Neo-noir is a style often seen in modern films, but with updated themes, content, style, visual elements or media that were absent in film noirs of the 1940s and 1950s. It wasn't until after 1970 that film critics began to consider "neo-noir" as a separate genre by its own definition. Unlike classic noirs, neo-noirs are aware of modern circumstances and technology. In the films of the early 1940s and '50s, audiences are led to understand and build a relationship with the protagonist or anti-hero. Neo-noir films of post-1970 often reverse this role. Unusual camera movements and story progress remind them that they are watching the film and not taking part in the story.
