I love Neo Noir,
when it is done well.
I think of “Brick”
set in high school,
in contemporary times;
and though nary a fedora
nor a trench coat can be found
it is Noir.
We follow the protagonist,
who is by no means charismatic
or wealthy or even tough;
he loses every fight
and frequently has his ass handed to him.
But like all good Noirs
what he lacks in brawn
he makes up for
in intelligence and intuition;
reminding us that though the world be wicked
a clever underdog
can think his way out.
Let us conclude
with a simple
call to action
In the Tibetan tradition Lamas are supported
not by monasteries but by students
as such the production of these livestreams,
blogs, and class materials is supported
by the generosity of viewers, and listeners, and readers
just like you.
