So far the third noir film, the first is Diao Yinan's "The Party at Southern Station", the second is the originator "The Maltese Eagle", and the third is Billy Wilder's "Double Insurance". The former is a modern and contemporary work, and it is a local Chinese film, so the look and feel is not the same as the latter two. The setting of the characters in the latter two is also very similar. An ordinary but shrewd man and a beauty who seems to be simple but actually ferocious are involved in a murder case. Except that the male protagonist of "The Eagle of Malta" did not fall into the routine of losing his life, the other two No male protagonist can escape this common path in film noir. Needless to say, women are beautiful and mysterious, ferocious, betray men, and get huge indemnities, but not all have a good ending, such as this "Double Insurance". The common feature of the male protagonists is that they have touched the bottom line of morality and law, and tried to escape from sanctions, but eventually died in embarrassment. The audience, knowing that they have violated the law, is still unconsciously worried about the fate of him and the heroine. At this time, the film induces the audience to blur the boundaries of morality. And from the beginning, there is no suspense in the first-person crime record, which makes the application of Hollywood's first-person narrative method popular ~ The director and the screenwriter heard that they admired each other and contradicted each other, hahahaha, after the last two men lit a cigar Is the affectionate confession also an obscure attempt by gay men?
