The class sounds like it was informative while still being fun. I recently graduated, but I'm happy that classes like these are out there so that I can keep learning. "Suffering with style" is a great description of noir. JB mentioned in a previous podcast that James Ellroy famously said that you can sum up film noir in two words: you're fucked, so FTM has already given me two great summations of the genre. <br /><br />I took an American pop culture class this spring, and we briefly touched upon film noir and its larger historical context. My profession mentioned how the duality of film noir and Disneyland points to the prevailing message of the time, which was that the city was a dangerous and dirty place, with loose women who will lead you to damnation and where everyone has dubious morals and are only looking out for themselves. Plus, there are often scenes in ethnic neighborhoods like Little Italys and Chinatowns, which hint to the the looming specter of integration and civil rights, while suburbs like Anaheim offered orderly streets and white neighbors.

Hang that certificate proudly, Sir. Yo...Yay Heath! Hang that certificate proudly, Sir. You earned it! I love your comment, "I’ve learned more than I ever imagined, and all it cost me was my time." That's a great attitude to have toward film or life, if you ask me. I have also found it true that, more often than not, the more I really learn about something, the less tired of it I become.

Noir is a genre that should be with us for a long time, and if the numbers are any indication, it is still appealing to many people.<br /><br />It's also crazy to know there's a noir author/expert out there who shares my last name (it's not a hugely common one), so THAT'S pretty cool, too!AJ Mullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06987730338809078456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-13872804501350454782015-08-13T11:23:52.529-05:002015-08-13T11:23:52.529-05:00I also took part in the course and I really enjoye...I also took part in the course and I really enjoyed it. It was fun to revisit some of my favorite noirs with a fresh perspective (like Kiss Me Deadly and The Maltese Falcon) and also discover some great films for the first time (Gun Crazy and Detour are two that stand out). I'd definitely take part in something like this again. It's great to learn more about the context of film. It helps enrich the viewing experience while also helping you connect with people who are into the same types of films you are.Michael DiBellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08181008088703996870noreply@blogger.com
