Best summation I've heard.
Being on the board of directors of the film noir foundation doesn't hurt either. I would've expected top-notch analysis and got it . Thanks.
TRULY exceptional.
Thank you.
No better summation anywhere else.
From the start, crime, greed, lust would have been a repressed part of their lives, which is why the characters are not prepared to deal with them once they become manifest, unpredictably!
TRUTH -- "noirs" from the forties to the late 1950s.
One of the best definitions! So many confusing essays, but you cut through the fog! Brilliant.
Just watched "Vicki" on DVD with Professor Hirsch"s commentary. Best DVD commentary I've heard. Even better than Roger Ebert on Dark City. If you want to learn the possibilities in making a film, Don't miss Vicki.
Thnk you .. very helpful for new filmmakers like me, your videos are best and I guess you need more Subs and views. Thank you once again
The movie network labels all kinds of things as noir that arecnot. Cry Wolf for example. A Gothic Romance thriller mystery.
Pretty sure my Professor used this video to help pick films for his syllabus. Cheers
Well spoken
Yes, I agree with most of this analysis. But I wonder what it is about the role of the 40s , as a decade, that contributed to the genre. America, recently recovering from the lawless 20s - something about the way people spoke and the size of the cars - something about the, "You are on your own, buddy," that characterized a recently immigrated population on a huge land mass, inside a 'sink or swim' capitalist economy. Something about all this that helped to create the noir genre. What do you reckon?
@John Graham Wilson , an excerpt from 'A Companion to Film Noir' by Andrew Spicer!
"Porfirio argues that conceptualizing noir as a movement, though it raises problems, enables discussion to be grounded in the analysis of a real material context, examining how specific conditions in the American film industry were transformed by the impact of both external (mainly German) émigrés and internal, domestic émigrés (those involved with the Popular Front). Film noir thus became a way in which both groups could register their profound dissatisfaction with Hollywood studio practices and with current American values, which, in turn, can be related to a more widespread response to broader traumatic sociopolitical conditions: the Depression, World War II, and the Red Scare, though always strongly mediated by the film industry where effects are delayed or oblique."
@@Fidddle2Pie hi Fidddle2pie, Sure and doubtless also connected with McCarthyism, blacklisting, and so on. Noir has the ability to inject social realism into a movie - the world of lesser incomes and the demimondaine. Interesting how few movies there are on The Depression and its consequences, though, I really like the not-so-noir Ironweed which gained a popular appeal.
@@johngrahamwilson1649 i haven't seen Ironweed. Thanks for the recommendation!
@@Fidddle2Pie Ironweed (1987) Has Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep in it. Pretty good on Depression social realism. Send me a link to your favourite Noir movie and we can chat about it. With kind regards, John
@@johngrahamwilson1649 to be honest I think noir as a genre is pretty cool but I haven't actually watched any 1940s noir movies. I think the neo-noir film Bound is pretty interesting but mostly because the TH-cam channel 'Now You See It' made a whole video essay on how great it was haha. I don't have a link unfortunately
Ah yesss... I too, love ScareFace
THE KILLER INSIDE ME.... so dark that the 1950s Texas sun couldn't penetrate.
Thanks, this info makes for some good research for me as I development by next episodes, not sure either of mine so far would qualify based on your comments, so back to the drawing board! th-cam.com/video/8A2xMdMPaUs/w-d-xo.html and 2nd effort th-cam.com/video/GiB2NHY-VRo/w-d-xo.html
