The film
noir is about the grim tale that focuses on crime and criminals, the film
Reservoir Dogs contain many aspects of film noir. Reservoir Dogs is about a
robbery from a well-executed heist to a disaster. The film opens with
introducing all the main characters after which the film continues with a scene
of the robbery ending in a disaster. One of the characters has been shot and
the rest of the team no-where to be found. It creates the mystery as to what
has happen and what is everyone doing. It also creates distrust among the group
as to who may be trusted and what are everyone’s true motives in the heist.
People are missing and everyone has a story to share as to what has happened
and alos there is a police office within them, and most importantly their loot.
Nobody can be trusted and causes much friction among the group, creating more a
dark theme that grows more as the film continues. There is no hero as everyone
is cynical and they are only there to watch for themselves. The dark theme
makes itself potent when one character’s credibility is questioned and the
other tortures him by dismembering his ear carelessly. The distrust grows to
the point where everyone is pointing guns at each other and everyone is faced
with death. The film’s ending is far from a good ending as everyone’s distrust
for one another leads to their each own doom, the police office was
conniving and forcing people to point
fingers at one another and used that to his advantage but also lead to his own
death
Great example using Reservoir Dogs.
