Rear Window Review

Rating: 9/10 (31 October 2007)

Rear Window Review The plot of the film is Jefferies sitting in his apartment getting really bored. He decides to take up spying to entertain himself and comes across something very disturbing. He tries to no avail, at first, to convince his friends of what he has seen. His friends soon start to believe him. But is it too late for the ones lives at stake or will they be able to save them.For this film I found that one of the ideas of the film is focusing on watching the crime, or even discovering it. It is very well done video in that respect. This is one of Alfred Hitchcock's thriller films when many of his others are horror. Even if you like horror better, but like Hitchcock, you will like this film. The acting in this film is phenomenal, for he picked the perfect people for the parts. The set was only the courtyard and L.B. Jefferies' apartment. The cinematography is great I felt. Even though there was not much scene movement it was done very well. They make the courtyard look real yet at the same time not. The music was really well done. One of the characters that Jefferies watches is a song writer and helps out in the movie with some of the soundtrack in a minor but very cool way. The actors were amazing or so I felt. With James Stewarts Jefferies and Grace Kelly as Lisa Fremont, Thelma Ritter as Stella, he couldn't have picked a better crew. Over all anyone and everyone should see this movie in their life time.
