A movie or sitcoms can be great with their story revolving a single background setting when the characters and the space they inhabit interacts back and forth. Everyone who has ever moved out of their parents house knew this. Seeing empty spaces in their new or temporary home, their eyes are constantly reminded of possibilities of what it can be: a plain wall, an empty corner, crass sunlight coming from the window--they're blank canvases for the production team to go wild with once they know what kind of characters in the story be running about
Another point about the restricted location in Rear Window is losing control of the outside world. Stewart's character is a man of adventure and action whose world has shrunk to his living room after breaking his leg. All he can do is voyeurize, even when Kelly's character is in the murderer's apartment. In any other circumstance he'd run over and save the day, but here there's nothing he can do but watch.
intro jumpscared me I thought you were sleeping
Love the vibe booms. You such a goofy goober. Keep up the good work!
The Titan submersible implosion story would be a good example of a logical reason for using only one location, albeit a short story.
Interesting video
