It had alot of good lines of speeches of words that made them sound funny. the Double future of this film had good futures of want it had to offer to the crowd. When i was there I saw the character that were their like Mccuarry and the lady that play as the character of the femmale and it was a good experience watching a film for once that is different to me. then going to a theator that is of new generation. so i really enjoy going it made me laugh the character were really funny in the film and would like to come back again and watch another film there that is of film noir.

Blog Entry 8 of Noir

 I If I had to recommend a story from "The Method". I would chose "The Method". The reason why I would recommend “ The Method” is because the plot was more interesting. from the start of the beginning when I started reading I was  confused but as I continued to read then I stared to understand it way better the story was explainable, and gave detail were it took place,  the only down side of “The Method” is that the author used to much foul language and to much sex talk in my opinion I really don’t like those types but other then that the story was good. Like at the beginning of the story Richard played as a mysterious guy with Holly. Even though she felt for an older genteleman. she was still smart not to trust Richard. she figured it all out and instead of Killing Mariah the women that didn’t do anything wrong for she was not guilty, she kills the selfish man, that cant do his own things for him self and uses a girl to do his evil work . The more exiting part of the story was how things ended up   with Richard. He was killed with rat poison. He died as a rat that he was. “Morocco Junction 90210” was a good story also but to me it was a bit uninteresting. Not a lot was going on not that interesting.

the two face and which one compares!

 

          Vfemininity in light of deconstructed and reconstructed gender roles." Therefore, female characters have something else in their minds than being beautiful, treacherous, and being killed. They play to be alive with glory and money.
Lack of colors versus color films, predatory characters, and different budget are some of the descriptions of Classic Noir and Neo Noir, however the tale of the fisherman and the fish is the same, I think that later on we will see who is the fisherman and who is the preyS    
    


There are several differences between classic noir and neo noir films. Some of them can be that the classic noir was in black and white versus neo noir in color, noir films were created in the early '40s and associated with with World War II while neo noir movies were produced in the late 20th century. Obviously the scenarios changed, while noir has a lack of space, hotel rooms or urban streets, might because the budget. Neo noir is film in places with more room and its lines are

The incredible quote!

  The article, that I have read, the movie review of "Double Indemnity" is by Dennis Schwartz: "Ozus' World Movie Reviews", from the website sover.net. In the beginning, writer Dennis Schwartz, gives a nice description of the director/writer Billy Wilder and the whole unit including actors and actresses. He discusses about the strong acting power of actors, such as-MacMurray as Walter Neff, the protagonist of the story and another important male character played by Edward G. Robinson as Barton Keyes.
          Schwartz talks about the relationship between the MacMurray and Robinson characters. He also talks about the odd attraction that two killers(Phyllis Dietrichson played by Barbara Stanwyck and MacMurray) have- defines the dark atmosphere of the prewar Los Angeles scene. Reading this article, really helped me to understand the characters very well. Now I know, what is the reason of lack of love in the relationship of Mr. and Mrs. Dietrichson. According to Phyllis, Mr. Dietrichson has become a sullen man since he has lost a lot of money in oil investments. On the other hand, Mr. Dietrichson possible reason for not loving her is, she has such a coldness in her beauty, which pushes him away from her.  I probably will use this particular issue to explain the topic of my essay.
         I think amazed me after reading the article is, the best quote of the movie; which the writer used in his article. Since I have not seen the whole movie yet, I don't know exactly when MacMurray and Robinson have that conversation. It could be the scene before the last scene. When MacMurray confesses and tells the whole truth about his killing of Mr. Dietrichson; his last comments: "You know why you couldn't figure this one Keyes?" I'll tell you, "Because the guy you were looking for was too close--right across the desk from you." Keyes says, "Closer than that.

The Act were it going to End

The ending of reading the in chapter 14. I have discovered that their could be many different possibilitites of phyllis and watler Act to ending of the film in the chapter. Escaping from it all to another place, marry Phyllis, or even suicide!  On pg 113 Walter says, "Ive been thinking about something else.  Phyllis smiled then, the sadest smile you ever saw.  "I thought of the five patients" she said.  "The three little kids, Mrs. Nirdlinger, and myself.  It didn't seem possible that anybody that could be as nice as her when she wanted to be, could have done those things."  Walter then asks her, "What were you thinking about?"  Then Phyllis says "We could be married, Walter."  Walter replies, "We could be.  And then what?  The notion of the story was uncertainty surrounds them, bringing almost a desperation to which way they should retreat.  Then it started, started it again.  There is nothing ahead of us, is there Walter?"  "No.  Nothing" says Walter.  I  feel sadness and sorry for this "incredible duos."  But you know want they say, what goes around, comes around, and that is exactly what happened to them.  Walter and Phyllis's relationship started, and then ended just as quickly, the same.  For two unforbidden lovers, found themselves going separate ways at the end. that how it happen in want i read in this chapter of Double Idenmitiy.

The Relationship between Walter and Phyllis

There are females in the film of noir that either have dutieful, reliable and trustworthy. Mysterous duplicitous, double crossing, gorgeous, unloving, predatory, tough-sweet, unreliable, irresponsible, manipulative and desperate women"( From the website- Filmsite). These characteristics of femme fatale are perfect fit for Phyllis and walter.
The relationship between Walter, the insurance agent and Phyllis is an extra marital relationship. From the beginning, as a reader it's been a disgusting impact on my mind. The story getting more towards next move, it was predictable that, the illicit relationship of Walter and Phyllis is going to be together any moment.their base of relationship is so dismantle and sudden that it has to be ended with no useful suucessful action of the relationship.
           For the second part of action of the novel is really nocticeable. The description,of  the attitude of cruness and heartless murder of Mr. Nerdlinger gives readers nervous and scared want could happen next after this point. After reading the killing part of Mr. Nerdlinger, it seems that, Walter and Phyllis are equally morally corrupted. that, it gives the readers a sign wants going on. when Walter feels kind of cold about Phyllis. His conversation with Phyllis does not combine with their relationship. He seems to have a cautioness feeling which confirms, what he feels about not kissing Phyllis, neither he says goodbye when he leaves-"We didn't kiss. We didn't even say good-bye. I got out of her car, got in mine started and drove"(pg 53). This portion of the novel gives a clear indication of the seperation of two lovecouples.
         The thoughts, which were running through Walter's head is really speaking to the readers;that specially when he got home after killing Mr. Nerdlinger. He was feeling so restless about thinking of what horrible sin he has committed so far in crime seen and want he could be capitiable of next.
