Rear Window(1954)

I have revisited Rear Window. I was struck by how much is going on, how much symbolism there is. All the windows across from James Stewart all have a different "mini-movie" going on. My audio commentary noted that Hitchcock started in silent movies and these are all like mini silent movies, especially the Miss Lonelyhearts, with her exagerated gestures. Fascinating, this demands multiple viewings to catch what all is happening, besides the main story of a murder possibly happening across the street, which would be a good movie by itself.
