Question #1
It is apparent that the "Noir" style has been and still is an inspiration for several topics. Although the original style and concept of the genre has changed in a negative manner, it still inspired many works.
It mainly originated throughout Europe and the influences from the Nazi's and the heartless, dark experiences people saw them do. Which fully explains the emotional sense of noir.
Film Noir has a different approach on imagery. It is very dark and gloomy. The title itself defines to "Black Film" in French. It was also turned into basically a lifestyle. With clothes in dark shades, music, movies and so on. It seems that most of the remakes in the genre have failed to impress the original content. Maybe for a Film Noir movie to exceed, it depends on the history and knowledge of such angst in the director. The article claims that the movie, "Chinatown", was depicted the best of Film Noir in its time, which was directed by Roman Palanski, who had lived through the holocaust and knows of such darkness and strong vivid images of terror.
I definitely had no idea, or ever heard anything about Film Noir. It has been washed out and not brought back. But it seems that in the article it really has been lost, it says that the dark and dirty fun gets lost in the recent films. The authenticity of the genre has been brought down by the interests of the new generation today.
Hopefully i'll find the time to see one of these original dark films and find some interest to them.
