Review of Rear Window

Rear Window (1954)
1/10
The ultimate blue ball
12 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
All the anticipation in the world comes to a catastrophic end, featuring cinema's worst killer

1. Thorwald is clever enough to come up with a scheme to successfully hide murdering his wife yet leaves his curtains open at all times whilst going about his activities

2. Thorwald kills the neighbour's dog then leaves it on the pavement? In front of the owner's house?

3. No one spots Jefferies for a second whilst he sits their for hours with a giant camera lens and a pair of binoculars staring at everyone all the time?

4. Thorwald must be the slowest man in the world, took him about a day and a half to walk 30 yards maximum to Jefferies' house

5. He is stopped by a camera bulb, can he not close his eyes? Has he never had his photo taken?

6. Tries to silence Jefferies by throwing him off a balcony whilst everyone in the neighbourhood is staring at him

7. A ring equals he murdered his wife apparently, not to mention Thorwald is a jewellery salesman, could've been anyone's ring

8. Once this whole event is over and done with people are still leaving their curtains/blinds open despite knowing the neighbourhood's friendly stalker is watching their every move

And that was only 8 things that I can think of, really one of the most stupid chain of events I've ever seen. Happy to see I'm not the only one who was utterly disappointed
