"Rear Window" is a film I have seen many times, this classic film is from the master of thriller Alfred. Hitchcock's Hand, produced by Paramount Pictures, was released on August 1, 1954. On June 16, 2000, the film was listed as the 42nd of the 100 best American films of all time published by the Motion Picture Association of America. Of those 100 films, Citizen Kane came out on top with the most votes, but it's worth noting that four of the 100 films were horror thrillers, and Alfred. Hitchcock's films consisted of three, Psycho (1960). North by Northwest (1959). Then there's Rear Window (1954). The film was selected by 1,500 members of the Film Association, including directors, actors, film critics, and audience voting, including U.S. President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore. From this, it can be seen that the master Alfred. Hitchcock's thriller has a reputation and weight in the industry. His approach to horror can be said to have had a profound impact.
This "Rear Window" seems today, probably some viewers will feel dull, slow pace, and have a lot of patience to fit in. Many of our cultures today are fast food cultures, and we ask to see zombies headshots like "Horror Planet", and limbs are decomposed like "Texas Chainsaw Killer", "Gunman" is full of blood and death rock, that is called horror. However, after fast food, like a hamburger, this horror will soon be forgotten. Therefore, the director has a variety of tricks, using more bloody and more fancy shots to continue to headshot and bleed for the sake of your and my temporary needs. But the result is a similar plot of zombies with basically the same face and a mob that fights fiercely and fiercely. But let's calm down, and when you want to experience the ultimate in horror, take a look at Hitchcock.
At the beginning of the film, 5 to 6 shots are used to convert, a piece of music, giving us at least ten pieces of information, such as the era, location, the protagonist's occupation, encounters, personality, environment, climate, the preparation before other characters appear on camera, etc., but without using a sentence of dialogue or voiceover to convey this information, completely handing over the right to think to the audience. The clouds generally flow by, and there is no extra annotated dialogue. This is very different from the routine annotated subtitles, commentary, or large pieces of verbal dialogue at the beginning of many films. Hitchcock's purpose is to make you feel as if you have walked past an ordinary calm and peaceful community with his image, which also makes a mental premeditation for the interspersing and deepening of the plot in the future, forming a strong black and white contrast, but it is quietly carried out, so that you are unaware, and the so-called silence is better than sound at this time. But it didn't reveal too much information to you, leaving you with a part of the puzzle, "What can happen in such a peaceful community that can shock people's hearts?" "This is the first trap Hitchcock has set for us.
Next, using the curiosity of people, let us follow the protagonist's heart and eyes, with the instinctive psychology of voyeurism, to bring you into a back window world. Through intermittent explanations, clever camera transitions and the application of light music, you can reason with him to investigate the case, and the wonderful thing is that in the thriller, the humorous dialogue interspersed with continuous witty words makes the film more lifelike, and narrates a good story of the transformation of friendship into love. However, Hitchcock is cunning, there is not a drop of red liquid in the whole text, no gunshot is heard, just like Holmes shows a terrible case of corpse splitting, which is also Hitchcock's cleverness and style, he does not give you visual horror, Hitchcock gives you spiritual tremors and hindsight. Therefore, the master-level horror and horror are bloodless.
As is customary, Hitchcock makes a presence in the thrillers he makes, sometimes passers-by, sometimes as a repairman, and in this film he is a man who adjusts clocks. It's a symbol left for my own film.
