this book is a great comparative example to the movie Brazil, because of the way the government is always out spying on you. with the police force in the book and in the film Brazil, there is no where to hide from the government as your movement is always being watch. To go against the government mean that you will disappear from the earth. doing anything that is not right will have consequences as cameras is a tool the government used to spy on you.

like any other film noir. in the book 1984. the protagonist falls for a femme fatales like the protagonist in Brazil. yet its always the femme filale that makes the men do crazy things. the protagonist in 1984 and Brazil went against the government just so they could fulfilled their desire in trying to find out more on their femme fatales.

Set in a dark urban city where danger is around every corner. The protagonist of this story is set on helping a bunch of crooks get rich by robbing a bank full of diamonds. the corruption of power had them all greedy for wealth as they want to pull a heist to filled their needs. nothing goes well for any of them as people where dieing left to right, while others were caught and place in jail. people were double cross and bad luck was upon them.

As the protagonist remember his past of an old farm out in the country side. his dieing wish was to go back there for one last time as he die trying, after being shot multiple times. this film is a great film noir that shows the corruption of power in men that can lead to a big twist of betrayal. i find this film the most confusing one yet, because some part of it was just confusing to me. The lighting and camera angles in the film was good as it capture the big scene of the robbery and betrayal.

I know we didn’t watch this with the professor, but ill say that this movie was good, but a bit confusing at my part since i didn’t understand it. the story was base on a detective finding the truth of who this woman was. as the detective progress farther on in his work he knew that something was wrong. the discovery that this woman was actually the daughter and her sister of the femme fiale was a big shock to me. this could only mean that the femme filale was rape by her father at a very young age, and a old creepy guy was the favor of the town who supported the water to help save the town.

the detective couldn’t do anything but help the woman and daughter/sister escape the old creep, but as they were trying to run away. The old creep shot and killed her own daughter just so he could gain custody of his own daughter.

This film is a about a retire detective coming back to do one last case, to help solve a mysterious crime which was done by these androids. as the film goes on. the detective fall for this femme fatales who is one of the reaming 5 androids that are still alive in his time. the detective is question again and again by the people around, and what got me the most was when the femme fatales ask the protagonist if he had taken the same test as she did. this brought question to me that maybe…just maybe the protagonist is an android too.

there was a scene near the end of the film before the big masculine android killed himself.. he said”quite an experience to live in fear. That what is mean to live as a slave” this was a big review that somehow the protagonist is indeed an android. i feel like the whole movie was about living freely among humans even if you are an AI (artificial intelligent). There was another quote that made me think why the androids want to live freely among human, it was when the girl android said “I think, there for I am” this give life that android are no different than human.

this film was about this idiot protagonist who is trying to find his femme fatales that he created in his utopia fantasy. when he discover a familiar face only he knew. his desperation came out and try everything in his power to get near her. the government or the ministry kept their eye on you at all times. even if you make a mistake and dial the wrong number on the phone. they will come and check it out, even is it mean destroying your life. cameras are place almost every where as a way for the government to keep an eye on you. every little detail must be run by the government and they decide almost on everything.

As a way for the protagonist to get what he want in life. he had to accept his promoting that his mother got for him and move to a place he doesn’t like. in my own opinion, i find the protagonist a bit pathetic as he desperately try to get near this girl who doesn’t want anything to do with him.

Now this movie was a really great watch for me, because finally there is some action to film noir. the story is around this old boxer call stoker who believe that he could win his fights with just one lucky punch, but as it turn out he got more than he thought he could handled. the whole fight scene was nothing but a “set up” for stoker to lose the fight so some guy could remain famous. stoker crossed the line when he decided to win the fight rather than lose, so after the fight and every body left the ring. stoker was jump by a group of tugs who broke his fits so he could never box again.i find it cruel that people would go so far just to get even with someone.

stoker wife was a bit to much in the film ill say. she just wants the best for herself: just want stoker to stop what he love doing. an act of selfishness got what she wanted at the end of the film. when stoker got jump and lost the ability to box again, and the quote the got to me the most was when stoker wife said that now they could be happy. its like she didn’t even care what happen to him at all.

this film was a bit strange for me to understand, because of how the film goes back and forth with different characters, but i do find some parts of the film interesting. like how the protagonist of the film is helping a ex-con find his girlfriend was something a twist in film noir. you don’t really see a good person now a days helping a bad person who could man handle you at any given time, yet Phill the protagonist still deiced to help him. like all film noir in any movie the protagonist fall for the femme fatales, and this time its his client girlfriend.

the lighting in this film is great when it capture the whole scene when phill was caught and was drug. this too happen in another film noir “The Maltese Falcon” when the protagonist was drug by his enemy to find the truth. the environment of the film was set in a big dark urban city where you know something shady is going to happen.

This film was a very interesting watch for me, because it show how easily a femme fatales can manipulate a good kind person in to doing something he regret. With just a good sad story about how her life is being treated badly by her husband, she can make anyone feel sorry for her. The lone wolf detective(Jeff) had to help this client find this beauty, only he started to fall for her. Both of them started to make plans to escape the town, but Jeff morality stopped him, and at the end when they were trying to leave town. Jeff deiced to kill them both, because of how much trouble they got them self in.

i’ll say that this film had me up around corners something with its mystery plot, because im not really a fan out black and white film, but this had me wanting to see more. the way the characters manipulate one another felt so real as if it feel like it could happen in real life. when Katy(femme fatales) told her husband about Jeff, i thought to myself that this person shouldn’t even be save. also the way she persuade Jeff in to helping her was a big mind blown for me. just thinking how could a person do such a thing to another and still want to be save show how a femme fatales is a very dangerous person in all film noir.

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.

I find the movie “The Maltese Falcon” an interesting piece of work. The atmosphere of the movie set the mood on how characters will act depending on the situation. You could also say that the sounds plays an important roll as well, like in the scene when Mr. Spade was being tag by an anomalous stranger. The camera angels are by far the most typical thing anyone would notice in any movie: when it zooms in or out on something interesting, like an important person talking or the death of someone.

Detective Spade could be describe in many ways in the movie, but I would say that he’s a bit over dramatic when it comes down to persecuting his enemy’s. Surly he is your everyday typical detective who has style and class with the ladies, but his persistent in finding the truth about the killer was to much. Spade has a great personalty that allow him to make friends really quick. His clever idea  as a detective plays a good roll as a way to befriend his enemy’s to gain some sort of knowledge against them: playing the typical good cop bad cop is an example in any detective genre. Spade in my opinion have great relationships with everyone in the movie, because he always know how to take charge of a situation and turn it to his favor.

I find old classic movies boring, but ” Maltese Falcon” was a good watch. The film was filled with a lot of great convention like drama, action, mystery also the suspense in the film was great. I never like how they talk so fast in classic movies. It makes hearing them really hard, as well as the mumbles.
