The most restrained black classic

The god-level classic of film noir, it is said that every shot can be written into a textbook. When I first saw it, I felt that the emotional lines of the characters were handled very modestly. The male protagonist's life and death to the female protagonist and the intertwining of love and hate on the screen were not vigorous enough, but thinking about it, it left more room for imagination. The male protagonist and the good base friend have a strong sense of CP, and the ending of the cigarette-lighting guest-guest relationship is very good; the light and the shadows cast by the blinds make the film always shrouded in the visual experience of alternating light and dark, this erratic is not the heart of the character 's image?

Watch once and marvel at Wilder's perfect script. An uncomplicated security deception story, or even the suspense was revealed at the beginning, but Wilder is too good at mobilizing the audience's emotions, the rhythm is steady, and the entire viewing process is filled with high-intensity dramatic tension and machine gun fire. The audience's intense concentration continued to the end. The size reversal is essential, and this is also his usual signature route, as well as the finishing touch...

It's pretty exciting, no reversal but suspenseful enough. The whole story, from the background, planning, implementation, etc. to the final truth, is narrated compactly and with a proper rhythm. In the end Phyllis said, "I didn’t realize I was in love with you until" I couldn’t shoot a second shot.” It’s even a little touched here that Billy Wilder, the god guide, could not violate and insert a love story in such a dark movie. The episode is really awesome. After watching it, I have always been trapped by the beauty of Barbara and Joan Heather, but what impressed me the most was that Mike Murray's matchstick was so handsome.

Walter Neff: Know why you couldn't figure this one, Keyes? I'll tell ya. 'Cause the guy you were looking for was too close. Right across the desk from ya.
Barton Keyes: Closer than that, Walter.
Walter Neff: I love you, too.

Walter Neff: It's just like the first time I came here, isn't it? We were talking about automobile insurance, only you were thinking about murder. And I was thinking about that anklet.
