Double Indemnity

Double Indemnity

Directed by Billy Wilder

Review by Aurora, Wang Yi

            This is a classical movie during the time of WWII. This movie comes up with darkness and cruelness. It tells a story about Walter helped Phyllis kill her husband to get double indemnity. At first, I think this movie may just be a story about conspiracy. Later, I find this is a movie on humanity.

            Wilder use flashback to let Walter tell the audiences what happened in the past. This movie want to tell us nothing is impossible, humanity is complex and greedy is sin. Nowadays, people may think these are boring because they already know about that, but for 1940s, it is a modern one.

            Somebody told me that movie is time period. I did not very understand before, but now I understand. WWII is dark and cruel. It is a time period for different humanity. Many people pain and gain in the war. They do not know what will happen in the future. They think the ending will become what they want, but they forget nothing is impossible.

             All in all, this is a good movie to watch. I give 5/5.
