After reading "The Neo-Noir 90's" that I found on
ebscohost, I understood that neo noir is not just a genre of cinema but it was
a movement that was begun during the era of tranquility. Neo noir can be
described as a tribute to the darkness that looms within society. I found it
interesting that neo noir began during the time when there was "tranquil
waters". After reading further, that curiosity of why is extinguished the
reason is because during time of stress, "the depression is an example
that is used" they would produce films that induced a feeling of escape or
patriotism. I began this article with a vague understanding of the subject that
is neo noir. Now I know that films that I enjoy like "Who Framed Roger
Rabbit" and "Blade Runner". Considering that the movement is
full of the consciousness of a segment of society. I am certain that immersing
myself in this subject will also help me to understand the manner in which to
better understand people. This is a very positive result because I am attending
the college in order to receive a doctorate in abnormal psychology. In addition
to being enlightened on what Noir is defined as, I discovered that this
movement is still current in today's society. It appears that neo noirs has
found a home inside many people who desire to take a peek into the abyss of
fears, pain, corruption and destruction that the movie companies are portraying
inside movie theaters. On a side note, it interested me to see what the fashion
of neo noir is and I would like to say that it's not bad and I am considering
trying some out. Not to say that I am becoming "doom and gloom “person as
the article states.
