Standard film noir, standard Hollywood, standard male film, how I eat this set!

If you follow the technique of "Save the Cat" you learned a while ago, you can summarize it in one sentence: an ordinary insurance salesman was lured by a femme fatale and killed his husband. Love, murder, the transformation of ordinary people, the "survival crisis", and the rebellion of children in adolescence, these stories have almost touched all the points of human nature. I believe that this kind of plot still has a large audience today, which is the same as love, the routine is the routine, but it is easy to use, not to mention that it is composed of Chandler and James M-Kane ("The postman always rings the bell twice "The screenwriter of ") What did you do?

Film noir can be said to be a combination of American violence themes, German expressionist photography style and French existentialism. The dark streets and dark bars were filled with smoke, and the grid-like shadows formed by the shutters hit Neffy's hesitant face. The temptation of beauty and the test of conscience both tortured him. Convention is the first-person flashback method commonly used in film noir. The last cigarette echoes the cigarettes of Neffy in the film. The mistake will eventually be punished. This is one of the very few non-reunion endings in Hollywood.

From the German expressionism to film noir at the beginning, to Hitchcock’s suspense film and the later violent aesthetic "Sin City", this path has developed so much with my appetite. I thought about it and I was probably straightforward. Male.

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.
