Modern Film Noir



                Yes both films were modern film noir. I say this because they both follow the classical form of modern film noir. Modern film noir is any form of a classic gangster film with all the action. Both The Road to Perdition and The Godfather are great examples of modern film noir. They both have a lot of action scenes. Along with action and great gunmanship, there is skill. I will be honest so therefore this blog will be quite short. I fell asleep during The Godfather. I feel really greatly bad about this. However, I did not fall asleep during The Road to Perdition and I personally thought that it was a great movie.
                In The Road to Perdition, the main character, Michael Junior, witnesses a murder and by his father and his father finds out. This event happened after Michael gets curious about his father’s job. So late that night, he sneaks out of his house, climbs into the family car, and hides under the back seat. Just then, his dad climbs into the driver’s seat and drives off not knowing that his son is in the back seat. The father then later arrives to his destination, gets out of the car, and proceeds with his plans of getting information on something that I didn’t pay attention to. In the mean time, the son climbs out of the car and watches his father do his business. But they’re not done yet. The father shoots the man that was being questioned and the son witnesses it. The father soon after finds the son shoked to see what his dad does for a living. Overall, a lot of people get killed a lot of banks get robbed and the son is in on all of it. In the end the father gets shot and killed, the son finds a home and Michael lives happily ever after the end.
