Film Club | May 9
HIGH SCHOOL ONLY – Come too room 112 THIS Thu., May 9 at 3:30 p.m. to enjoy the Alfred Hitchcock classic “Rear Window” (1954) starring Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly! “Rear Window” follows a photographer confined to a wheelchair following an accident who gets caught up in the lives of his neighbors in the apartments across the street, and fears that one of them may have murdered his own wife. It is an excellent introduction to Alfred Hitchcock, the “Master of Suspense,” who can make the most mundane actions seem threatening and intense. Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly were two of the greatest film starts of their day. Run-time is 1hr 52 minutes.
While this movie is rated PG-13 it is intended for adults. Hitchcock’s whole genius is in creating high levels of tension in otherwise ordinary circumstances. There are also a few scenes that JH students may lack the maturity to process. Parents are advised to review the IMBD parental guide which explains in detail any scenes that might be too much for younger audiences.
