"Double Indemnity" does the opposite, and has the same effect as the novel "The Devotion of Suspect X" by Keigo Higashino I read last month. They all give you the answer first, and then give you the mystery behind the answer. Regardless of readers or moviegoers, at the beginning of contact with movies and novels, they read it with the interest of not being able to understand the unknown, but if you know the mystery from the beginning, if you want to attract readers and audiences, it will take a lot of effort. It's as big as Mr. Dongguo blowing a lot of love in front of you.
The film has been called the textbook of film noir. This kind of honor is like a lifetime achievement award in this movie genre. Someone concluded, "Film noir can be said to be a combination of American violence, German expressionist photography, and French existentialism." To understand the main word of black, you can guess it if you think about it. The most intuitive explanation is that the gloomy atmosphere in the movie is full of unpredictable changes and gloomy and terrifying scenes. Satisfying these basics is even Film noir, personal guess.
The film is based on the novel by James M. Cain, directed by Billy Wilder and Raymond Chandler, and directed by Billy Wilder. I haven't seen any of his previous films Movies, not familiar, but Raymond Chandler is still familiar. Haruki Murakami admires this writer very much, so I read his book "The Long Farewell" through Murakami's admiration, which is really good. So I know this movie because I opened the window of Haruki Murakami and saw Chandler, and then I learned about the movie through the window of Chandler. There are twists and turns in the middle, so sometimes I really think about it afterwards. Think of it as an afterthought that everything you have done before is to pave the way for the future.
The plot of the movie is as follows: Neff, who works in the insurance company, goes to Mr. Dickinson's house to renew his car insurance. It happens that Mr. Dickinson is not at home, and he is greeted by a very beautiful woman named Phyllis, she is Dickinson Mr. Kinson's second wife, she asked Neff to come back the next night. Unexpectedly, Neff returned to the company and received a message from her requesting to change the time. Neff came to Dickinson at the time she said. At home, how do you know that Mr. Dickinson "just happened" not at home. This time, Phyllis invited Neff to the living room to receive him. During the conversation, Phyllis revealed to Neff that she wanted to get compensation by buying accident insurance and then murdering Mr. Dickinson. The smart Neff replied, think not. Not long after that, Phyllis actually found Neff's house in person. Neff couldn't help her temptation and agreed to help her implement the plan of murdering Mr. Dickinson to defraud compensation, and proposed to let Mr. Dickinson die on the train. A plan to get double compensation of $100,000 (a rule at the time was double compensation in the event of an accident on the train). The two of them had everything planned, and only owed the east wind, but when they were about to implement, Mr. Dickinson accidentally broke his leg and their plan had to be put on hold. After waiting for the next opportunity, they carefully planned to kill Mr. Dickinson on the way to the train station, and Neff pretended to be Mr. Dickinson to take the train, and then jumped on the way, and then killed Mr. Dickinson. His body was placed on the rails, creating the illusion that he had accidentally stumbled and fell to his death. Just when they thought everything was done, this almost perfect plan was gradually discovered by the seasoned and witty Keith. With his strong sixth sense and personal intuition, Keith analyzed the whole story, saying that the case was a homicide rather than a suicide, suspecting that Phyllis did it and had accomplices. The only difference is that Keith found another conspirator with Phyllis, who was Donnie, the boyfriend of Mr. Dickinson's daughter Lola. At this time, Laura also found Neff and told him about her doubts about Duny, because Duny had been in contact with Phyllis recently, and mentioned that the death of her biological mother five years ago was related to Phyllis. This made Neff completely understand that he had been used by Phyllis all along. So he asks Phyllis to meet, and Phyllis also wants to get rid of Neff, she shoots Neff and hits Neff in the shoulder. But I don't know whether it was because she really fell in love with Neff at that moment or some other reason, she didn't continue to shoot. In the end, the Neff gun killed the femme fatale. In the end, Keith was informed of the entire murder by phone, and he died of blood loss.
After watching the movie, my deepest feeling is the human nature that can't stand the test. Those who don't believe in love in the first place will probably only exacerbate their thoughts if they read it. No one can deny that people are inherently selfish. The old saying that the birds in the same forest fly separately has a long history, and this can basically be attributed to the inescapable test of human nature. The reason why the little warmth in the calm and calm sometimes exists is only because it does not catch up with the magnificent background of the storm. But these arguments may only hold true in the eyes of a pessimist who always feels lost. The optimists in the east corner are more willing to believe that human beings are inherently good, and that Naif and Phyllis turned against each other only because their love motives were not pure enough at the beginning, and there is always a gap between what is reasonable and reality. Although there is always only one ending, there are thousands of interpretations of the ending.
After all, I haven't read the script, so I don't know which line in the movie is Billy Wilder and which line is Raymond Chandler, but the line in the play is a classic line in my opinion, I dare to be sure It must have come from Chandler: "Murder is never perfect, it's revealed sooner or later, and it's easier if two people are involved. They think it's twice as safe when two people are involved, when it's actually twenty times as dangerous. It's not like It's a train that can get off at different stops. They'll be stuck together until the end. It's a one-way ride, and the end is the grave."
