Rear Window – 1954 movie

rearwindow2The movie Rear Window was a very good movie… I was watching more for the angle of the shots, shadows, and Hitchcock techniques of film making. I really enjoyed the suspense movie. I always appreciate some of Hitchcock’s movies on simplicity  NO cgi, no big budget film, not a lot of action, but at the end your thinking… wow that was great!  I also keep forgetting how beautiful “Grace Kelly” was… wow.

It about a man (James Stewart) who broke his leg and is trapped in his apartment starring out the window for 7 weeks.  His nurse (Thelma Ritter), girlfriend (Grace Kelly), and cop buddy from the war was really the only characters till the end. He watches people through the window in his apartment and notices some strange things going on with one of them (Raymond Burr) when his wife becomes missing. He tries to convince everyone but there seems to be no crime. In the end he proves he’s right , and in Hitchcock style everything is pulled together.

It’s definitely worth a watch for a late night movie. I enjoyed it at least.
