Two Neo Noir

Blade Runner

Blade Runner was made in 1982, its director is Ridley Scott, it was written by Hampton Fancher and David Webb Peoples. Blade Runner is set in the future 2019 in Los Angeles, it has tried to keep the urban set like Film Noirs by keeping it in a urban area like L.A. Also keeps the main character as a cop or a character like you would have in a film noir. He’s a worn out tired cop who wants out of the force but is drawn back when ‘4 skin jobs’(replicants) hack a ship back to Earth, he’s no normal cop you would get in a Film Noir though he’s a cop who specialises in terminating replicants. He’s a Blade Runner.Deckard is a typical film noir anti-hero, he drinks too much, a loner and mistrusts authorities. There are also some Femme fatales Rachael, Pris and Zhora could be portrayed as a femme fatale. Even the props, Deckard uses a trench coat and a gun of course he wears the hat as well. The plot could be taken in as a film noir plot as well because Deckard is assigned a awful mission, falls in love with a dangerous woman and then realises he’s been deceived.
