#the suicide by slow moving train rant? ‘straight down to the end of the line’ over and over??? ‘the guy you were looking for was too close.

Double Indemnity is so good like the first time you get the mystery and tension and “Oh my god how will this turn out,” and the second time you get to watch it knowing Walter Neff got shot and instead of fleeing the cops or going to a GD hospital, he drove 90 to work like an insane person and spent the next two hours bleeding out while recording an explanation-apology-confession to his beloved Barton Keyes.

#UNReAL behavior. and you get to rewatch and realize Keyes isn’t suspicious of Walter. he’s /terrified/ he’s involved. not only does he trust #him he loves him—he offers to take him out for martinis and celebration right after he finds evidence that makes him sure Walter didn’t kill #Dietrichson. because he’s /so/ happy and relieved. the ‘I love you too’ back and forth? the tragedy of it all??? #double indemnity #Keyes staying with him and lighting his cigarette - the silent ‘I love you’ the whole film? the last words in the film being ‘I love you #too?’ !!! incredible movie #so many banner moments #‘we’re both rotten.’ ‘only. you’re a little more rotten’ #the suicide by slow moving train rant? ‘straight down to the end of the line’ over and over??? ‘the guy you were looking for was too close. #right across the desk from you.’ ‘closer than that Walter.’ ‘yeah. I love you too.’ #GOD
