Very fine film, I saw it twice in the theatre when it first came out before I fully understood it. <br /><br />Your first is new to me but I'm intrigued. I've avoided Arrival because of my general allergy to Amy Adams. <br /><br />Besides Memento I went with two classics from Billy Wilder who used this storytelling device about as well as it could be done. <br /><br />Memento (2000)-Leonard (Guy Pearce) is tracking down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty however of locating his wife's killer is compounded by the fact that he suffers from a rare, untreatable form of memory loss. Although he can recall details of life before his accident Leonard cannot remember what happened fifteen minutes ago, where he's going, or why. His solution is to tattoo clues onto his body to arrive at the answer. Complex mystery begins at the end and works in fractured time lines throughout. <br /><br />Sunset Boulevard (1950)-As the film opens failed screenwriter Joe Gillis (William Holden) is found floating face down (but facing the audience) in the swimming pool of former film queen Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson). Harking back we then learn how things came to such a sorry pass. Brilliant, tragic, pitch black Billy Wilder masterpiece of broken dreams and dashed hopes with vivid performances from the entire cast and a dazzling iconic one by Swanson.<br /><br />Double Indemnity (1944)-Los Angeles insurance agent Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) stumbles into his office late one night with a bullet in his shoulder falls into his office chair and starts recording his confession for his boss and friend Barton Keyes (Edward G. Robinson). We then flashback to how his foolish involvement with the amoral, heartless Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck) lead to duplicity, deception and murder. Another Billy Wilder noir classic.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128401155527497521.post-19572996658086977662019-04-12T04:52:51.036+08:002019-04-12T04:52:51.036+08:00Arrival was a surprise to me.

It was nice to see a thought-provoking film about ET visitors.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="https://tossingitout.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out </a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128401155527497521.post-56181689214352948382019-04-12T04:08:07.028+08:002019-04-12T04:08:07.028+08:00I haven't seen your first pick but I loved the...I haven't seen your first pick but I loved the other two.
