One Hour Photo

This movie is about a weird photo guy Sy Parrish(played by Robin Williams). Sy tries to escape his solitary and monotonous job by observing and admiring the family photos of Yorkins. Slowly this admiration turns into a dangerous obsession. And this obsession jeopardizes his career and he loses his job. Throughout the movie Sy tries to get closer to the Yorkins in a desperate manner. We can observe this when he tries to get a gift for little Jake or when he tries to get closer to Mrs Yorkins by trying to read the same book as Mrs Yorkins does. But this never really happens due to standoffish nature of the society. For those who like psychologically stimulating thrillers this mus be a good watch.
