Voyeurism and Fetishism

Typically when I think of these two words, its in a rather negative light. Someone who spies or someone who has sexual obsessions is not someone I want to associate with. However, Hayward makes us see these, particularly voyeurism, in different lights. After all, aren't we watching people, looking in on their lives, when we watch movies. We also fetishize the characters. Movies with romance plots, especially movies starring attractive actors and actresses, do well at the box office. We love fetishizing these people we don't know. Rear window is the prime example of Voyeurism. Though some good does come out of it, in the end, he decides to turn his back to the window, and focus on his own life.
