The most restrained black classic

The god-level classic of film noir, it is said that every shot can be written into a textbook. When I first saw it, I felt that the emotional lines of the characters were handled very modestly. The male protagonist's life and death to the female protagonist and the intertwining of love and hate on the screen were not vigorous enough, but thinking about it, it left more room for imagination. The male protagonist and the good base friend have a strong sense of CP, and the ending of the cigarette-lighting guest-guest relationship is very good; the light and the shadows cast by the blinds make the film always shrouded in the visual experience of alternating light and dark, this erratic is not the heart of the character 's image?

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 to do with fate.

9.0 He leaned back in his chair, facing the tape recorder, as if he was not talking about this perfect murder, but about the unforgettable love given to him by the femme fatale he shouldn't have fallen in love with. Raymond Chandler, James Caan and Billy Wilder's screenplay is full of punch, and it's brilliant. I read the beginning and guessed the ending. When I think about it, I always feel that the male protagonist's low, gloomy, cold but emotional voice came from my throat.
