Trying to find a movie was hard but I finally decided to write about Blood Simple. Blood simple is a film from 1984. This film was directed and produced by Joel Coen, and Ethan Coen. The movie has two films the first one that was released and the second is the director’s cut. The director’s cut is digitally enhanced and boring parts were taken off the film. This movie has very good ratings. This film has an interesting twisted Plot that makes it seem confusing at the beginning. Marty is the Husband that contracted a private investigator to fallow his wife, he wants to find out if she is cheating on him. He asks the private investigator to do an illegal job for him and he will pay him 10,000 to kill them. They set their plans and the investigator tells him to go fishing so he can be seen by people. At this point the private investigator gives the audience a suspicious feeling about him. Well it turns out that he just played with Marty he didn’t kill them he took the money and killed Marty. This film has the Neo-noir and classic noir feeling to it because it involves the detective the Femme fatale that is cheating on the husband, sex, manipulations, bad language, and of course murders. The title of the movie reveals what happens throughout the film, it involves a lot of blood.

Diane,
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that choosing a film before you have seen it is the best strategy, but you have selected a film that exemplifies many of the characteristics of film noir and neo noir.
