Kiss Me Deadly?
Kiss Me Deadly is the ultimate film noir? Ya right! This movie from beginning to end was too unrealistic and frankly rather weird. The girl from the beginning of the movie seemed to have a whole different plot than the rest of the movie. Also, what was the heavy breathing from her all about? That was too weird. Mike Hammer was another story. He went around slapping people to get information out of them, which actually may have been the bright spot in the movie because how hilarious it was. The build up to the entire movie ended in a glowing box of doom. A glowing box of doom?! Inside the glowing box of doom was a ball of fire? How disappointing is that! We wait the whole movie for this secret box and its a mystical thing. After that I didn't care for either ending. If i chose one it would be the one where they died because it made me feel better that no one survived. Mike Hammer and Velda didn't deserve to survive the glowing ball of fire. Also, this ending provided more closure to me as it left the idea that nothing would survive all the explosions kept increasing. Maybe this was just the primitive idea to nuclear destruction, though, a glowing ball of fire is all the writers came up with? I was disappointed to say the least. In my view, Kiss Me Deadly was not the ultimate film noir, not at all.
