About cinema: Rear Window

Two weeks ago, my father, my sisters and I saw the 'Rear Window' on the TV. This is an excellent film directed by Alfred Hitchcock on 1954 and written by John Michael Hayes. Started in by James Stewart and Grace Kelly, the film is about a man that had and accident and has to be like for three weeks with a cast on his leg, on a wheelchair. So, he has nothing to do but look at his neighbours. All seems to be very boring but suddenly he sees something very unusual. A man, one who lives with his seek wife almost on front of the window of our hero, goes out and come in during the daybreak. And in the next days he (the main character) doesn’t see the man’s wife anymore. What happened? Convincing also his girlfriend, they start looking for answers (he calls a friend who works as detective). And just looking at the man’s apartment and relating one fact with another, they realised that he killed is wife because he wanted to leave with his lover.
The film keep’s your attention all the time. You cannot stop seen it, because you feel like you need to know if the main character is just dreaming and imaging things because he is too bored or he (and all the characters that believe on him) is right. Also the images, the photography is incredible well done. The distribution of the element is very carefully, and it denotes a meticulous work. For me it is a piece of art that everybody should see. Actually, I would rate it as a must see movie.
