Crime and Gangster Genre (Part 3)
To conclude the research on the Crime and Gangster genre comparing the general build of the genre over the years.
The crime over years stays with the fact that violence one of the most important aspects that points out it's a crime film that the audience is watching.
Over the years crime films have captured audience attention by giving out hints to let the audience solve the mystery behind the crime, like who committed the murder, like a jigsaw puzzle where the audience has to piece together.
Crime films also have the need to make the criminal increasing intelligent and finding new ways in which the criminal can cover up his crimes, giving the criminal strength will help in showing they can escape the justice that is after him this could be the police or someone higher in power.
Modern crime films uses hybrid of different sub genre's mostly used genre's are: Crime/Comedy, Crime/Romance, Crime/Action, however it is not common to see two or three sub genre's mixed into crime these days to create a less serious crime story or a extreme spray of excitement in the crime.
In general the genre of crime and gangster movies have changed in today's modern time but the structure of the crime and gangster still exist and still used today to create modern films these include the violence, drugs, sex, the criminal, the justice that stands in the criminal ways and the punishment.

Crime and Gangster Genre (Part 2)
A different critic takes Girard theory a different way.
"Bataille understand traditional sacrifice as a transgress release of excess irrationality, and one that offers a challenge to societies otherwise organised around consumption."
It's like when jesus offered his body hoping humans will change and be forgiven.
[Thompson, Kirsten Moana, Page 3]
"Crime films raises issues about the relationship between the public sphere and the actions and privacy of the individual, attitude to social practices, sex and drugs."
Crime films are usually based on the criminal and the certain individual actions which raises public issues.
[Thompson, Kirsten Moana, Page 4]
"Crime stories have a close relationship to pornography in that both may fuse narrative sex and violence, and like gangster and serial killer films offer graphics and violent spectacle as a compelling attraction for the viewer."
Crime stories and films can have links to pornography but in modern times they are now usually linked with having a sub genre of romance.
[Thompson, Kirsten Moana, Page 5-6]
In Crime films they like to leave subtle hints for the audience to help them solve the mystery of the plot; such as who the killer is.
"Murder is like a jigsaw. Until you fit in the final piece, you can’t see the whole picture."
[Thompson, Kirsten Moana, Page 30]
They like to leave subtle hints for the audience to help them solve the mystery of the plot; such as who the killer is.
"All criminals have a similar; such as Hyper-intelligence, strength, uncanny insight and ubiquity." Ubliquity is to be in more then one place at once.
To avoid being caught, the criminal must be able to preform the crime (murder) and have a high interlect to plan a form of escape or cover-up.
[Thompson, Kirsten Moana, Page 30]
In films there are lots of hybrid, if the film was a romance-crime the romance would come first and the women would become more dominant, while if the film was crime-romance then the role of the women would be minor or insignificant.
"Romantic melodrama or the romantic comedy the love story tends to be dominant. However in male-orientated genres such as the Western and the gangster film, the role of the woman is often marginalised."
[Krutnik, Frank, Page 4]
In all crime films it is important to known that "the more successful the villain, the more successful the picture".

Crime and Gangster Genre (Part 1)
The Crime and Gangster Genre in film still exist in today's culture using past ideas to construct our modern films and now each and every crime and gangster film has their own trademark placed on them.
"The films usually contain two types of crime, Mala in se that is acts which are defined as bad or ‘crime against the laws of nature’ the most common of these would be murder.
Another is Mala prohibita, that is offences ‘against the laws of society’ the most common of these would be prostitution."
Mala in se is a latin word meaning evil or wrong doing and Mala prohibita is translated as wrong because it's prohibitied.
[Thompson, Kirsten Moana, page 1-2]

[Thompson, Kirsten Moana, page 1-2]
In crime films there is usually something or someone that stands for justice that will stop the criminal these are usually people who have power like the police or the goverment, when there is evil there is good and when there is a crime there is a punishment.
"From punishment to deterrence, the law has multiple functions, and shapes public behaviour by the criminal justice system is a history of dominant power structures and cultural norms."
[Thompson, Kirsten Moana, page 2]
In crime there are eight major types:
"Mystery detective story, the thriller, the caper, the tale of justice violated/restored, The disguised western, tales of revenge, vigilantism, criminal biopic."
The creators of the film needs to know what approach in crime they want to take and develop on it.
[Thompson, Kirsten Moanna, page 2]
"Violence is a ‘signature gesture’ of the crime film."
There are some major visual signs that let audience what genre of film they are watching one of the common visual signs in crime film is violence.
[Thompson, Kirsten Moanna, page 3]
Other's may view crime films in a different way.
"Criminal acts as a sacrificial scapegoat whose violent acts symbolically enact the desires and rivalries of the community, but whose execution fulfils society’s need for ritual bloodletting and punishment."
Like offering sacrificed animals to god past into modern day a sacrifice of a criminal to enforce the law.
[French theorist and critic rene Girard - 1976-1986]
