A 1954 film “Rear Window” is directed by Alfred Hitchcock tells a story of a photographer named Jeff. Confined to his apartment, Jeff looks outside in the courtyard and looks at his neighbors. This is during a heatwave, the neighbors keep their windows open.
One night during a thinderstorm, Jeff is awaken by someone screaming, “DON’T!” and breaking glass. He soon falls back asleep. Later, he wakes up from thunder and watches one of the neighbors, Thorwald from across the courtyard leave his apartment multiple time in the middle of the night with his briefcase. He goes back to sleep but with an eerie feeling. The next morning, he doesn’t see the wife of the neighbor and also sees Thorwald washing a hand saw and a knife. Convinced something foul has happened, he shares this story with his sophisticated, socialite girlfriend, Lisa and his nurse Stella. (I’m not sharing the ending).
This movie is a sophisticated style of storytelling. There are not many lines in this movie which really makes you pay attention to the facial expressions of the main character Jeff. This is a great movie for the suspense seekers and tv drama lovers. Plus, the way it’s filmed was great (lighting, shot angle, and sound).
I recommend this movie to anyone!
