Rear Window

After a long day at work, feeling overwhelmed, stressed and exhausted -- nothing better than Hitchcock and Chinese food. I always like Rear Window, there is a sweetness to it. A naivete. That capturing such contrived vignettes of people's lives can give you insight into them, that you can see depth. The depth just isn't there. Its never more than a pantomime on a Hollywood set. But that's what's so good and watchable about it. It never really makes you uncomfortable. You never feel like a voyeur. Because, in this movie, no one's privacy is invaded. Everyone is so clearly performing. And yet it works for me. Like Chinese food and miniature Milky Ways.
