Hi. I'm just gonna share some of my thoughts about what is going on in the movie we are currently watching, Out of the Past.
So far, it has been an interesting movie. It certainly lives up to its film noir genre classification, with its extensive use of smoking, shadows, and a partly urban environment. Though, I was at one point a bit confused when the really long flashback was occurring, I didn't realize it was a flashback at first. I guess I must of phased out or went brain dead for a moment when that was being established, though it does make sense now since they had that voice over narration during it. I like the fast paced, responding with a question style dialogue that is heavily featured, its a bit different than what I am used to and I like it. I am also a bit confused about the relationship between the secretary and Jeff, because when they first met it seemed like they did not know each other at all, yet a little bit later on they acted as though they had known each other for a while.
Overall, my first impressions of the movie are good and I look forward to see what happens next.
