Kiss Me Deadly was an amazing example of Film Noir for our generation. In Kiss Me Deadly, the main character, Mike Hammer, is a Private Invesigator who gets pulled aside by a hithchiker which leads to a crazy chain of events. Eventually leading to what you can infer, his death. The reason this movie is such a good Film Noir is becuase it has all the elements that a great Film Noir should have. It is dark in its plot...as well as its lighting, it is black and white, and the movie itself unravels like a great film noir should.
Some great unique things about this film that other Noirs of its time didnt contain, were the multi-plot aspect of the movie. Most older film noir, and older movies in general are focused on one main point and never really deviate from it. This movie on the other hand, has the girl, the death, the box, what the box is for, who wants the box, the hithchikers "roomate". this movie is years ahead of its time in the plot and way it was developed. Also the imaganation of this movie, during the cold war, with the sci-fi part with the hot, (radioactive) box.
In all i really enjoyed this movie and hope i got the most out of it i could. It was a great example of film noir adding on from Double Indeminty.
