  act one: a beautifully euphoric cinderella story

  act two: hilarious, yet highly anxiety-inducing manhunt

  act three: devastating comedown ; snap back to working class reality 

  Baker’s endings always haunt me for me days on end but this one in particular is just so tragically moving

  Rear Window 1954

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 28 Aug 2024 2

  first two-thirds of this film is best summed up as an endearing relationship drama with an odd neighborhood murder mystery subplot 

  final third ramps up to something entirely unique in the form of a highly suspenseful, meta voyeuristic thriller
