At 1 hour 023 seconds in "Rear Window", the male lead needs to show this expression at this moment, so the director actually asked him to do something unrelated to the plot that caused this expression, and perform this expression, which is exquisite.

"Rear Window". On the contrary, it is a movie with such a simple plot, but I don't know how I want to describe it. There must be a meaningful perspective, for those of us who are watching from the window of the movie to the window of life. The murderer at the end was caught, as if it became a node. After being caught, everyone and things inside and outside the window changed in the opposite direction. The man and the woman became close because of this incident, but the closeness gave birth to contradictions. (the last book-changing behavior of the female one), outside the window, the husband of the Neptune Dancer returned from service, the young man and woman became violent from their love, and so on. What does the director want to say? In all persevering observation, things must go their opposite? And in this direction, the opposite of the opposite that is about to arrive but has not yet been conceived? Eat salty today, want to be lighter tomorrow? Tomorrow is light, and you want to eat more salty? The days are so stupid that you just want to be smoother, but when you get tired and crooked, you will start tossing again? Observing the murder is not the core of the plot. The core of the plot may be the act of observation itself. If you don't observe, you can only know that things are always changing, and if you hide in the window and look out of the window, you will be better. further? do you mean this. I really think that this kind of thinking is still not in place, or it may be that the director himself did not think too much.

    The biggest feeling after watching Bi is not the so-called suspense and horror, but the excellent sense of the screen and the ingenuity of the transition, and the humorous taste of the lines. There are a lot of sparks~~ The feminine topic gently rubbed by the theme itself and the indifference and alienation of the city and the little warmth The side, but it only stops at the level of rubbing~ and this product is actually still half a love story orz~. . .

    Watching "Rear Window" again after many years is still an absolute classic. Hitchcock takes "voyeurism", which he is very interested in, as the theme of the movie, and the whole film is developed in the same scene, whether it is in the sixties or today after the millennium, it is a business. The bet. The photographer Jeffreys, played by James Stewart, had to sit in a wheelchair because of a broken bone. His constant peeking out of the window from his room is the first level, and the various figures in the rooms outside the window are the second level. , Jeffries, his girlfriend Lisa, and the response of Tesla, the doctor and nurse, are the third level. These three levels constitute the world in "Rear Window". As Truffaut said in a conversation with Hitchcock: "What Jeffries sees from the window is not a brutal atrocities, but a picture of human weaknesses."
