Black and white film noir movie, starts with a dark and mysterious figure.
The shadow of the hat is covering the mans face. He walks into the dark room where only moonlight is softly brightening up the figure. The mans turns on the lamp, he sat in the chair and lit the cigarette as he recorded the story of his crime. He killed for money and a women - didn't get either.
But I'm not here to write the whole story of Double Indemnity. The point of this is to describe the the key objectives of film noir that Double Indemnity has. As film noir is usually know to be a Hollywood crime dramas it means it obviously will involve killing. Also a very important point in the film is how powerful the women are. As soon as the beautiful women walks into the room you can tell her domination and power over the man, as he became polite and couldn't stop smiling. He did not dare to look away as she was speaking.
The woman is seductive and flirty but also sly. Whereas the man, as soon as he left the door he was thinking about her and every little detail of her like for example: her perfume, ring. They both knew it wasn't the end of them. It was just a beginning. They planned a crime together to kill the woman's husband and at the same time get accident insurance on him to have the money. Seems like a perfect crime. They missed out few details the the insurance
company might consider. It became hard for them to contact each other as they didn't want to get caught. The last night of them ever seeing each other ended up with death. The man came over to his beloved's house. She was proudly sitting on the arm chair, smoking a cigarette. The only thing the man didn't know was that she hid a gun under a cushion of her hair. When he was shutting the windows she shot him in his shoulder, but she didn't not have courage to shoot again. The man slowly walked over to her and grabbed a gun from her hand he said "Goodbye" to her and killed her. That's when he made his way to the office to record the story. As he was leaving, he fell by the door and lit the last cigarette.
The are many differences between Sin City and Double Indemnity. One and I think most powerful difference is how women are treated in both movies. Sin City sees women as an sexual object, they are not respected, beaten by men and violent. In Double Indemnity they're dominating and seductive. They have power over the men. There are some characteristics in Sin City which have colors like red lipstick/dress/sky, blonde hair, yellow character. Whereas Double Indemnity is only in black and white.
