noir at its best

NOIR can be described as a dark depiction of some of our crime infested society today. the visual aspect of Noir was largely inspired by Germans and Austrians. In World War 2 people found noir to be an interesting and entertaining way of escape during a time of depression and war.
The style of noir originated from authors such as Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett and Chain. Noir was once a genre of films that was widely watched and fallowed now the style only appeals to a certain type of audience. Such as film students, critics and most ardent and generally up scale film enthusiast. (the arts) A large amount of the audience has decreased mostly in, my opinion, because of color TV. Being that noir was mostly black and white films the aspect of color would change the dark side of the noir flavor.
Some of the styles from noir do remain in a nice amount of are films today. A consist style associated with noir was rain-slicked, fogbound, menacing; the heroes deracinated and weary ; the women ambiguous, sexy and treacherous. (the arts) Many of these elements can be found in films today. “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” depicts a great amount of these elements throughout the film. Some of the movie was shown in black and with the style of dress from the noir films were also incorporated as well as an ambiguous sexy woman.
Noir to me means a society over come by evil and dark deeds of those who lacked a way of living a normal life so they went to a life of crime and violence. Noir a style of films originated in the 40’s, can still shine some light on some of gloomy doomy dangers faced today.
