its been a long time since I watched it but I just never really found there was anything overly notable about it, felt pretty average to me, and the ending was played as super serious but made me burst out laughing.
I was pretty shocked to learn about its apparent significance. im interested in sharing why people like it so much
The most significant part of the film is the opening sequence. Since they used a digital oscilloscope to create the patterns it's technically the first film ever to use CGI.
I'd go so far as to say Rear Window is his best film.
The Rear Window circlejerk is so tired. Earlier efforts like Rope and Strangers on a Train mog it, let alone something as polished as Vertigo or as avant-garde as Psycho
Rope does the whole one room play thing in a more interesting way, more philosophical meat to chew on, severely underestimated performance by Jimmy Stewart, as well as incorporates the artistry of an entire film being shot in one take. Mogs Rear Window as much as I love Grace Kelly.

I don't hate it but I dislike jimmy being in unhappy movies. He's not bad in it I just don't enjoy him being sad.
Harvey is a better jimmy movie. He's happy in that one.
It's a gigantic flaw of Hitchwiener that almost every one of his movies has to include a scene where characters recap the plot >Vertigo
Midge and Scottie in the car, the inquest >Psycho
Last 10 minutes >North by Northwest
Conference room where unrelated characters discuss what Thornhill is doing >Strangers on a Train
Farley Granger on the phone with his wife
Might as well complain about 100% of movies created for a mainstream audience then. Just because something might have some kind of underlying formula that you can point out and "deconstruct" doesn't automatically make it bad. There is a reason people credit him the way they do.

I don't recall any other movies being so in-your-face about it.

Off the top of my head
You're all moronic.
Is Stewart the protagonist in Rope? Otherwise i'm not interested
Kim Novak is miscast and wrecks the movie. I don't believe the plot or their relationship for a second. It needed Grace Kelly.
It's technically well made. Great music, great photography, great sets.
I don't. Why do you like that movie?

>this response is supposed to give off the impression that you actually saw the film in question
You didn't watch the movie, you fricking liar lol
yes I did, is this the best cope you can come up with?
reading the cliff notes isnt the same as watching the actual thing anon
lol I sincerely cant imagine what has gotten you this booty-blasted

It's very mediocre, like Citizen Kane. Psycho and Rear Window are leagues better
Even Hitch would bow to Citizen Kane for a cinematic debut picture by a 24 year old. I'm sure he never spoke out against Welles.

Vertigo is complete pseud trash, Psycho is kino of the highest order and Rear Window is excellent

He's the Jungian MacGuffin
*ruins Psycho*
I've never seen it
I only really know about it because of that one Faith no more music video
North by Northwest is better
The main character is pretty fricked up. I mean even before the main plot starts.
That's why it's superior to everything else Hitchwiener did since.
I don't hate it, but it was too grotesque for me. The characters' self-destruction made me feel sick.
It's a sick movie for sure. The only "good" character is Midge and her situation doesn't change by the film's end.
Jimmy Stewart is too tan in it, looks like a demon
No one actually legitimately hates this movie it's all pretend

Liar

It's proto-Lynchian kino. morons ITT will never have the cultural context to understand.
Get a lod of this MEDIA LITERACY homosexual.
Yeah I just raped you with it good job picking up on my meta-meme working of you, mark
Because it's completely nonsensical and a waste of time. I can just look outside if I want to see pretty pictures of cities
I didnt like the ending
>Lemme stop in the middle of the movie and have the character explain the plot by sitting down and writing a letter
Fricking hack
None of that ruined anything.

To you, maybe. He does the exact same as far back as The Lodger. This is simple auteur theory.
>clunky expository scenes for moronic audiences is just his trademark bro
Cmon. They don't improve the quality of his movies.

More or less.
It's very good, but critics rate it too high. Not even the best Hitchwiener movie.
I love it. One of my first exposures to real kino.
why didn't he just use the Epley maneuver? It's easy, takes just a few minutes, and gets rid of your vertigo for months, maybe even years?
its an OK movie that is carried by the music. I will never understand it to be the best movie ever made.
Don't hate it but:
the friend with glasses slows it down
there's no humor
seems too long
>there's no humor
American moment
>Statement without substantiation
You moment
>psycho better than Vertigo
lmao anyway this is his best
Dummy falling past window
I love this movie, it's one of my favourites
