Italy: voiceover. (1 minute)3

Our Hiro is basking in the Italian Sun and thinking back upon the dark and mean and ugly business in Portland Noir. His Yours Truly is very much on his mind. It is not a happy story, sad but true.4

Portland: Part One. (3 minutes)5

Our Hiro leaves his office in the Acme building alone headed for a clandestine meeting at Powell's Book.6

In a shadier and seedy neighborhood passing by, he is set upon by a bunch of brothers seeking rumble.7

In this fight, he bests the biggest man, and the others leave the scene. He returns to his office.8

Portland: Part Two. (four minutes with dialogue)9

Yours Truly knocks on his door radiantly beautiful. They embrace. They kiss. They leave together. And so begins the gentle slid down to hell for both of them.10

She is his double self: that portent of his doom. She is the fem fatal and he is the fatal mal. Him dead meat. She is the siren song of Homer's dream.11

What one fatal woman can do to entirely ruin your day. It makes a fatal man rue the day he was born.12


Portland: Part Three. (1 minute)13

Our Hiro finds Yours Truly dead of a dose. He cannot forget her. He pines for her love. She is gone gone.14

Italy: voiceover (1 minute)15

Our Hiro's suicide from a fatal head wound began when he let his heart take over his head. He should have been wiser; she should have been wiser. But they both wound up dead; both he and his other self.16

Parody30

The word parody comes from two Greek words: para and ode, meaning another story, usually meant to be humorous.31

The story of Adam and Eve is set in a tragic and dramatic scene in the Garden of Eden, which is metaversal or universal in the telling of a parable, or sharpened tale. In the Greek, Parousia means a judgement of the world. (Bible dictionary) "… she took the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened…. Sent him forth from the Garden of Eden…. (Gen. 3:6, 7, 23)32

By the use of Antics3d, the director of Professionallcfilm Company, creates a Metaverse-all set giving directions to actors in the real world of Reality. Adam and Eve in the Metaverse are prototypes of the genetic actors in Reality.33

What Snow Crash lets us see with our eyes opened is the giving of white noise or snow to Da5id to bring about his fall from the pride of the world. It is done through a woman.34

There are two men: Hiro and Da5id. There are two women.
Juanita and Yours Truly. This adaptation combines the men in one man Hiro, our Adam, and combines the women in one woman Yours Truly, our Eve. The story is the seduction of Adam by Eve, who herself was seduced by the dark one.35

The white one in the black-and-white tale is the Origin.36

The director has taken the Noir story of Reni Fou, age 16.
He has replaced the name of Sam Spade with Our Hiro.
He has replaced the name of Eadi Parker with Yours Truly.37

Noir is a condensed version of The Maltese Falcon (1941)
or Dangerous Woman (1931) by Dashell Hammitt. It could be a statement of this entire genre of film. Man doing his thing just getting by but getting there. He meets her, the she devil, who persuades him through feminine wiles (sex), to do her murderous pursuits (kill). This brings him down to ruin.38

In the Eden version, man is sent into the wilderness to die. He has woman to give him children, some of who kill. We lose focus that it was meant by the Origin to bring about his redemption. He willingly took of the fruit; she was seduced.39

In Noir, Yours Truly has already taken drugs, which drive her to suicide. Our Hiro's longing for her memory takes his life.40

In Portland Noir, Yours Truly was drug-free when she meets Our Hiro. She is radiant, beautiful, unspoiled, and pristine. It is the meeting of Our Hiro, which inflames her passions to see the possibilities of making him the fall guy. Together their eyes are opened and they see an opening. They both take it. Her ending is left ambiguous; she has left him for Italy. He follows her to Italy to his disappointment. His demise is left ambiguous. (There is room for a return.)
The finality of drug overdose and of gun shot is implied.
Some of deeds they have done provoke others to kill.
We can take a parable from modern physics: there is a community of fish living on the top of a waterfall. If a fish swam too close to the lip of the falls, it would never be heard from again, because the speed of sound is slower the water. The other fish will hear no cries for help. This point of no return is like death. So far we hear no cries from the other side. In this Reality, we make mistakes: some are fatal.41

Physicists substitute light for sound with the black hole. The shades are not just black-and-white, but charcoal gray. Around every shower hole, there are sounds coming back, warning us of danger. A whirlpool or a charcoal-gray hole.
Each has a kind of radiation of sound or light returning, warning us of danger, death, darkness, with some light.42

This is what this parable or pointed story, Portland Noir, tells us. Beware of woman and man. It is a deadly situation. Both of you were going great in your way. He was Mars; she was Venus. Together you made a new constellation; new stars.43

She saw the good in him as well as the potential of evil. Whatever she wanted, she wanted it more than just him. She wanted to make him the fall guy. But it drove her to thirst after other drinks other fruit. 44

We are left with the moral:45

Why did the Origin do that to our lives? Why to theirs? Is there any hope? (Perhaps in the trailer or the series?) The plot thickens. More parodies of Snow Crash? Just what am I selling said the dark one? Is it black-and-white or gray?46

Wanted: A ending for Our Hiro and Yours Truly. Will they get together? Will the same happen to Our Hiro as did Da5id? Will Yours Truly do drugs or push drugs or dose drugs?47

This black-and-white 16mm film will be entered into FFW. This is your chance to make an ending, a trailer or a series.
