The Femme fatal is a manipulative character who traps males into a web reeling them in with her beauty and sweet talk. the Femme fatal is like a black widow which is a female spider which eats the male their a very controlling species and the females are in control. women were housewives and home makers before but now they have changed to become strong and independent women. within being strong their power came across cunning and clever hiding there criminality and deceiving the detectives. the Femme fatal demonstrates she is a strong and independent woman and are very intelligent to out smart the detective by making him believe shes innocent and making herself out to be something else. She always makes herself very desirable so that all the males want to help her in the end and show off to her.
Femme Fatals also have very negative characteristics as they use their beauty to be sly and use the detectives to get help money and attention and to make them believe in everything she says. The way they present themselves when accompanied by the male is very acted and fake. They seduce and draws in the male to feel sorry for her and so he falls for her stupidly.
These women are doomed because film in the 1940s had to reinforce the status quo. at the end of the Maltese falcon the women goes to jail the Femme fatal can only fool for a certain amount of time before their caught out.
The detective
The detective have a down fall We used a variety of conventions to suit our film noir genre. We went with the stereotypical male detective and femme fatale. We chose their costumes to fit the conventions of a film noir; the detective wore a suit and hat and the femme fatale wore a long fur coat a. i analysed 'Se7en' and 'The Maltese Falcon' both film noirs but Even though the time periods are different the main attire is still the same. 'Se7en' has challenged the roles of the detective however because they have used a different ethnicity compared to a typical white ethnic man.
