Film Noirs break these conventions as the women (femme fatales) are seen as being dangerous, powerful, assertive and manipulative whereas the men (anti-heros) are seen as easily manipulated and led by women. The roles of men and women also seem reversed within film noirs. The anti-hero within film noirs are normally seen as the victim, we haven't included a male character into our OTS due to us deciding on having two dominant female characters who are seen as very strong and individual women.
