The audience is also an accomplice to the murder

Every time I watch a noir movie, I feel like I killed people. When Neff is anxious, I am almost as anxious as he is =

people are really gambling, and when the dark heart is sneaking around, it is really almost childish- "I think it's so perfect, I'm really itchy if I don't try it." The best insurance salesman can't help but want to defraud insurance himself, and when he tells his colleagues, he is almost proving himself... Each of us longs for a sense of accomplishment, for recognition and recognition, and many success stories come from the protagonist. Confident "I can do it" and prove it. It's just that after being too successful, people get bored easily, especially smart people like Neff. When the sense of accomplishment is obtained by doing evil, the protagonist is still struggling between the conversion of good and evil, but he can't resist. Has his sense of justice finally returned? Then why do you say 4 hours to escape the border. I don't understand this.


In the end, he had a way to get off the trolley car. Why did he want to meet a woman at 11 o'clock? I thought he was in true love and wanted to remind a woman, but he was almost killed by a woman. Z, who could have been a scapegoat and sent away, did he think Z was worthy of Lora? Anyway, I didn't understand the ending.


The wig is nothing, the key to the bug is that the shot in the elbow turned into the shoulder. This gang is too low-level, how can a classic film make such a mistake. And Neff still has a ring on his hand when he kisses a woman. How could the actor forget to take it off? So unprofessional.



However, the film is still good-looking, or a classic. Still five points.

    [2] Billy Wilder's awesomeness lies in the fact that under the premise that the audience knows the ending at the beginning, there will still be new suspense to guide the audience to watch and see that there will be a new climax in the end.

    Pushing all the sins of temptation to the femme fatale, what hides deep is the confusion and anxiety of men about unpredictable women: men finally play the role of introspection, regain their conscience, and vicious women will die under lynching . "I didn't know the smell of murder was like honeysuckle," Lao Qian said was still extremely beautiful. The last sentence "closer than that" and "I love you too", old money, met the real gay at Dazhi.
