspiciously? I'm afraid everyone will have different ideas.

    Peeping is a movie, watching is a role, and acceptance is a narrative; but this time, in addition to these meta things, I am more interested in the intimacy and alienation in the city's "siheyuan". The beauty and mourning of the city are all in its loneliness. We are at the window. Zhong Leak also peeked through the window. This is a unique stimulus element of the city. The urban female protagonist and the adventurous male protagonist finally find a cross in this "urban adventure"

    How can it be interesting to investigate a case when falling in love! The role of a photojournalist created by Stewart is really interesting. When his fiancée, nurses and colleagues participated in the process of solving the case, the atmosphere suddenly became Conan. Hahaha, it should be regarded as Hitchcock. It is the best combination of entertainment and suspense in the film. At the same time, not only found a very good way of storytelling, but also satisfied the audience's general desire for voyeurism. Except for Miss Lonely, Harry was squeezed by her newlywed girlfriend to make me laugh. The intensive lines of this movie are really well written. The large number of dialogues between the hero and the heroine are interesting, and the nurse aunt’s vomiting is even more eloquent. Of course, every set of Princess Grace Kelly’s clothes are too gorgeous. It's really beautiful!
