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.
