Welcome to the official home of The Other Brothers! Academy of Art Animation Notes. Peg Bar and Grill. The Theatre. Animation World Network. Hitchcock’s "Rear Window," Recut Into An Amazing Panoramic View. Rear Window is, in my book, Hitchcock’s best film. It hooks you in immediately, trapped in the same sense of voyeuristic helplessness as Jimmy Stewart’s wheelchair-bound character who finds himself the witness to a murder in his own backyard. It’s also a film that draws much of its suspense from limited perspective--shots cropped by a telephoto lens, tiny snippets of isolated characters going about their days. So what would happen if someone came in and showed us the whole scene at once? How would the story change? _ I, pet goat II. Chris Cunningham.
