The movie I have chosen Rear Window is about a man who is stuck in a wheelchair and decides to spend his time looking out his window. When looking out the window he starts to spy on what people are doing. While looking out his window he watches many different people live their lives. When people come over to his house he constantly talks about what he sees. He starts watching this man and his wife. After watching them for awhile he realizes the wife is no longer in the apartment and that the man is acting suspicious. He puts all the clues together and tries to figure out what happened. So he keeps on spying on the apartment they live in and tries to see for sure if he did indeed kill his wife.
I cannot really say how the movie relates to NYC for the fact that it is filmed with one kind of view in such a small area. I wouldn’t be able to say that it is definitely based around a New York area or not because it doesn’t show the city at all. I would have to base everything on characters, their actions and objects alone.
In this movie we do not really see NYC. In Rear Window New York City is not shown at all. One of the characters is a young woman who is a dancer. She gets dressed up in her dress, heeled shoes and pearl jewelry and goes out. If she does not go out she has a little get together in her apartment. Another man who has a piano in his living room also has parties in his apartment. It portrays a lot of city aspects in the movie, such as the ‘night life’ and people are always walking around outside. There are little things like seeing children playing hopscotch on the sidewalk. You see the reflection of street lights on. The men are always dressed up in suits. There is a character that is a woman who plants and sun-bathes in her backyard. There isn’t even a lot of communication between people who live in the same building.
