What is Neo-Noir?

Neo-Noir is often seen in modern motion pictures which uses elements of film noir but with updated themes, content, style and media that was not featured in the early ages of film noir. During the 1970s people considered neo-noir to be a totally seperate genre by its own definition for example, the neo-noir films are aware of the modern technology, risks and circumstances. The audience were helped to form a relationship with the hero in a film noir, however in neo-noir is quite the opposite as it keeps audiences waiting to become part of the story but the camera movements etc. reminds them that they are just watching a film instead of becoming part of the film.
