Film Noir

Film noir deals with mostly black and white movies. They have a lot to do with crime. People who you would be innocent turn out to be the villains. They use shadows to draw your attention to certain details. They are not about the happy ending. They show the depressing part of life. The things we think can never happen to us. It has to do with the dangers in life. The things we do not see coming are way. It deals with the things that go on in our mind that we would not tend to say out loud or to act on. We see the corruption in the world. It rebels against authority. It left behind the 50’s style. Leave It to Beaver and Happy Days were a thing of the past. No more perfect families. It showed the faults that were in the world. It showed people that you might not truly know someone as well as you thought you did. It deals with drinking and smoking. It taught the world to go against society. Do what you want to do and do not conform to the way society wants you to be. Be an individual and not a follower. There was no clear good side or bad side. Sunny skies were not in the forecast. The women not as innocent as June Cleaver. Long skirts and button up blouses were a thing of the past. Buckle your seat belts the road is filled with twist and turns and a few bumps in the road.
