Many movies aren't as good as some, but some are just as better as others. Many movies have a lot of similarities and others have not a lot of similarities. Take both of these movies for example. “Rear Window” was made in 1954, the movie was based around a violent man killing his wife, being watched by a neighbor who is handicap at the time. Disturbia, made in 2007 is about a man killing multiple people being brought into his house, with a younger person watching him from his house.
Disturbia, after his father's death, Kale Brecht becomes sullen, withdrawn, and troubled -- so much so that he finds himself under a court-ordered sentence of house arrest after a run in with the law. His mother, Julie, works night and day to support herself and her son, only to be met with indifference and lethargy. The walls of his house begin to close in on Kale. He becomes a voyeur as his interests turn outside the windows of his suburban home towards those of

"Jeff" Jeffries breaks his leg while getting an action shot at an auto race. Confined to his New York apartment, he spends his time looking out of the rear window observing the neighbors. He begins to suspect that a man across the courtyard may have murdered his wife. Jeff enlists the help of his high society fashion-consultant girlfriend Lisa Fremont and his visiting nurse Stella to investigate.
I do believe both movies are quite good. In fact both movies to me are subsequently different.
In both movies there are 2 characters that see someone or something get hurt or even killed, to me, the movie Disturbia was more graphic and realistic than Rear window, Disturbia showed a lot more blood and death then Rear Window, which just showed them arguing and then the girl was cut off and but into a box and if I do believe so, in Disturbia there were multiple girls and then they were stuff into a freezer or in a basement not quite sure. No matter what, both movies to me were quite
good. Both movies take place in a different time period. One as far back the ages before Dinosaurs were invented to the newer ages of the movie Disturbia. I think both movies showed a great role in a killing spree. Although Rear window was only one person then Disturbia showed the killing of multiple women. On the bright side of things, the actors in the fils were very different, the older man seeing it then the younger teenager seeing it. Both had a right hand women by there side to them and both played a role in the movie very well, I think that in Disturbia his newly founded girlfriend is kidnapped by the serial killer. Movies as such played a major role in the time period they came out. BUT the major thing that was dealt with these two movies was that people who watched and reviewed the movies said that they were stealing the idea to make another movie of Rear window, Disturbia was placed in a lawsuit and lost some money with this suit. I think in that in the end of the suit that there was a settlement and everything was fine and they let the movie Disturbia continue to play. In conclusion, after watching both movies, once in your class and the other have seen 2,443,443,443,000 times before both think that the movies themselves are masterpieces and believe that yes - there is a same plot, but not the same script, I like both of them and was glad I picked both of these to review.
This is my view on the movie and book. I likes the movie better the book because the
During the establishment of the film Jeffries clearly possesses the power in the relationship, with Lisa submitting to his needs and demands. The power begins to shift during the middle of the file as Lisa implements her ‘sex appeal’ and demonstrates her intelligence in an attempt to seduce Jeffries. Finally, when Lisa shows her sudden burst of bravery and adventure, Jeffries’ admiration for her grows and she becomes possessive the power within their relationship. At the beginning of the film Jeffries is represented as a caged lion, with a fierce personality, he is trapped as the result of a photography accident, which has left him with one leg in a plaster cast. At the end of the film, Jeffries had two plaster casts due to a further accident perpetrated by the murderer, suggesting now that he is more seriously involved with Lisa perhaps he has become even more trapped. This shift of power is confirmed when Lisa switches the travel book she is reading while Jeffries is awake to a fashion magazine which insinuates that she has the power and has him wrapped around her
The film, 'Rear Window' has an essence of 'urban isolation/ loneliness' in it. The entire film is made on one confined set. In the whole movie, the viewers can either see the apartment of the immobile protagonist, Jeff or the window views of his neighbors. With the idea of confined set, Hitchcock (director) showed the loneliness and urban isolation of Jeff. Due to his leg injury, Jeff can not go anywhere so he passes his time by peeping into his neighbors' life through his rear window and can see different stories going on in different apartments. Each apartment window is like a TV series for him, which he watches on a daily basis. This film shows the visual study of obsessive human curiosity.
...d coloring of certain images. The novel, however, puts much greater emphasis on the imagination and creativity, and on the main character Tita. The novel really makes the reader feel Titas pain and grow with her as she discovers her freedom, whereas the movie failed to achieve this. Moreover, the movie tends to ignore the significant of 3 integral motifs, cooking, tears and sensuality.
Rear Window directed by Alfred Hitchcock was an exceptional movie with a jaw- dropping 8.6 rating on IMDb’s website. The movie is about L. B. Jefferies (protagonist), who is a well-known photographer in a wheelchair.The lack of entertainment and extreme boredom caused Jeff (Jefferies) to stare out the rear window day and night. He eyed his neighbors through this window 24/7 and revolved his wheelchair season around their personal lives. As the movie goes on Jeff feels as if Lars Thorwald (antagonist) has murdered his sick wife. He knew they were an unhappy married couple already and had some unmistakable clues. In this series of events Jeff’s girlfriend who he thought to be too perfect for him and epicene turns out be a risk-taker and brave.
In conclusion, details involving the characters and symbolic meanings to objects are the factors that make the novel better than the movie. Leaving out aspects of the novel limits the viewer’s appreciation for the story. One may favor the film over the novel or vice versa, but that person will not overlook the intense work that went into the making of both. The film and novel have their similarities and differences, but both effectively communicate their meaning to the public.
Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 film Rear Window is truly a masterpiece, as it uses fascinating cinematic elements to carry the story and also convey the meaning of voyeurism. Throughout the film we are in one room, yet that does not limit the story. This causes the viewer to feel trapped, similar to the main character, while also adding suspense to the detective story. The opening scene itself, draws the viewer in. In just five minutes and 27 shots, the viewer is given an introduction to the main character, his lifestyle, his condition, and his neighborhood. The lighting, the costumes, and the set are all presented in a way to catch the viewers eye, compelling them to crave more. Combining vivid lighting, edgy cinematography, and unique set design, Rear Window, proves why Hitchcock is still remembered as one of the greatest and most influential directors of all time.

Have you ever watched a movie and been dissatisfied, because it was not similar to its book? There are multiple movies that seem as if they are their own story, for they don't resemble their book at all. For example, “The Pit and the Pendulum.” by Edgar Allen Poe. He, himself would not approve of the film that follows his story. For one thing, the storyline was no where near to being like his book. Another reasoning is that he wrote based of one man not multiple people. And finally, he wouldn’t of approved of the art on the walls in the room with the pit and pendulum. These are the reasonings of why Poe would not appreciate the film.
“Intelligence. Nothing has caused the human race so much trouble as intelligence,” says Stella from Rear Window. (Rear Window vs Disturbia, 1954 film Rear Window by Alfred Hitchcock and the 2007 film Disturbia by D.J. Caruso.) These two films will are addressing how the characters react in these situations due to isolation and the use of semiotic differences that each one expresses.
Overall, the movie and book have many differences and similarities, some more important than others. The story still is clear without many scenes from the book, but the movie would have more thought in it.
Film and literature are two media forms that are so closely related, that we often forget there is a distinction between them. We often just view the movie as an extension of the book because most movies are based on novels or short stories. Because we are accustomed to this sequence of production, first the novel, then the motion picture, we often find ourselves making value judgments about a movie, based upon our feelings on the novel. It is this overlapping of the creative processes that prevents us from seeing movies as distinct and separate art forms from the novels they are based on.
... and negative associations within the genre. Even with the obvious differences, both styles have borrowed concepts from the other, enriching each of their popularity in cinema.
Jeffries broken leg is a way in which his character is “castrated” as he is forced to relinquish his active role in the film and Lisa picks up this role as a way to continue the story and embrace masculine ideals that Jeffries admires which in turn earns her his favor.
