Project Proposal

For my final project I would like to do something along the lines of my video essay, however instead of just analyzing heist films I would like to compare neo noir films to noir films as a whole. I would love to focus on Quentin Tarantino films such as Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction for my main neo noir films, while comparing them with films such as The Killing and The Asphalt Jungle. Some materials that I would access for this project are Dickos Neo Noir as well as Telotte, Porfirio, and Christopher. This project would be in the style of a traditional term paper and would work to further analyze how neo noir films are influenced by classical noir.
