Miss A's music video was inspired by a classic

You know what I just realized? The beginning of Only You with the peeping tom, is a nod to the movie Rear Window (1954)

If you've seen it, you know it's a newsreporter who broke his leg, and to pass the boring hours in his apartment, he spies on his neighbors through the window. He examines their everyday lives and he gets all the tea about what's going on in the neighborhood, behind closed doors and outside. 

 

 
It's one of the classic films because of the way it was shot. And this music video is shot in the same way! You know with the panning frames; this was THE movie that made it a thing

 
I'm sorry I just figured this out lol and I'm spazzing because I took a videography class last year and we talked about it 

 

Here's the trailer

 

and then here's Miss A  :happy:

 

 

I recommend the movie too by the way, if you're ever bored

 

Slay, this is why it's slaying lol kbye

Eh... I think the director of Miss A's MV might have taken some stylistic cues from Rear Window, but I wish they went into more depth with it (there are a lot of interesting things to do with the voyeuristic aspect of the movie that they could have explored, but all they really had was the Peeping Tom character and even that idea wasn't quite fleshed out). 

The movie is great, though. Grace Kelly is an absolute dream, and Hitchcock is one of my favorite directors. Everyone should watch it!
