@article{2019,title={TRANSITION FROM FILM NOIR TO NEO NOIR IN CINEMA: POINT BLANK},abstractNode={Film Noir is the transfer of economic, cultural and political problems and inconsistencies in the social structure, which emerged in the 1940s. The subject is the depiction of a dark world in which the struggle, intrigue and murder become ordinary among some ambiguous forces. In the films of this genre, the intense dialogue flow, visual narrative language dominated by night shots, dark shadows, sharp lighting contrasts, and oblique camera angles are common. In the films, characters depict the types of people who have their own way, live alone, and often establish limited relationships with women who are the source of their misfortune. The transformation from 'Film Noir' to 'Neo Noir' is a phenomenon that develops, matures and emerges over time. What are the social transformations that led to this phenomenon? What are its characteristics? How did these features reflect Neo Noir on both form and content? As an answer to the aforementioned questions, it is seen that the relationship between the USA in the 1960s and 1970s is directly related to each other within the context of cause and effect relations. The moral structure of the society, the assassination of the President of the USA, J. F. Kennedy, the murder of the African-American leader Martin Luther King, the rise of conservatism, student movements, feminism, sexual revolution, anti-militarism and similar social developments were effective in the rise of Neo Noir films. This study discusses the neo noir period after the film noir period and the changes in the narrative structure of the neo noir. To this end, the movie Point Blank has been examined within the context of the transition from the film noir to the neo noir in cinema. The changes in space, character and iconographic elements are examined in the film analysis.},author={Ali ÖZTÜRK},year={2019},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
