"Rear Window" tells the story of a photographer who accidentally broke his leg. The whole movie takes place in a very small context, but with murder as clues, love and neighbors as adjustments, it is a suspense film that should have become more human.
The whole film has introduced several interesting points. It is not only a suspense film or a romance film, but also reveals some problems and some interesting phenomena.
The main story of the whole movie is that Jeff and Lisa peep and detect the crime of Germany, but the sub-line of the story is also intriguing. The conflicts of the supporting roles, such as Miss Lonely can never find a partner, and the ballerina dancing every day doing housework and being peeped by the male protagonist make the plot richer. In addition, the film's performance of marriage is also very visual: the loneliness when unmarried, the sweetness when newly married, and the quarrel after a long marriage.
Let's look at it from the man's side. As a photojournalist, Jeff roamed the battlefields, racing tracks, rainforests and other places full of danger and excitement before he broke his leg. This experience gave him a wandering temperament that was not restricted to any corners, but also made him feel free. There is a huge psychological gap in his sudden ease of cultivation, creating an inauthenticity that he doesn't belong here as an outsider. At the beginning of the film, his sweating profusely and the high temperature numbers on the thermometer undoubtedly make a clear note of this. He peeks at his neighbors like a bystander. After noticing a suspicious Mr. De, he seemed to return to the extreme environment of excitement and novelty he was accustomed to, and the inner conflict disappeared.
Jeff and Lisa's love story is also interesting. They were people from completely different worlds at first, Lisa the elegant lady, and Jeff the wandering, rambunctious photojournalist. Lisa deals with different social situations day by day. She pursues the richness of life, but unlike Jeff, this richness is based on the stability of everyday life, a richness brought about by a certain high order. And the richness that Jeff needs is a lot of wildness, so this richness is also accompanied by adventure and even danger. But after finally solving the neighbor's wife murder case together, Jeff and Lisa's revolutionary friendship, Lisa's courage to go to the murderer's house alone, her keenness in analyzing the diamond ring, and her wit and composure after being caught in De's room , and the emotional exchange that almost saves each other's life makes their love come true. Lisa also changed herself for Jeff, but when she found that Jeff fell asleep, she immediately replaced the novel in her hand with a fashion magazine. It appears that the differences and disagreements between the pair still exist, but this is how marriage is supposed to be, allowing people to keep their passions while compromising and living in harmony with each other.
Hitchcock's camera movement is also meaningful, with a wide-angle view of the entire community, and a zoomed-in shot from Jeff's camera, but the peep will always only go as deep as Jeff can see, never deeper. peep.
In general, "Rear Window" does not use any special effects, bloody and violent means, the plot is simple, and the texture of the picture is also very American style, but the director can also make a murder movie so through the contrast of dialogue expressions and atmosphere. Thrilling, and derived from many propositions worth thinking about.
PS. Lisa and the nurses really have the characteristics of Chaoyang District masses.
