My Manifesto Duh Duh Duh...

Film Noir

"Sunset Blvd." and "Mulholland Drive" embody the film genre noir through the use of cynical attitudes, sexual connotations/implications and sleek camera movements. In "Sunset Blvd.", the actress Gloria Swanson tries to reclaim her success as an actress since her downfall in Silent Film. In the beginning of the film she is portrayed as a fierce and independent woman who gives in to the writers needs and wants who finds himself in her house. Since the writer was in trouble with the law it was his opportunity to forget about the scandal and help the woman reclaim success in Hollywood while earning money. Her mannerisms, personality, and the overall plot of the story display the noir genre. "Sunset Blvd.", being an older film, emphasizes a timeless quality through a black and white filter. "Mulholland Drive" is a newer rendition of the classic noir film "Sunset Blvd" and although in color, features similar crime scene sequences. In "Mulholland Drive", the plot unravels as Laura Elena Harring finds herself at the house of a well known actress Rita Hayworth. Just like "Sunset Blvd." money is involved and mystery dissipates. Both films represent similar classic Hollywood themes within their plots.I believe that film noir has affected the new media landscape by adding subtle qualities such as carefully scripted crime scenes in the TV show madmen.
Some integrated Noir aesthetics are its promiscuous references, 50's mystery, and crime. The show although produced in modern times incorporates much of the noir style. Since there are different censoring laws now within television productions, the show can be even more aggressive and take the genre further.
