Rear Window... A wheelchair-bound photographer spies on his neighbours from his apartment window and becomes convinced one of them has committed murder.
Amazing dedication and effort of work has made this movie a cinema classic for all the previous and upcoming generations.
First of all it's very different.
It has easy plot, somewhat not too hard characters either, and it has very few twists, it seems perfectly normal for a regular movie made by some good moviemakers, but now look at the director of this movie and you'll change your opinion with a blink of an eye.
Alfred Hitchcock directed this movie, easily the greatest thriller/mystery director to have ever lived makes a movie that is totally out of his moviemaking range and style, proving that he can carve any kind of movie into a masterpiece.
Although the movie itself isn't as mysterious as most of the Hitchcock masterworks, it still has very manipulating elements, starting off with clever romance, interesting characters, breathtaking drama, intriguing plot and exciting thriller sequences, and while this movie's plot is easy, it's not predictable of any kind.
James Stewart is fantastic in this movie, and all the other movies he has played in too of course.
He plays a guy that is very clever, smart and has high intelligence, but there is one scene where he is completely helpless and needs the help of other characters, that's what this movie needs indeed, other actors to help James Stewart's character work.
Grace Kelly is the biggest help he got from any actor, she is brave, interesting and a very smart person.
Rear Window is a movie that excites audience from the very start, first of all it makes you interested by letting you learn the story, characters and the feelings between them.
Then the very next minute it starts to build suspense around the beloved characters that we get to know on the first half of the movie.
If you like Hitchcock movies and perhaps Home Alone, then the chances that you'll like the Rear Window three times more are very big.
Rating: 4/4
