I find the main character in “Double Indemnity” was a bit to much full of himself. His passion for the femme fatales over power him to make the right decisions. Clearly he was over taken by the beauty of the female, but he went to far when he agreed to help her kill her husband. I had a feeling that the salesmen knew what the women was planning all along the moment he open his mouth about “accident insurance”. Just like all men who are fallen into their lust for a women, they are always blinded by whats right, and clearly follow what they think is best for themselves.

This topic on femme fatales could fall under historical context, because like all man in the past, present, and future. They are all bound to the fact that they want a beautiful women in their life, and will stop at nothing to get one. There were a lot of moments in the movie that the audience could figure out what was about to happen. Like for example when the salesmen told the women about the insurance you could get when someone close to you die: foreshadow the women plan in getting money quick, and being able to escape her boring life.

In my option the movie was an OK watch for me. Compare to the “Maltese Falcon”, they both share a similarity of persuasion: a women who convince a guy to help murder her husband for money and freedom – a detective who try to finds the truth about the murder of his partner, befriend his enemy. I find them both amazing, because of how the actors play their characters to portray their rolls in the story.
