Snapshot of Story:

Storyline:
Like all of Hitchcock’s movies Rear Window does not disappoint and engages the viewer with edge of the seat action and footage. The masterful acting of James Stewart who plays Jeff and Grace Kelly who plays Lisa gives added depth and realism to the whole movie. Lisa watches over Jeff as he recuperates from an injury that has bound him to a wheelchair. To pass his time Jeff routinely stares out of the rear window to get some ‘kicks’ out of other people in his apartment block. Hithcock’s great filming brings his neighbours to life and as we move from one apartment to another with the camera the audience is left to fit a ‘lifestyle’ of the people living there. This cleverly opens up one apartment where Jeff is intrigued with the mysterious goings on.

As Jeff continues to watch the character with fascination he ultimately witnesses what he thinks is a possible murder. And so our suspense begins where he brings in Lisa to spy on the neighbour to find out more about his interesting neighbour.

The ultimate climax is when he confronts the murderer face to face and fortunately for him and Lisa he is apprehended by the police.

Final Thoughts:
The movie is an interesting take on a very simple plot but which Hitchcock masterfully introduces suspense and thrilling action. Part of Hitchcock’s popularity is that he had visions for seeing the unknown and always able to keep the audience engaged in the movie with great dialogue even if there are no action scenes. He always keeps the acting as natural and believable as possible and during his movie making career has always selected the best actors for his work.

Rating:
8.5/10
