Ahh..."Film Noir". That brings back memories of my edgy college student days where I was obsessed with that genre. Literally all of my creative writing projects for class were in that style and when the teacher was reading out excerpts from one it was so over the top hardboiled that the other students were cracking up laughing. :bored:Trying to find some classic film noir movies to watch since I'm currently writing a side project that's in the noir/hard boiled genre. Not sure why the only ones I can find on Netflix are modern movies that don't fit the genre, but.... Probably gonna give up soon and watch YouTube while I write.
I haven't got a clue, personally. I think we have a distinct lack of identity, mostly due to our society's insistence that we please everyone everywhere as much as possible, even if it means to the detriment of our own cultural identity. We have no real national dress, no real national food and definitely no national religion any more. It's a shame, really - I love it when you get to see other cultures on TV parading and showing their proud heritage. I think we are so afraid of upsetting anyone, we shy away from embracing any elements of historical identity. There's far more to our country than slavery, Henry the Eighth and the British Empire, for goodness sake...I was quizzed yesterday by a Scot on what it means to be English and I wasn't sure how to answer.
