Rear Window

L.B plays an outstanding character with limitations. Being limited to just a wheelchair due to a broken leg, he become curious of what is going around in this close and yet open neighborhood. He seen a variety of scenes from a dancing neighbor, to partying neighbors, to some neighbors who were privately having fun, to a neighbor who was desperate for a man, and just much more. His curiosity tuned him in along with the other characters, who at first thought he was crazy. He wanted the simple things in life but his girlfriend wanted more. As we view the different neighbors, some may say that each neighbor represented a life that L.B maybe wished for or would have liked to experience. he did not want to be in people's private lives but when something interesting attracts you, you can't help but to engage. Coming across a strange man, his intuition led him to solve a murder. "Why didn't you turn me in the first time?" L.B was asked before risking his life while being attacked by the murderer. L.B wanted to completely be in tuned til the end. He had to prove to himself before he could prove to others that his findings were correct. He knew that no one would believe him until his curiosity became less aggravating and more curious to others as well.
From the movie one could take that even when we do not want to be "nosey" or engaged in business that is not our own, we still tend to still unintentionally get involved. Robert Eberts makes it so profound in his review by saying that the very thing that we see takes control and grabs hold to us. Knowing that being nosey is wrong or at least a bit risky is one thing, but the wanting and yearning to be nosey is more dangerous. As for L.B he puts his life as well as his girlfriend and care giver's life on the line. Some may ask did he really mean for the others to get involved and put in such risky situations? But I ask did he really care of the risk while being so close to hard boiled evidence? Curiosity kills the Cat, depending on the situation.
