Kiss Me Deadly was one of the first movies to try to incorporate color into a film noir. Kiss Me Deadly is about a man named Hammer who picks up a girl on the side of the road. This girl turns out to be involved in serious stuff, which is why she is captured, tortured, and killed by men in black suits. After this woman was killed Hammer feels obligated to find out who did this to her and why.
I found the movie to be very interesting, not in a good way though. I felt that the film was a downward spiral of plot and bad acting. The ending to the movie emphasized the poor quality of the film. I don’t mean to ruin the end of the movie for you but in order for me to critique on it I need to tell you the logistics. Besides I don’t think that you would want to see this movie. Well, in the end everyone dies after the box containing nuclear explosives is opened. This might sound cool but it is most definitely not. In one of the endings which were used as the primary ending today, Hammer and Velda get out of the burning house before it falls to the ground. While they are in the house and trying to get away from the house, there is a “wawawawawa” sound. It sounds just like static or white noise. This noise goes on for at least two minutes and by then you can’t take the noise any longer. After I watched this ending I proceeded to watch the original ending. This ending was a drastic improvement. The original ending showed Hammer and Velda burning in the house along with the girl that opened up the box. The most important difference though was that the “wawawawawa” was shortened to a mere 30 seconds.
