Neo Noir - A Genre (Draft)

Neo Noir is practically the same as Film Noir but the main differences are that the themes, settings, visual elements, props are all updated to the modern day. The main principles are still there:

• Main Protagonist is a detective or police officer or an Anti-Hero, does good but not in the law's good books.
• Main Antagonist is a drug dealer, black market arms dealer, anything related to illegal activity to contrast with detective/police.
• Femme Fatale, is a very beautiful sexual woman normally used by the Antagonist or for herself to lure the protagonist and break him down using love and lust.

These are all updated like a more modern style of dress, modern guns, modern settings. It started to happen with directors in the 1970s when they felt like the genre would appeal to audiences more if they made it more believable by updating to the current generation.
