We are also voyeurs in front of the screen

Rating: 8/10 (22 April 2020)

This drama may feel sparse and ordinary if you only watch the introduction, but if you watch it, you will be attracted by the dual perspectives inside. There is no place in the show that is violent and bloody, but as an audience, I always hold a heart It 's like riding a roller coaster. This is the unconventional technique. To go deeper, the peeping from the rear window is not only about the role of the movie, but also about us in front of the screen. Perhaps this is also a metaphor for the movie. , We also want to peep into the photographer 's inner world through a movie (a B station up master analysis said that Hitchcock first made us realize that we are all voyeurs like the male host through the establishment and destruction of the identification relationship)
What is the back window? Undoubtedly, most people will think of themselves standing by the window and watching the surroundings and even spying on the neighborhood. This is human instinct. Peeping is a manifestation of human curiosity, but from another perspective, watching movies is not It is also a kind of prying? We spy on the framed scene in the screen, just like the protagonist of this movie, secretly spying on a section of the neighborhood life in the window.
What's interesting about this movie is that it gives us two perspectives. We are both onlookers and participants. The first half of the male had to spend time at home due to leg problems, so in order to pass the time and his photography addiction, he began to observe the neighborhood. We are bystanders in this part. In the second half, due to the discovery of the murder, the male host started to interact with the world outside the window by calling and handing a note. Even when we saw the female host being caught by the murderer over the window, the whole heart was crumpled, especially the last murderer. When I was aware of the situation, I went upstairs to find the male host. The heavy footsteps were more real than the fear caused by the visual spectacle of all the horror movies I have seen. At this time, we are a participant in the story. , There is a positive interaction with the surroundings.
To make a digression, the hostess is too beautiful to look unreal, like the girl in the pictorial.
