L.A Confidential is a perfect example of a L.A noir film. L.A noir is similar to film noir because they have exactly the same themes but the difference is that L.A noir is more bright and cheerful like L.A compare to film noir which is dark and mysterious. L.A noir being so bright doesn't give the impression of it being a noir film that is why when the characters are inside a house or building the windows are normally covered by barley open blinds that let in small amounts of light but enough to see in. Film noir films don't do this as it is already dark in the place the filming is set in. Film noir consists of dark unnatural lighting caused by night or bad weather.
L.A noir maybe the most realistic use of lighting and this should make people feel more comfortable watching the film but because of the genre contrastion with the lighting people will feel uneasy due to it not being a typical noir film.
