Paper Summary:
This paper discusses Alfred Hitchcock's movie "Rear Window," and the way in which the main character, Jeff, develops into an obsessive voyeur as a result of becoming a temporary cripple. The writer discusses Jeff's relationship with his girlfriend, Lisa, and how it changes as her character develops in the movie. The writer also discusses the distinct approach of the camera angles used throughout the entire filming of the movie and how they help to create a feeling of entrapment.From the Paper:
"Stewart's character, Jeff, develops an intriguing pattern of voyeurism through the course of the film, which ultimately dictates into a direct obsession. Birthed as a mere distraction and effort to kill time, Jeff's voyeuristic curiosity begins to mold into a forthright obsession developing further as a result of several key happenings. Jeff is undoubtedly taken by a certain power he feels in being able to pry and spy into the lives of individuals, which, importantly noted, are unsuspecting individuals. This aspect feeds the voyeuristic nature, and nurtures the concepts of thrill for both the audience and Jeff as a character (I.M.D.B., 2007). This voyeurism proves to become more than a simple distraction or time utilizing endeavor, it becomes somewhat of an unhealthy display of inquisitive compulsion."Sample of Sources Used:
