Opening Title Sequence of Film Noir.


Double Indemnity.


  • Based around (1950-1940).
  • All male cast.
  • Classy clothing and clean characters, main character wearing a suit.
  • Black people cleaning instead of white, showing that in them times people still believed white men and women were superior to black men and women.
  • General office workers looked down upon by wounded character to show he's in charge.
  • Wounded man showing signs of him being the strong silent type.
  • The man is driving a car which means high status. Especially since in them days cars were very expensive.
  • Alot of slang used to show gang potential.
  • Based in a big city, a good example would be New York City.
  • It's a rollover from silent movies.
  • The sound track is classical, so it's has a timeless sound track. An instrument for classical is piano.
  • Obsequious elevator attendant. Obsequious?
  • The male is a Juxtapostion of characteristics because he is scruffy and uses slang yet he has high status and is wealthy.
