Photojournalist Jeffery broke a leg in an accident, and now he has to spend a boring day in a wheelchair as he travels a lot. In the midsummer of New York, the neighbors around him open their windows day and night. Jeffery, who is free, always likes to observe the neighbors around him through the windows. A glamorous dancer is wearing a bra and shorts and doing housework with beautiful dance steps every day; a composer who lives alone often sits at the piano and writes, and is no exception when doing housework; a childless couple is very hot Lying on the balcony on the third floor to cool off, put the puppy down to play every day; the wife of Mr. Su, a salesman on the second floor, was bedridden for a long time, and two people's corners could be seen from time to time; the single woman on the first floor seemed to be unable to find a partner, Jie Jie Fury called it "Lonely Heart"; after a newlyweds moved into the apartment, they were busy and intimate, then put down the curtains, and then rarely showed up. Jeffery passed the boring time while watching.
Jeffery is actually not lonely. In addition to the nurse Stella who takes care of his sick life patiently every day, there is also a smart and beautiful girlfriend Lisa who loves him fanatically. Stella always complained that he didn't marry this almost perfect girl as soon as possible, and Lisa continued to launch gentle offensives, but Jeffrey, who considered herself loose and free, was a little worried about whether Lisa could get along with herself.
The salesman and his wife at the opposite window had another dispute. That night, Jeffery found that Mr. Sue walked out of the house with a big suitcase in the rain three times. The next day, Jeffery found that Mr. Su was wrapping the knife and saw blade. Mrs. Su also disappeared from her bed where she had been ill for a long time. The puppy kept digging in the flower bed downstairs, and everything disturbed Jeffrey. Lisa came, and noticed that Mr. Su was preparing a large box and took out the jewelry and ring from his wife's handbag. From this, the two people came to the conclusion that Mr. Su had killed and divided the body.
Jeffery asked an old friend who was a police officer to investigate the matter, but it turned out that Mrs. Su went to recuperate in another place, and the old friend mocked Jeffery and others' nervousness. The puppy was killed, and Jeffrey, Lisa, and Stella became nervous again. In order to find the true evidence, the two ladies decided to look for evidence themselves.
Lisa was stuck in the room while searching for evidence at Mr. Su's house. Jeffery called the police in time to save her from being murdered. She signaled to Jeffery that she had found evidence and the salesman knew that she was being monitored. Mr. Su quickly found Jeffery, and Jeffery, who had limited mobility, could only use flashing lights to protect himself in the dark, delaying time. When the two were fighting, the old friend arrived with Lisa and the police, but Jeffery still fell downstairs.
It's daytime again, Miss Lonely Fangxin is admiring his work in the composer's house, Mr. Su's residence is being repainted, another puppy appears, and the female dancer falls in love with a short soldier. Newlyweds still often hang curtains. Jeffery was sleeping soundly in a wheelchair with his back to the window, his legs in casts. Lisa sat quietly on the next bed, put down the novel contentedly, and picked up an advertising magazine.

    The fourth side (like the fourth wall of the theater stage) has only the residents of Stewart (only the audience can see the other three sides), S can/can not hear the sound (can/can't the audience hear the sound), and the role of S is just the audience A condensed carrier for gazing. Cinematic space-theater stage space.

Rear Window quotes

  • L.B. Jefferies: Who said they left then?

    Tom Doyle: Who left where?

    L.B. Jefferies: The Thorwalds at six o'clock in the morning yesterday.

    Tom Doyle: The building superintendant and two tennants in the building lobby. Flat out statements with no hesitation. The Thorwalds were on their way to the railroad station.

    L.B. Jefferies: Now Tom, how could anyone possible guess that? Did they have signs on their luggage saying 'Grand Central or Bust'?

    Tom Doyle: The superintenant met Thorwald when he came back. When he asked where he'd been, Mr. Thorwald told him that he took his wife to Grand Central Railroad Station and put her on a train for the country. See?

    L.B. Jefferies: I see. This superintenant must be a pretty bright guy. Have you checked his bank statements recently? See if he was paid off?

    Tom Doyle: [bewildered] Huh?

    L.B. Jefferies: Well, what good is his information? It's a second-hand version of an unsupported story by the murderer himself: Thorwald. Now, did anyone actually see the woman that Thorwald was with get on the train?

    Tom Doyle: Jeff, I hate to bring this up but this whole thing started because you said she was murdered. Now, did you or anyone else see Mrs. Thorwald being murdered?

  • L.B. Jefferies: All right, Doyle. I take it that you didn't find the trunk. And all of this is just some speech you made up at a policeman's ball!

    Tom Doyle: I found the trunk, a half an hour after I left here this morning. It was at Grand Central Station.

    Lisa Fremont: I suppose it's necessary for a man to tie up a trunk with heavy rope?

    Tom Doyle: If the lock is broken, yes.

    L.B. Jefferies: And what did you find inside the trunk? Surely no tomato paste to me?

    Tom Doyle: Mrs. Thorwald's clothes. Clean, well-packed, not stylish, but presentable.

    Lisa Fremont: Didn't you take them to the crime lab to have them examined?

    Tom Doyle: I re-packed them and sent them on their merry and legal way.

    L.B. Jefferies: Why would a woman who is going away for a short trip does she take everything that she owns?

    Tom Doyle: [glares at Lisa] Let's let the female psychologist answer that.

    Lisa Fremont: It's looks to me like she is never coming back.

    Tom Doyle: Now, that is known as a private family quarrel.

    L.B. Jefferies: All right, but if she was never coming back, why didn't he tell his landlord that? I'll tell you why Thorwald never told his landlord that his wife was never coming back. It's because he was hiding something in the apartment... or he still is.

    Tom Doyle: [stares at Lisa's overnight bag nearby] Do you tell your landlord everything?

    L.B. Jefferies: [embarassed] Uh... I told you to be careful, Tom.
