Description: “Blindsided” is a film Noir. And, best of all, classic Noir. Yes, it’s not the Noir, where everything is designed in b/W style and decorations in the style of 40’s- 50’s, but it’s not the most important thing. The main thing is that the whole story is couched in nurowska style. There are all the classic elements of this genre: the lone Ranger, falling in a tangled adventure, fatal, sexy lady; from the point of view of staging is the use of blinds in the frame, reflections in mirrors, mainly the dark, motels, bars… and, of course, the most important thing without which no cost, no Noir — this loneliness, pessimism. Speaking of pessimism, I really liked the contrast created by Donnelly: bright, colorful, cheerful scenes in Mexico are opposed to the rest of the story, her gloom and disappointment.
In “Blindsided” quite remarkable motifs of friendship, loyalty, trust. Interestingly, friendship and loyalty here is compared with canine devotion and even sacrifice. Another important point from the very beginning, the viewer creates the feeling of traveling, the desire to leave somewhere far, far away, the desire to get lost, to find something better light in my life. Life as an eternal wandering around the world, with their small adventures, of short of love and an endless search for happiness, peace, and, in the end, myself…
Speaking of pros, I want to underline the music. It is simple, as expected for television, and therefore especially memorable, unconsciously attracts and excites. Easy, uncomplicated motive saxophone and piano pleasantly reminiscent of the old detective stories the late 40s.
