Rear Window Screening Report Rear Window is a film created by the cinematic mastermind Alfred Hitchcock. Hitchcock is a giant in in film history, due to his superior films and very edgy style. If one were to look at the some of the components of this film such as murder, suspense, and mystery they will see that these are common themes amongst Hitchcock’s work. Overall, the film was exceptionally well done, and a definitive favorite of this class so far. The film is about a photographer named Jeff, who when cooped up with a broken leg turns to his neighbors for some entertainment. However, his little game of I spy goes too far when he thinks that one of his neighbors may have been murdered. Hitchcock does an excellent job of reiterating lessons throughout his films in very subtle ways. One lesson that is particularly emphasized is that one should not look to others for happiness. This lesson is first introduced by Jeff’s accident. …show more content…
The actor’s had great flow with one another, and worked together in a way which truly told the story. Jeff who was played by James Stewart was extremely likable. Everyone can relate to intense boredom while being sick or injured, and the character of Jeff takes it to a whole new level. H is an extremely likeable guy, although his reluctance to get married is a bit frustrating. Lisa on the other hand was a nice compliment to his style. Lisa, who was played by Grace Kelly, is essentially the dream woman. As a woman, she was very easy to relate to due to her desire for commitment, and the fact that Jeff’s reasoning for refusing her was ridiculous. Her reaction when she found out that Jeff had been spying on his neighbors with binoculars was priceless! She also acted as the voice of reason, which is very relatable to from the audience standpoint. Overall their performance was superb, and they made the film enjoyable to all
