Lit Log - Rear Window

Rear Window is a movie about a man who is stuck in a wheelchair looking out his window with his binoculars and camera to watch his neighbors try and cure his boardem. While doing this, he bears witness to a murder. To me, I liked the movie a lot because of the implications of how spying on people may or may not be the right thing to do even being justified or not. I changed the title to “Neighborhood Watch” for two reasons. My first reason is because of what the main character does in a literal sense but my second reason is because of the true definition of Neighborhood Watch is a group of civilians keeping watch to protect their neighborhood and seeing how the main character caught a murderer in his neighborhood and got the murderer arrested. I would advertise this movie by saying it’s kind of a “boy who cried wolf” situation, meaning the main character keeps on telling his detective friend that his neighbor is a murderer but he keeps on going against it last second. I really wouldn’t change the genre of the film because I feel like it goes well with the plot. The choice I made for the poster was a camera peeking through blinds, bending them in the process. I made this choice because, in the film, the main character used his camera to spy on people but he also was being a sneak while looking out the window.
