Another pattern of the film noir is the urban setting which has dark and/or wet streets. Take for example the scene when Mike leaves for the bus station, for the flower box, the street outside his apartment is wet.
What might be rather bothering is the narration, the voice is not the most pleasant one, and some may find the information in it too much. But we can not ignore that it is an important to the film's structure, the description sounds like the narrator's a reporter looking back on the past events with objectivity.

Although in my view it does not stand up to a masterpiece like "A Clockwork Orange," although I admit is probably the best heist movie ever made.

But while most of us know the film for Charlton Heston's lean, pre-NRA president look or for the fact that it enjoys a cult standing among gay men of a certain age, very few of us have probably thought much about the real history that lies behind

Kubrick chooses a soundtrack which is both empty and banal yet also succeeds in emphasizing the loss of meaning and vacuity in what the young recruits have become. The director makes use of popular songs such as "These Boots

The audience is left to pout the pieces together so that we see a character do something and then se how it helps the next action lead to the desired conclusion. At the racetrack, with the announcement of the start of the fifth race, the film cuts to Johnny, in the
