The writers use the landscape in there story and if you live anywhere close to those destinations you would know exactly what they are talking about. The freeways they use and the cities that they describe and how the city are, make you know that they are talking about parts of L.A. The environment that they describes distinguish it for other places very much so by the actives that are going on and the streets that they talk about are only in those places of the world they you would see in L.A predominantly. Both of the writers have given a good description to the readers for they to know exactly where they are talking about in L.A with a out of towners they would know about these places but a native would be able to say that is right around the corner from me or that happen just not to far me. The writers did a really good job with explaining where they are basing the stories out of through the city and streets names and the freeways and other surrounding places.

How the Detective evolves

Isnt it funny how we hate crime and crimals but when we do it ourselves we try to justify why it is ok. We think we are fighting a enemy from the outside, but yet the biggest enemy we have, we look in the mirror at him or her everyday. It is just like in the new noir which we call neo noir where the detective is looking for the crimal but ultimally is search for himself for his own identity and how he may have lost it in the process.

The difference between neo noir and film noir is that neo noir is more of the times. Neo noir keeps the fundamentals of film noir and then adds it own twist things of our time. It show a modern day noir, where race, class, gender are shown in our contemporary soceity that makes up our new noir. With the film noir, it is a outside person narrator who is telling the story about the dectective looking for a villian and with neo noir it is the dectective looking for the villian but yet they are the villian like in the movie The Boure Identity where Jason is looking for a killer but comes to find out that he is the killer.

I believe we are like that also, looking for where the problem is coming from and never even thing that we are the problem ourselves, or our own solutions to our problems. The different noirs are like the same as other things in life. That you can change the techniques but the fundatmentals never change. The neo noir is like pulling from the pass and adding a little flare and twist to the already great gerne, Which make film noir even better but ultimatley reveals to people this is what we are dealing with today not other people as villains but the villians being us and us trying to solve and figure out oursleves. Looking at the new noir it is hard to catch a villian when you dont even know it is you so search hard and long solve and catch that villian in you
