Critiques

In our opinion, noir somehow shows some social problems. Racial differences in the American imaginary are shown indirectly in the cinematic mode where it has been diffused as the black hearts and minds since 1940. Dark side of the white western are used to fill racial elements with actor color, to make the feeling of shadow in white. This promotes whiteness to think something racial in several parts which shows some respectable pleasures, especially few racial details from the film "Double Indemnity". This could break the nation's unity. 

However, we personally agree with the female fatale as it breaks the typical image of woman by the society. It reposition woman's image that challenge men's masculity. Woman could be strong, independent, richer than men, just as how it happens in the reality. Therefore, idea gender equality should be continued on future neo-noir instead of race discrimination.
