Montage and Pure Cinema: Rear Window

I think the comparison between Jeff and the viewer is fair. Since the viewer sees everything that Jeff sees, we are essentially in the same position that he is, of course we don't have to worry about being seen staring into someone else's house. Often times I do feel uncomfortable seeing certain scenes in a movie. Sometimes I ask myself "Do I really need to see this?", and I feel slightly intrusive looking at scenes into the personal lives of the characters.
