Reaction to The Big Sleep

Throughly all the movies we seen so far in class, I've found The Big Sleep more appealing than the others. Reading the book I enjoyed the whole story of a private detective on a mission to complete his case no matter the circumstance. Marlow being the narrator you can tell that for a mere $25 a day he is willing to complete any task at hand. Being a detective he has no outside relations or family. You know he is a honest individual in a corrupt world. As we watched the movie I could already tell that he is the exact depiction of what is meant to be a detective. His white button down white along with the trench coat was exactly what I envisioned him to be. As he looked at the night in the beginning of the movie I believe he was looking at himself being that he comes in counter with death, robbery and murder. He is the individual who is there to save the day and bring justice to the world. Aside from all the crime I did find Marlow extremely funny. His sarcastic wit is what gets him all the woman which baffles me.
