Title: More Composer: Mark Osborne Text Type: Short Film Date of Publication: 1998 Link to Text: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCeeTfsm8bk Synopsis: In a colourless world, a mechanic/inventor dreams of their childhood as being happy and playful. As an adult, he works for a harsh boss and never enjoys it. At night, he works by himself, inventing a goggle-like item that represents the memories he has and also to bring out the colour of the world.

The many Film Noir conventions through characters is seen in Double Indemnity. Walter Neff is an ordinary middle class businessman selling insurance. One day, he goes to the house of Phyllis Dietrichson where the two fall in love. They plot to get rid of Dietrichson’s husband using a doppelganger - Neff himself wears the same colored suit and pretends to be Mr. Dietrichson commiting suicide by jumping off a train after killing his lover’s husband himself. Another stylistic convention that double indemnity uses is the unpleasant weather.

They are successful in doing this by having Rick say numerous times, “I stick my neck out for nobody.” More evidence of Rick being a selfish man is showed when Rick is told about Victor Laszlo, a resistance leader who has escaped from a German concentration camp and has come to Casablanca to try to get to America. Rick explains that he has no particular "sympathy for the fox" and understands "the point of view of the hound too." Rick also tells the new Nazi commander, Major Strasser, “Your business is politics. Mine is running a saloon." This shows that Rick really does not care about any of the politics happening and he just wants to go about his own business.
