Watching the movie "Double Indemnity" today
In 1944, directed by Billy Wilder, a film noir classic. In simple terms, the story tells the story of a wife and her lover who conspired to murder her husband and defraud him.
The two best parts of the film are the play and the identity of the film noir.
The play adopts flashbacks and flashbacks, and the story is slowly unfolded from the confession of the male protagonist, and the film finally returns to the present time and space to explain the final fate of the characters. Incentive event: The male protagonist who sells insurance is attracted by the wife who complains about her husband, and then after a few beats, he begins to plan an insurance fraud plan with his wife. At this time, the first scene ends at the 30th minute of the film. Character arc: The male protagonist grew up from a sedate and charming insurance salesman to become an accomplice because he liked his blond wife, planned a murder, and finally turned into a fringe character who escaped and killed his favorite blond wife. For a moment, the desperado who repented in the friend's message, and then died in front of his friend because of his injuries, the ending can also be regarded as a kind of redemption.
Film noir is a type of film that mainly describes violence, crime, and scenes that mostly take place at night. The shooting technique is influenced by German Expressionism, with extremely contrasting lighting, exaggerated composition, and long shadows.
The most famous film noir in China recently is "The Party at Southern Station". The suspense in the play progressed step by step, and it gave me the impression that it was very similar to Hitchcock's movies, without the slightest logical error, and also the protagonist with a lot of lines. However, in the era of decades ago, the language of film was also avant-garde.
It can be roughly said that a good movie should have a small amount of lines and monologues, and a lot of information and characters, all relying on pictures, vision, hearing, and appealing to the audience. Return to the ontology and tell stories with pictures.
