Great, well informed and well thought out content. Please slow down, and make more references to the films being highlighted so viewers can keep up and get all your great ideas

I’m going to have to look up the ingredients of Neo Noir , but is Joker Neo Noir ?

thats bullshit what you said Delon and Nathalie didnt divorce in 67 they divorced only 2 years later after this movie .

great doc

The Samurai didnt started . It started with This Gun for Hire with Alan Ladd .

The world of cinema has become something disgusting, I am moving forward

I have a funny feeling that most kids never watched Le Samourai before watching this. Luckily I got to watch this as a child.

love the channel bro

People who believe in thousand genders, "love is love", gay marriage, ménage a trois marriage and reject completely the Christian view of marriage ARE COMPLAINING about someone fall in love for an artificial intelligence. Yeah, a man fall in loves for what you say and looks to him. JOI is the "happy wife, happy life" and look gorgeous. Amazing how everything about the loneliness of a man (a big city problem since the Roman empire, even their philosophers talk about) and an "anti progressit" think is treated for mainstream knowledge like a leprosy You guys are only revealing the view from "men's are servants of a big modern society and this unhappy group is an enemy" I'm not american, my english is bad and im trying not use Google translate. Thank you.

Great work friend.

1- J. counter intuitive enough 2 a few IS noT a criminal but the fulfillment of THE LAW in a world where others foolishly and worse SEEm to be acting like the apocalyptic '' men of lawlessness'' overcompensating for being sufferers from an acute case of ''sister Miriam's complex'' in their very unique way of ''whitewashed tombs'', songlasses and all, since THEIR latent yet dormant for a while lie , later re-told from 1000 points of View and now out in the open is and will aelways be somehow 2 somebody somewhere just that a bloody lie from (and back to) the pit of hell UN til kingdom come, that with each passing day will become harder and harder to collectively hushed up and to internally justify to themselves because rather than their own celluloide archetypal whore, and the twins with their heads in flames, on fire COGNITIVE DISSONANCE IS INDEED A BITCH. 2- So ain t no use in putting red lipstick on a pig for UNrepentantly UNforgiven for having taken away she of La Luna Sefardita with the cross in her eyes of April (''en sus ojos de Abril'') theY will remain. 3- Roxanne!...Shema!!!

How? If melville based this on american movie.

Sensationnel Alain delon. Acteur et homme exceptionnel. Certainement le plus grand du monde

Melville once said " Le Samouraï is literally a psychopath ". He also explains that his minimalist style could only be embodied only by Alain Delon because Melville asks his actors to move very little, emotions must come to the screen without too much complexity. We needed a magnetic actor who when he stands up and looks straight ahead gives off already a certain power. Only Alain Delon could hypnotize a camera only with his tiger blue eyes .

Loved the nuance with which you approached this. I can tell you're a true admirer of his work. The almost 2 hour runtime flew by. Hope you continue to create.

Babearama is Mr Delon. A Supernova

I'm cooler than Jef Costelo.

JOI is perfect because she is pure feminity. That why it work so well. That's a fantassy make real. A pure anima, a pure projection.

Superb. A longish analysis (for RUclips) but nothing superfluous. Especially liked to hear about Melville's telling ADelon about his film and about ADelon's own room. How about a similar analysis of my other favourite Melville film 'Army of Shadows'? Two small unimportant objections. Bushido is not merely a 'moral' code, for it governs the samurai's behaviour also in many ways that have nothing to do with morality: same as a monk's code. And the first syllable of Friedkin does not rhyme with the English 'fried' but with 'freed': as in the German 'fried', meaning 'peace', where the ie is pronounced ee, as in Gottfried and Siegfried.

Alain Delon was/is the greatest. Rest in Peace Legend.

Rip Alain Delon.

Great video. RIP Alain Delon.

no not fucking jordan peterson, oh my god.

Humphrey Bogart is literally me

I think it also adds that he is damn good looking:)

Nightcrawler was the real Joker movie for me.

It's an excellent movie and the inspiration for _Ghostdog_ among others.

The perfect video I needed. Sick dude thanks.

Outstanding analysis of my favourite film. Thank you!

This was really excellent. Keep up the great work, man, I loved it.

This guy misses the point of the movie entirely

I loved this movie from the first. Bushido is not a real book, but there are a few key books that outlined the Bushido way like “Hagakure” and “The Book of Five Rings.”

Good stuff, and good luck! -My donation to the algorithm gods

Why do you speak so fast , what is the urge ? Is it propaganda or marketing : not giving any time to think ? And finally, I don't think this video is about film noir but about ideology. It is interesting a bit but not serious.

He's cooked again?

Good essay, keep it up.

amazing video, love the exploration of themes and messages.

Speaking of, “raw,” and, “unfiltered,” I just want to say, I adore your style of presentation. So many film critics and story analysts, that I do enjoy and follow on RUclips, nevertheless waste the viewer’s time with padding (for runtime length) sponsorship ads (which I skip through) digressions and self explanation, as though they have to account for every view they have and claim some sort of publicly defined, “right,” to have an opinion. Many still, “um,” and, “errr,” so much that I just want to switch them off, saying, “Get to the point! Why make a video if you haven’t even organised your thoughts? Make notes!” But not you. You are a greyhound, flying out of the starting gate and racing through one fascinating factoid after another, or perhaps a challenging thought followed by an interrogation of the viewer’s attitudes and assumptions, as you did so brilliantly with your Film Noir video, or maybe the bold announcement that a the premise to a classic movie was a lie. I find your style so refreshing, I am filled with admiration; for your depth of knowledge, your (genuine) original and well thought out examinations of what we’re seeing and hearing, and the fact that you can organise all of this into such eloquent prose, rattling off so much information at such a rapid clip. Talk about, “Educate, Entertain and Inform”? You tick all three boxes perfectly for me. I wish there were more video makers like you out there for just about all the topics I care about (which is a very broad spectrum) as it really is a shot in the arm for me. Your style, “seems,” unvarnished and super rapid fire. But it is so eloquently well organised and laid out that the viewer retains it all with no need to concentrate especially hard. RUclips NEEDS you and people like you. I hope these few videos you have made reach a wider audience and that you make many, many more. It’s abundantly clear that you have a lot to say of genuine value and that artists of all types would benefit from hearing it. Please make more videos and never change. Thank you, sincerely. P.S. I know I’ve been very effusive so, if you’ve read all the way down to here, thank you for your patience. I know a thing or two about this topic and I hope you will receive my comments in the sincere spirit that they are intended.

Thank you. One of the most well martialled, eloquent and thought provoking examinations of a genre I’ve seen. While exploring the heritage of Film Noir in a truly unique manner, you managed to interrogate some of that cultural baggage in a genuinely challenging and interesting way. Really enjoyed that.

Who likes any of these characters?

And Le Samourai was influenced by Alan Ladd's character in This Gun For Hire. Melville (the director) was said to be an ardent fan of American crime pictures (later defined as noir). So much so he wanted to make one of his own. The biggest hits of the noir genre, in the US, made it overseas and had their influence. Ones like Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity, and yes, This Gun For Hire. Its why the origination of the term "film noir" is associated with a french critic's reaction to those exact films once released overseas, as "black films"; dark, brooding crime pictures with a more sinister bent than what the US used to be releasing before WWII. Another precursor to Le Samourai worth mentioning is Murder By Contract which came out 10 years earlier and has the same cold lonely hitman, down to the crumby apareltment and his own "code". Often seen as a very direct influence to Taxi Driver, and Scorsese i know has talked before about his experience sering Murder By Contract with his friends and how they were all blown away by it more than yhe main feature. Eveb though it was considered the "B" movie in the lineup he thought it was far superior.

Having some difficulty separating the artist from the art as Alain Delon was a total knob. Something about knowing he knocked up Nico and then refused to acknowledge it just super turned me off.

Fantastic video. I hope the performance of this video doesn't get you down. You've done a great job and it's rare to find high quality in depth, highly edited work of this nature on RUclips, so imy grateful for the effort.

👏👏👏

This gun for hire with Alan ladd and Veronica lake was a clear influence on le samurai. Alain delon even looks similar to Alan Ladd in this gun for hire. Jean Pierre Melville was definitely heavily influenced by American noir films.
