A wonderful movie full of suspense!

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2004)

Alfred Hitchcocks movie "Rear Window" sets a standard for all suspenceful movies.His wonderful camera work and detail to human life makes this movie a classic. Jeff is stuck at home with a broken leg, and nothing to do all day but stare out his window and look into the lives of his neighbors. The apartment that he stares into shows the different emotionable levels of each person. For example Ms. Lonely Heart is on the bottom and the piano player is on top. Each person in between has their own story and there characters develop with the movie. However the most sinister character is Mr. Thorwald, who is suspected of killing his wife. With the help of Lisa his girl friend they uncover the mystery and almost loose their own lives in the process! The acting of Jimmy Stewart and Hitchcocks typical blonde (Grace Kelly) work wonderful together. There wonderful acting skills and Kelly's good looks give the film a wonderful chemistry.The camera angles are wonderful, and all are shot from with in Jeff's apartment. So the audience see's exactly what Jeff see's. This is not typical for many movies who allow the audience what is going to happen before the characters.Hitchcock allowed this so that the mystery could not be solved before the movie allowed it to be. This keeps the audience on the edge of their seats and keeps all in suspense! Overall out of 10 I would give this movie a 10!!!
