why don't compare how the genre has changed from the 40's to now. you can break sections up first act 40-50s and the movies that were part of the genre, the mickly spalanes. the detective genre. the gangsta

to what film noir represents today, and the splinter faction of momemnto and partially tarrantino etc...

what film noir is the generations it spans, and the cultural and theatrical pulse it has with the generations.

it went from the romantic to the cult. chart the genesis to present day, usual suspects

camp fear 1962
camp fear 1991
china town
who shot roger robit (animation noir)
cool world
blood simple
sunset bolevard 70s
grifters 80
body heat
lady from shanghai
touch of evil

the subgenres of noir.

etc....

Im writing about the profound impact German Expressionism had on Noir and without it, noir would have never been. Ive got 5 pages and i have nothing else to say :(

Write five pages about what a boring-assed assignment that is.

Could try and take up space by talking about specific films w/ examples.

Or putting it up to size 13 currior... now im at 10 pages. Hehe. But i ended up talking mostly about Expressionism and not so much Noir. But i guess my point is they are very similar and withouht Expressism there would be no noir.

I would if it wasnt like 40% of my final grade.

So after writing this thing and learning about expressionism, i think we are heading towards a new wave of expressionism. It probably wont happen until wwIII but a lot of the thoughts and feelings of the artistic and inteligent american public are similar to those of the Germans post WWI. EEEk.

you know what they say about learning.... it's like getting a 'hummer' you know, one of those four wheel vehicles. during that time there's nothing more important, until five minutes later when you realize anyone with a mouth and nice set of balloons can make you think you invented bread.

I remember my uncle was named skip, wanted to be skip, until i realzied as a man, nobody wants the name skip.

you want to know why noboyd listens to people until they are five years out of school,cause you don't know shaite until you apply it in the world you live in against the sharks.
