Rear Window

Another Hitchcock classic with Jimmy Stewart. I was surprised that I didn't notice any color themes considering how prevalent they were in Vertigo, nonetheless the storytelling is engaging and innovative; the fact that all the action takes place within the apartment or can be seen from the window of the apartment. The audience is in the same position as James Stewart, stuck (presumably) seated inside the apartment and therefore with little agency over what is happening. The same plot has been used over and over in such modern pictures like the forgettable Suburbia, yet none have been able to reach the level of the original. I only give this four stars since Grace Kelly looks gorgeous, but I didn't really connect with her, and Stewart's character is just a bit of tool towards her for no reason.
