First of all, this film tells a suspenseful story, although from the current point of view, the suspenseful setting is a bit simple. The various signs seen from the window made one have to suspect that the middle-aged salesman seemed to have committed a murder. So investigation, reasoning, approaching, so slowly come to the truth of the incident.

Second, it's a love story, and Lisa, played by Grace Kelly, shines every time she appears. In the end she completely conquered the heart of the hero with her daring actions.

But when you think about it, it seems that Hitchcock is not just telling these two obvious popular stories.

Looking back, the photographer actor broke a leg due to work, and could only pass the time while sitting in a wheelchair in a plaster cast and looking out the window every day. What did he see? Lonely Lonely Miss Fangxin is playing a one-man show in the room, a composer is troubled about not being able to write a good piece, a ballet girl is wandering among her companions, attracting butterflies, a middle-aged salesman and his wife in bed An unhappy marriage, and the newlyweds who just moved in with their windows closed all day long, must be a glue-like love. And the male protagonist himself, hesitant to think that the perfect girlfriend in the fashion circle is not the right person for his life partner. Except for the composer, everyone is facing their own love and marriage.

How many lonely people have thought about using sleeping pills to end themselves, and how many marriages finally make people just want to end each other's life.

In the end, Miss Lonely Reassured was rescued by music, which gave people a touch of comfort. The newlyweds were complaining because their husband lost their job. They seemed to see the shadow of a middle-aged salesman and her wife. His heart should have settled down, Lisa was sitting next to her in jeans, holding a book across the Himalayas and reading, a girl who took the initiative to change for love. . But wait, after seeing Jeff falling asleep, she put down the journey through the Himalayas and picked up her favorite fashion magazine and read it happily - this last scene seems to be laying the groundwork for their future married life.
In the hot summer, the whole story is warm and calm. However, the temperature is getting cooler. Thinking about it this way, it really makes me chill.
