Rear Window (1954)

Excuse me for this noisy review but I have to make this a long ass comment for it to be accepted by http://www.imdb.com

Very thrilling. Very riveting. Disturbing in many psychological levels.
Truly, it is what you don't see that scares you - this adage is
personified in this movie. I loved Lisa's character arc, as she tries
to draw Jeff's attention away from spying on Thorwald. She was in
denial, trying to prove Jeff wrong all the time. But a moment before
that scene fades out, she's very well hooked into what might have
happened across as well.

And hey, we even see her and Stella - Jeff's aid audaciously dig in the
apartment's garden across. And Lisa - the cynical girlfriend who
couldn't care less even ascends through the fire escape. And watch this
very thrilling scene as Jeffrey's could only scream his girlfriend's
name and watch in horror. Hitchcock said to always make the audience
suffer as much as possible - we do suffer as a helpless and disabled
audience as well in these scenes I am talking about.

If PSYCHO was creepy enough - you'll get some of those eery moments in
REAR WINDOW too, but more psychologically than visually or graphically
portrayed as they talk about the clues to Mrs. Thorwald. You don't see
any of these of course - but what your mind imagines or visualizes is
far more terrifying than anything you'll see in this film.

Plus a breathtaking climax. Watch the very last frame - the closing
shot of the movie. Grade A+

Wow, I just watched the REAR WINDOW ETHICS bonus feature and it was now I realized the movie is NOT scored! It just uses the diegetic music found in the film...

[MrBiddle]

I just realized that this is the goriest film I've seen but there's n0t a drop of blood in it.

[MrBiddle]

Uy, Roland.

I disgree with you. Mas ganahan ko aning salidaa kaysa N.B.N.

besides, Grace Kelly is super hot. Who would you rather jack off to - Grace Kelly or Eva Marie Saint?

By the way Eva is in SUPERMAN 5.

What's also interesting in here is how Lisa - Grace Kelly tries so hard to impress Jefferies. You see that going on in most of the movie, and in the last shot - see how she's reading HIGH ON THE HIMALAYAS. but then she realizes, maybe trying so hard to be the girl she might be so she can go with Jefferies when he heals... so she puts that down and reads HARPER'S BAZAAR instead.

Katong na hu'og si Jefferies sa courtyard, I think ilaha tong gi Velocity Envelope and then Stewart was tied up and hoisted upwards with cables, which gi rotoscope dayun nila sa Photoshop afterwards.

I didn't know that Vegas and Premiere existed even in 1954. :P :P :P
seriously kotiha anang ipabaliktad og dagan nga footage sa una noh? i photograph na ug usab?

Mao nang hayahay na kaayo ang mga NLE. It might have been a wet dream to the editors of yesterday.

[MrBiddle]

I'll bump this up so at least Roland Roldan can say something about this film. Did you jack off to Grace Kelly, Land?

[MrBiddle]

Hala 70MM ang gigamit sa pag film aning salidaa?

[r/brey]

i think only you and i know of this film paolo macachor. i liked it but i dont think its great. and 50s girls never really got to me. except ingrid bergman of course. heheh.

and i dont think bumping is legal in these forums.

[MrBiddle]

Uy, mas gwapa pa si Grace Kelly! Bumping? Si Vanceloma man tingali ang nagpauso ana...

I think the most nerve racking suspense scenes in history is when Thorwald and Lisa are face to face and we - the audience is Jefferies, helpless and can only watch in terror in that wheelchair.

I think its great. And one of my see and see again along with NORTH BY NORTHWEST and SHADOW OF A DOUBT.

Ang u'o man diay tong gilubong sa flower bed... kayasa.

I mean what else would fit into a hat box? The goriest movie without a drop of blood in it...
