Film Noir in disguise

After reading the article, "The Neo-Noir 90's" I came to understand what the original Film Noir entailed. This made me understand that movies I have seen like L A Confidential, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and The Usual Suspects were not just a simple movie, but a certain type of movie. This style of movies and even television series are being disguised constantly in our era. It seems that there is always a dark side to the plot and even to the protagonist. We see him trying to do good by trying to save the world or whatever the goal is, but he has his own way of doing things. Never following the rules, always taking chances, and even causing collateral damage. It's the only way he knows how to get things done. I can understand why most viewers would not accept the original Film Noir. The world of film is full of color and action. Without these elements, even a good plot would be slow and probably not hold one's attention. So they hide it in films like The Dark Knight, Kill Bill, all the vampire movies, and saving the world types from aliens.You can even find Neo-Noir on television in series such as, V, where the femme fatale role is trying to save the world and her son from the Visitors who have plans to repopulate the world with a hybrid of humans and aliens. Others include series such as, Detroit 1-8-7, Southland, Nikita, and The Vampire Diaries. What regular person would know or suspect that they were watching a version of Neo-Noir? All they know is the the movie or series are filled with suspense, action, mystery, terror, and death. And in all of these cases the heroes have to do whatever they can to accomplish their goals, even if it means innocent people have to suffer. As the article stated, Neo-Noir is still out there, it is just being disguised.
