Hitchcock - Truman - 4th Art Event

The Truman Show is much like Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, which examines how curiousity overpowers any right a person thinks they have to privacy.The commonalities of the directors in these movies is how the dirctors try to pull you in to the moive as if you were one of the actors in the moive who was spying on the charcters in the movies. Its the strongest commonalities of the two films.Voyeurism is the sexual interest in or practice of spying on people engaged in intimate behaviors, such as undressing, sexual activity, or other activity usually considered to be of a private nature.  Voyeurism can take several forms, but its principal characteristic is that the voyeur does not normally relate directly with the subject of their interest, who is often unaware of being observed.
