femme fatale



Sometimes I think about the character I would like to become if I actually become an actress myself 

I was always interested in "Femme fatale" character in noir movies of old Hollywood. You know character would give off this exceptional beauty, mesmerizing voice, uncontrollable seduction, highly intelligence and especially the ability of changing men lives. 


What interested me most is the complexity of such character since we always used to the fact that female roles are often poorly written and often only have supporting function for male protagonist. 

I've been several articles and researches about "femme fatales" and what makes a character become a femme fatale, what are the main elements? 

Well, the ideas are varied, of course, however, I'm pretty sure that the main factor which has significant contribution of a female character is the embodiment of life and death within herself 

What is the embodiment of life and death? You may ask

Well, it is indeed sophisticated 

but we can easily understand by the fact that these fatal women have the ability to bring the alive feelings for her victims by her affection, beauty and of course, sexual performance. After having "a night" with her, men hold within themselves the sense of a champion since he is the only one who owns this magnificent creature. 

However, they also creates this deadly situations where the protagonists have to choose whether being with her or death, he sure does know the fact that this woman only needs something from him, maybe power, maybe money, maybe entertainment or both. The man dives himself in such situations though he is well aware of the serve consequences. Like a moth to flame.
