Burn Baby Burn

Kiss me deadly was interesting.... I'm noticing a pattern in these film noir movies, the main character is always invincible. Hammer does unthinkable grotesque things. So grotesque that in one of the scenes in the shed near the pool, the enemy is so scared that he runs away leaving his fallen comrade. This is why the ending they showed first didn't make sense. Mike Hammer can't die, watching him throughout the whole movie your rooting for him to solve the case. But when you see him die you are automatically disappointed. This is why in my opinion the ending they later dubbed as the true ending works better for the cinema. Why? Well thats simple because Mike hammer escapes with his bittie even after being first drugged then burned and if that wasn't enough shot in the gut.

Noir Elements in Out of the Past

Out of the past is considered a typical noir film. A lot of the elements that make up a noir film are in this cinema. One that is easily noticed is the black and white color of the movie. This helps with the whole lighting aspect of the movie because dark and light are easily contrasted. Another element that is easily noticed is the narration of the movie. This really helps you think what the main character is thinking, so you know what his/her thought process is which brings great insight to the movie. The last main element would have to be the detective character, like in any other noir movie there is a independent agent (detective) who is mysterious, manly, and very intelligent. Those are just the main film noir elements that I have noticed there are also a lot of minor elements such as the smoking, seductive female, etc. That really categorize a noir film, in this movie Out of the Past. This is why Out of the Past is considered a noir classic.

Eternal Sunshine Of the Spotless Mind

A confusing movie with deep meaning. This movie talks a lot about how important memories are to human beings. This is one of those movies you watch twice to fully comprehend whats happening. One of the themes in this movie is that memories never truly vanish from your mind. Although Joel and Clementine both erase there memories, Joel and Clementine both somehow remember to go the beach. Where they meet again, and fall in love once again. I also think that this means you can never completely forget about something thats important to you. Overall I thought this movie was great.

His Girl Friday

His girl Friday is supposed to be a romantic comedy, i beg to differ. The story did little to interest me. One of the biggest problems I had with the movie was that there dialogue was way to fast to comprehend. If you missed one little comment then you didn't understand what was going on. Because they would talk really fast and then in the middle of it say something really important if you missed that party then you missed the whole conversation. I do see some humor in the movie though, but it came too little to late. The fat guy that talks about his wife was the funniest character in the movie. When that character appeared I was more drawn into the movie. Although His girl Friday is considered a classic I just don’t think the people now would think so because we are use to different types of humor.
