Other analysis centers on the relationship between Jeff and the other side of the apartment block, seeing it as a symbolic relationship between spectator and screen. Film theorist Mary Ann Doane has made the argument that Jeff, representing the audience, becomes obsessed with the screen, where a collection of storylines are played out. This line of analysis has often followed a feminist approach to interpreting the film. It is Doane who, using Freudian analysis to claim women spectators of a film become 'masculinized', pays close attention to Jeff's rather passive attitude to romance with the elegant Lisa, that is, until she crosses over from the spectator side to the screen, seeking out the wedding ring of Thorwald's murdered wife. It is only then that Jeff shows real passion for Lisa.
Further analysis into Jefferies character could also be interpreted as somewhat of a voyeur. Because of Jeff's sexual frustration with Lisa, he may look to other sources to fulfill his sexual need.

many many years ago - part I



The rules are clear. For a good group work don't sneak over other realities.
Concentrated in neutralizing yourself you will stay out from the nothing out there. The twelfth parallel before the present one and with one grade distance, is to be IGNORED.
Lets talk about parallelism gentlemen!
An animal that lives without any neutralized parasites - besides all, any and no obstacles - doesn't know about feelings.

(...)
I tried to expose with these two words (neutralism and parallelism)a way to present myself to my objectives, without the pressure of the unknown and the anxiety of what I know already. Dealing with the fact that we're not all prophets.

(...)
I will put together all the sketches and create one only. With all the immaturity, the insensibility and the mannerisms of my racional side, usual of someone who's not sensational.

many many years ago - part II



- P. Álvaro


- In the meanwhile I told him that I would kill you...did you believe it?

- Write down what I promise.
- Talking...
- Really Pedro.
- You don't get tired of repeating my name.
- It's a constant compulsion.
- Lying?
- Sure.
- Mister...?
- Shut the fuck up.

- Please, stay.
