Divine Seductive Princess

  Film noir may not be religious but covers the elements of the human mind and choices we make. This genre of film is more than just crime and suspense. It unveils the desires of the characters and what motivates them. They explore the pros and cons of various businesses, be it insurance and casino . Even though not any are the main theme, film noir touches on subjects such as discrimination , mistreated, same sex attraction and familial conflict .  The chemistry between the male and female leads of the story are exciting and thrilling as much as their romance. There's no fighting over whose in charge or coercing, its mutual and willing. The male lead may sacrifice his own current life to be with the siren, like in Nora Prentess and Out of the Past. It might be a bad choice one day in the future. Might lead to a happy ending, which doesn't always happen.  Furthermore, an old flame or thoughts of leaving current partner might surface, like in in Gilda and The Bri...

  Whether one likes it or not, the Bible has inspired a great deal of famous stories, TV series, plays, music and even movies. Despite difference of religion and opinions on the scriptures. We've seen this for as long as there's been book publishing and major film making.  The classic fables by Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm are key examples. Cinderella has similarity to the story of Esther, of acceptance and overcoming cruelty. Snow White took from the story of [future] King David's father-in-law, King Saul, murderous jealousy towards him. Additionally, David slaying Goliath also is inspiration for Jack and the Beanstalk . The story of Sleeping Beauty takes from the arrival of a curse and the importance of a deliverer.  In famous novels, the Bible continues to be a source material.  East of Eden  Biblical inspiration not only for its title but the story of Cain and Abel rivalry. The book of Exodus parallels the anthropomorphic tale of survi...

The famous novel by Guy de Maupassant is not just a story about social climbing but how far someone would go to get a "better" life. In this tale, we learn that Georges Duroy is an unhappy man with not much. He finds a way to gain money by having his way with wealthy women. In the story of Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert, Emma also strives for a "better" life and has her way with wealthy men. (Imagine if both were cousins given with their similar stories.) Both obsessively desire wealth and status but it only leads to their eventual ruin. Through the various retelling in film and television, we see how these characters are driven to have what they desire. In real life we might have met someone of this nature, regardless of appearances. Until their true colours are revealed, how can we say that we can stick by them? In our modern World, we have seen and read stories of people conning others. Some can even be doing it to support an unhealthy habit of sorts.  Even...

 The 1992 Erotic Neo Film Noir was both popular and controversial upon release. Not to mention a certain scene concerning the female main character during a police interrogation. The movie sparked real life outrage and similar crimes. But these topics are not what fans of the film think about. Rather, prefer to ignore. The chemistry and twist of fate between Nick Curran and Catherine Tramell is no better than Samson and Delilah from Biblical times. Both have done things in their past which parallels the other. Faced with danger and done things which others would shun them for. They both know a great deal about each other. Not to mention have a profound attraction.  To those around them, they feel this is a physical attraction which won't lead to anything. Or they are jealous and bitter like Roxy. A relationship like theirs is better off clandestine. A crooked and tormented cop and a femme fatale novelist, sounds like an interesting story. Since this tale is both alluring and t...

In the dating World, experts say destiny is nonexistent and everybody should be demanding perfection. Even going on to say dating itself is easy. Even being self absorb, manipulative and greedy should be condoned. Whether a popular trend or not, finding an ideal partner IS hard. Which is why most stay single. Films noirs  are a genre of movies which can either end with the male and female together or betraying. The word to describe how they meet isn't through dating. Rather fate but in a twisted way. The male lead is a man who'll do anything to keep the female lead who seduces him. She encourages him by her words and honesty. He has his job of which she doesn't criticize and he accepts her for who she is. They may be up to something which is no good, of course. However, that isn't what they feel for each other. They want a better life together and get away from the obstacles in the way. We as the audience can see that.  Their is a previous or potentially ending relation...
