Five years later and this still stands as one of the best, most succinct and informative mini documentaries on the subject on CZcams - make more!
Love the video!
What a great documentary explaining this. Film noir encompasses so many things.Not just the lighting style, but also the moody scenes, the realism with the conclusion that can be melancholy or unsatisfying. And neonoir which was revitalized in recent decades.
Great work putting this video together
Small correction - they weren't shooting with more "light sensitive sensors" - but with more light sensitive film stocks
A first person who explained the difference between gobo and cookie, superb!
Damn thats nice
damn you are nice
I found it
Indeed a very peculiar style in film industry

Well done. High concepts without any highbrow attitude. Thank you for your time and effort in producing and posting this.
Very cool and most informative documentary! Thanx, SaxNoirGuy
I think it's the theme from the third man
I really enjoyed all the movie clips and interesting information. Fast paced and very professional 👍
Well done my friend 🕵️♂️
Excellent! Prof. Dr. Dr. H. James Birx, New York USA
11:14 Double indemnity was made in 1944, not 1994. I know, it's a typo...
Can't hide a Lancashire accent. 😁
Fantastic doc!! Thank you!

This video is VERY well made. Thanks!
Film Noir is a style.
4:39 Light Sensitive Sensors? You mean film stock right?
Great story and edit! 👍
Great video!
Awesome video and explanation!

Outstanding video my friend, you deserve a thumbs up!

Grate explanation... Tribute
Mentioning that this was born out of B pictures is important and something a lot of younger people don't get. The studio system and how it was run is a big part of the genesis of Film Noir. Cheap films, B pictures, made from or inspired by cheap pulp fiction...
Film Noir, thematically might better be thought of as shades of grey, not black and white, with that separating it from just any black and white movie with a crime element most of which were simple morality tales or cautionary tales with admittedly some vicarious thrills for the audience but with at least the
gloss of it coming to no good end by the end of the picture by convention and code
at the time. The evil doer must get his or her comeuppance by the end of the film.
It's presented literally and figuratively as more black and white.
The temptation and fall, as an adult, by the typically male protagonist typically aided
by the femme fatale using all of a woman's weapons and the way that is highlighted
and shown as more morally grey, not black and white is part of what I see
as Film Noir. More moral ambiguity, more grey, more concern engendered
for our hero or antihero, our protagonist who is presented in a different way as is the world itself he inhabitants.
It's a more knowing, jaundiced, hard bitten and hard boiled look at the world not as we wish it to be but rather as it is...
"I know it when I see it."
Could you please provide the references of Music used in the video?
Why did Film-Noir end and what replaced it?
The music starting at 4:20 is the theme from Orson Welles' film "The Third Man" - I found it by asking Google assistant to identify the song for me.
Movies were escapism. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
Indeed not a bad thing!!!
World War II had ended and men went back to the movie theaters..
What movie is 0:44 from?
Sunset Boulevard!
Lurv it
The crime genre was already very popular before film noir with the gangster genre of the 30's, you ignored this genre completely, other than that it was a very well made documentary.
Gangster movies are not always noir movies, nor are private eye movies always noir. Just because crime is involved and fedoras are worn ... Bonnie and Clyde wasn't noir. Now Asphalt Jingle ......... !!
Very good. Always wondered how the got those shadow effects
I'm a film student looking for notes for a final essay in my Film Noir history class

yeah bro
@@lizardman7364 lol
Nobody refers to these films as "black films" . SMH
that is just the literal translation of film noir .. maybe used to avoid repetition in the narration. Same if you call Los Angeles the "city of angels".
Your history part (how noir came about) is plainly wrong in some points, e.g. TV *did not* increase the number of films noir! Ridiculous to say that. Consistent accuracy would not take much more effort. You can do better.
Nonsense! Of course it did. The video is great
Great video!
