    Billy Wilder's first noir film, Raymond Chandler's first screenwriting, the atmosphere and shots are perfect, but the plot arrangement is still a little bit poor, and it is called "the most typical noir film" It feels a bit overrated. Still, in the more than 20 years before "Bonnie and Clyde," Neff and Phyllis were indeed Hollywood's most famous...

    Really watching this for Valentine's Day. . . Don't have a flavor. Compared with the novel, the film's bridge design is more delicate, and it also retains the kind of blackness that is engulfed by fate. This intertwining of temptation and abyss, desire and betrayal transcends curiosity, showing a kind of anxiety that goes deep and backfires step by step. , shapes the standard template of human tragedy in capturing our...

    Guessed it was a game, so I have been waiting for the final reversal, but it seems to be a squib, which is slightly worse than the later prosecution...

    The insurer is committed to deceiving the behavior of insurance fraud, but this kind of thing has been done for a long time, the routine is too familiar, and suddenly I wonder if I can successfully defraud the insurance. There are twists and turns, but the twists and turns are a bit sloppy. // 2022.2.21 After reading James M. Kane's original book, I got four liters and five stars. I think the script was adapted very well, cut off a lot of unnecessary plots and emotions, and the image of the...

    Absolutely the best script I've ever seen. There is not the slightest loophole, the only loopholes are very deliberate, and they are revealed step by step in the aftermath. In modern times, fingerprint clues can unravel an entire movie, but they also make it impossible to add to it. (Before watching, I always wanted to say that no sex scene was a flaw, but it turned out to be one of the important proofs of the whole conspiracy.) Impeccable, my personal favorite is greater than "The Witness for...

    A very good suspense and reasoning film. It was absolutely genius to be able to design such a method at that time, and such a ripped-off reasoning also made many novels and movies after the filming develop according to this...

    3.5. The logic of most Hollywood noirs is still American Dream. It’s just that in the extension of the American dream, personal struggles and failures after struggle have become a fate worthy of admiration and recollection. And why he struggles, for example, why the male protagonist easily falls into the trap of the female protagonist, it doesn't really matter, the important thing is that he is always in action. At least as far as "Double Indemnity" is concerned, it is a tragedy but has nothing...

    Hitchcock published an advertisement in the newspaper shortly after the movie was released in response to some people's criticism: "Since "Double Indemnity", the two most important words in Hollywood are Billy Wilder. Today I finally saw Billy. Wilder is no less than Hitchcock's in this type of Noir film. I was jerked to tears by the last...

    "Double Indemnity" - This is not a car to kindergarten

    Although they are all works by Billy Wilder, after watching "The Witness for the Prosecution", I always feel that there is no more awesome work than this, and I don't want "Double Indemnity" to be comparable to it. It is also a father-killing drama in which a wife colluded with her lover. "The...
