Alfred Hitchcock is widely considered to be one of the greatest movie directors of all time. I found his movies to be quite boring. This doesn't take away from his credentials of being a great director because he lacked the technology and money to make a film that would be popular these days. Analyzing his films, it is easy to see why he is considered an expert producer. He is able to use suspense to get people interested. Out of all the movies we watched, I thought Rear Window was the least boring although I would never waste my time watching it if it wasn't in school. The movie kept me slightly interested because of Hitchcock's use of suspense.
Rear Window was able to keep me awake and slightly interested because Hitchcock gave an interesting perspective on human nature. Having a broken leg in that day and age before XBox's were in existence would leave you stuck in the stone age. It was very interesting to see what what the guy decided to do with his free time. He ended up spying on a murder; whether he was invading people's privacy or not is for you to decide. The suspence of him catching the murderer combined with his love life with his desperate girlfriend made the story worth following. This movie produced today, would be comparable to the great motion picture Disturbia. With the same money and technology, it would be debatable which movie would be more thrilling.
