I watched the film Double Indemnity. The built environment around the Dietrichson house is luxurious, they have a nice house and live in an upscale area with Spanish looking houses. Walters office is a more business like environment, his office overlooks all of the other desks on the lower floor. Dominance is shown when Walter can stand on the upper balcony and look down on all of the other employees at their desks below him, this shows that his job is slightly more important than theirs. Space can create different designs in the film by giving different feelings such as tension or relaxation. Tension can be felt when the men are talking about the murder in a smaller office with less space. While you get a more relaxed feel in the Dietrichson house with large rooms while they are having flirtatious conversation. I would say that metaphors, symbols, and messages are not specific to a time and place because they are more about representing an idea or point. You don’t have to see them in front of you to understand their meaning and the different things that they relate to. They can relate to more than just a single time or place, they can be used in many different ways and in various situations.
