The Rear Window is about a photographer who after breaking
his leg is confined to his apartment home finding entertainment in spying in on
his neighbors. In the care of his nurse Stella and girlfriend Lisa, Jeff finds
nothing wrong in his peeping ways until he comes to the conclusion that one of
his neighbors murdered his wife. The Rear Window for me was very interesting
and captivating like any good murder mystery should be. The characters were
very believable and delivered a great performance for the film. The lecture for this film was focused on the
Gaze meaning the perspective that the director wanted to focus from and what
he/she wanted the audience to see from the film. Lara Mulvey argued that the male gaze in The
Rear Window was very sexist making the lead female character Lisa an object of
male attention which my opinion is true
in a way but not to the point where it took away from her true talent as an
actress. The movie really focused on the voyeuristic gaze from the character
Jeff. The director really showed good angles of the movie kind of from the
outside looking in from Jeff’s perspective. Overall I would say this was a good
film.
