Todorov's theory - 1 - Double Indemnity

Double Indemnity is a classic noir film.
This being said, it does not follow Todorov's theory in the sense of equilibrium, a disruption, recognition of the disruption, trying to fix the disruption and then the new equilibrium.
This is because double indemnity starts at the end, therefore starting with a new equilibrium and disrupting the theory.
Other than that, it generally follows the rest of the points so it follows the theory slightly.
