When it comes to storytelling, few can compare to Billy Wilder

Few people can compare to Billy Wilder when it comes to storytelling, or he wouldn't be one of my three favorite directors. The suspenseful design has been maintained until the end, and the lines are all super good. The male protagonist's ankle is the most powerful. Not only is the sixth sense of wisdom scary, but the lines are also full of punchlines. caught me. The details of the plot are also worth pondering in many places, and there are also embarrassing things at the end, such as not firing a second shot, preventing my daughter's friend from entering the door, and so on. However, the ending is a little disappointing, and I still don't like this kind of positive ending.

Double Indemnity quotes

  • Walter Neff: I was thinking about that dame upstairs, and the way she had looked at me, and I wanted to see her again, close, without that silly staircase between us.

  • Barton Keyes: This Dietrichson business. It's murder. And murders don't come any neater. As fancy a piece of homicide as anyone ever ran into. Smart, tricky, almost perfect. But... I think papa has it all figured out. Figured out and wrapped up in tissue paper with... pink ribbons on it.
