“The private detective is midway between lawful society and the underworld, walking on the brink, sometimes unscrupulous, but only putting himself at risk, fulfilling the requirements of his own code and of the genre as well. As if to counterbalance all this, the actual law breakers are more or less sympathetic figures. Of course, the old motto of the pre-War shorts from MGM, “Crime doesn’t pay,” is still the order of the day and there must be moral retribution. But the narrative is manipulated so that at times the movie-goer sympathizes, identifies with the criminals.” well it seems also in this chapter that I was reading were it talks about in book Double Idemnity there quote from page 18 on the top were it said "money" "you mean you would-betray your company, and help me do this, for me, and the money we could get out of it?" see you hear the matality of a criminal man thinking of a plan to betray his own company for the money. Its like the money sways the person to do bad and be wrong in want they do.
For this is my opinion in want i read and believe this is relevant in want i read.
Hey, thomas, my name is miguel, and I really like the way you presented the malice and evil that these charcater showed. also the important points that makes them commit this passional crimes, such ads the money, betrayal, and passions. on the other hand the quotes is good and it relates with the Mr. Huff because he puts himself at risk just for the love of a women, that he will soon start to reject. so keep it up man, great job...see you in class
