Sin City-Modern Day Film Noir

Since the genre that we are now studying is "noir", my blog should be about either film, games, or literature that would fall under this broad category. The "noir" genre in film began at the start of the twentieth century. It "went out of style" in the middle of the century, in the 1950's and 1960's. However it has made a recent comeback with films like Sin City. This movie feature all the classic signs of film noir, even including an almost all black and white background for the movie. The link below is to a site that describes film noir and gives many example.
While I obviously chose the first link that came up when searching Google, I feel that it is a great site, that encompasses all of the things that I know about film noir. It also features a list of films that are considered "noir." The list includes both movies that Mr. Bushnell's English 160 class will watch, "Blade Runner" and "The Maltese Falcon".
"Sin City is a collection of interweaving stories all based in the corrupt, crime infested hell-hole that is Basin City. Heavily influenced by film-noir, the main storylines concern a hulking brute called Marv (Mickey Rourke), who is seeking the murderer of a beautiful woman who was killed while asleep in bed with him; an ex-photographer called Dwight (Clive Owen) who accidentally kills a hero cop and has to cover it up; and a soon-to-be-retiring policeman called Hartigan (Bruce Willis) who is incarcerated for a crime he didn't commit. All based on the brilliant graphic novels "Sin City", "The Big Fat Kill" and "That Yellow Bastard", written and illustrated by Frank Miller." -Taken from the plot summary for "Sin City" on imdb.com
