The past and the present

What distinguishes classic film noir from neo noir is that film noir were filmed in black and white, the noir films had low budgets that's why they couldn't  provide good lighting when they were filming in dark Allys, Film noir were based from the past their films were more from 1940s and the films were associated to world war 11.
Neo-Noir films are in color, they were developed in the 20th century neo-noir films have more budget which they are able to film in more places and of course provide better lighting to the audience.  Neo-noir " is tooted in a set of cultural factors of particular moments, not of the 1940, neo noir is not only part of new America, its very much a part of New Hollywood that takes advantage of a culturally and cinematic ally savvy audience. 
( fireman) the both types have films have a connection between them they bring women back, the women is involve all the time, and the women makes the mans lives miserable, but the women are used as a sexual object. "when the powerful women takes on the "masculine" rote- owner of the subjective view point initiator of the action she nearly always loses her traditionally feminine characteristics ( Kaplan 29.so what gets distinguished between both films is that the new version neo-noir is that the males dont get manipulated by the famme fatale that easily witch in film noir was the opposite the famme fatale would seduce the men till they accomplished what they wanted.
"Neo-noir takes the formula of classic noir and integrates new ideas and influences from contemporary film styles to provide new spin on the loneliness and uncertainly that is felt by many of the young and disenfranchised of today" ( Robson)
