The Third Man
When viewing this picture what attracting me was the scenery. The ruins in my opinion signified the destruction of the friendship between Holly and Harry. Both men best of friends since childhood, looking out for each other as they grew up the drifted apart. Willing to go farther as to say their friendship took a downward spiral even before the drug situation and even Anna Schmidt. One willing to betray the other for a woman and the other willing to shoot to protect himself and his black market. This picture has one religious overtone that has been around for a very long time; betrayal over woman, money and power.

There's one thing that stuck with me after class on Tuesday. I still believe Anna was relieved that Harry is dead at the end of the movie. The first funeral, whatever the priest is offering for people to put on the casket - she ignores and turns to walk away and leave. This second funeral when he is really dead, she actually stays and accepts.
