1944 Universal, Paramount's "Double Indemnity" The dark atmosphere of Hollywood crime films "is nothing in and of itself" can only be described with five surreal words: dreamy, bizarre, erotic, contradictory And cruel, and "Double Indemnity" seems to have achieved the highest level. "Double Indemnity" created a model for the film noir genre before film noir was formed. Anxiety, moral turpitude, and emotional repression all reflect the black core: decadent eroticism, shabby offices, Venetian blinds, heavy hats, trench coats and shoulder pads, flashbacks, subjective narratives, and a perfect black soundtrack. integrate. I'm more fascinated by Walter than the haunting heroine. If you watch this film carefully, you will find that Walter's seemingly crazy love is actually ruthless. Recommended reason: An addictive noir film

    Film noir, Chandler screenwriter, first person, femme fatale. Ankle chain. Murder smells of honeysuckle. The same-sex metaphor of burning a match and lighting a cigar. ——The truth was not found because the person was too close to you, only a table distance away. ——No, it's closer than that. Curious about the original train plan if he didn't happen to break his leg.

    Personally, I find it exciting and tense. The plot looks a bit vulgar after 60 years, but it was indeed a good work in that year.
