Cameras: an extension of voyeurism

The telescope cannot meet the needs of freeze-frame preservation, the camera cannot extend the probe of desire, and the telephoto camera has achieved both. When the male protagonist took out the lens and installed the camera, I really couldn't help but feel happy. The male protagonist's window is a viewfinder, and in this viewfinder, the daily life of the neighbors can be seen. Of course, everyone's window can be a viewfinder. In order to dissipate the heat (desire), people open the window; because of shame, people close the window. As the only person who has nothing to do, the male protagonist is a photographer with a strong desire to spy. He imagines and processes the pictures captured by the lens, and tries to figure out the story behind it, which is impossible for ordinary viewfinders. . When we say, "There must be warmth and a story behind a good photo", we are not completely talking nonsense. At least in the movie, in the eyes of the male protagonist, every picture is not to be missed. Contains important information, or "evidence." Every time I swipe through the upper, lower, left and right windows from the perspective of the male protagonist, I am very nervous as an audience, because I have absolutely no idea what horror will appear in the next shot (haha, a common trick in horror movies). But Hitchcock is kind of friendly, not the whole set, always moving the camera smoothly and boringly, so I was a little sleepy at first...

The male protagonist in the play said: Sometimes I think, is it really moral to use binoculars to peep at others?

At first glance at this sentence, I thought to myself, it's all said on this point, don't you have any points in your heart? But if you think about it carefully, wouldn't the act of peeping seem less perverted if you didn't rely on the telescope? There is an old saying in China, see no evil. When necessary, you can close your eyes, such as when watching a horror movie. But eyes do have the freedom to look forever, and people shouldn't feel sorry for their eyesight.

The lens of the camera extends and satisfies people's desire for voyeurism, which brings a lot of convenience and makes people more naked. Technology is like this!

    "I've always wanted to meet Mrs. Thorward." Things won't come out of nowhere, and the girlfriend also joined in. The detective was so ridiculous, it turned out to be a comedy haha!

    The layout is superbly set, and then the front is flat, but I am quite nervous at the end. . Also, Grace Kelly is the most beautiful actress in the world, I think, every appearance is so amazing. .
