Double Indemnity- blog#3

And the darkness is  over ..... I never would have guessed how the story was to end. The only part I guessed was that Phyllis Nirdlinger would try to kill Walter , but would succeed. I did not expect him to survive.I never suspected Walter would fall for Lola Nirdlinger either. I just can't believe all the turn of events that went on, this story would make such a good soap opera on TV , it would blow " Days of our lives" out of the water. I actually had to go back and read the ending twice because I had a hard time believing and understanding the ending. I'm still a little confused so did they kill themselves? From what I understood they made plans of suicide by jumping off the the stern of the ship into shark infested waters.

I think the ending couldn't have been better, 2 murderers left alone together to pretty much punish themselves as they have no future. The 2 people who at one point had this strong romantic passion built out of greed and the need to kill who then in a blink of an eye switched to hate are now left to end there paths together . How this came to be is what still shocks me this whole time Beniamino Sachetti Lola's secret boyfriend was the detective , the guy who was barely even spoken about in the movie or the film is who was doing all the work not to mention sleeping with the enemy . Sachetti in my eyes did a great job of investigating the truth.  I mean if the femme fatale herself let him in after she was against Lola seeing him then he did a very good Job of hiding his ulterior motive and pursuing her. He made the moves on the daughter Lola to get to Phyllis but at the same time truly loved Lola but was willing to do whatever he had to do get to Phyllis and uncover the truth. Even if that meant hurting the love of his life .

Sachetti may not have broken any laws but he did play the part of the hero who did anything to uncover the truth about Phyllis and if she truly was responsible for the death of his father, 3 children and Mr. And Mrs. Nirdlinger . In the end all his hard work paid off he got the girl and killers got what they deserve .

Keyes I think made a good Decision of letting Walter go as well as Phyllis, I would rather see them be miserable in there last hours together and see them plan there deaths  then to just take the easy way out like going to jail. I personally prefer the story book ending over he film. I think Walter and Phyllis are both evenly responsible for there own actions an both should suffer. Phyllis the evil dark women with the need to kill and Walter the lonely easily manipulated business man together at last , well I guess it's safe to say Walter got his women, kind of.
