Take Film Noir, a generous dose of high school intrigue, a dash of David Lynch, and toss them all into a blender. What you get is probably going to be Brick. That, or charges for the murder of David Lynch.A 2006 cult film written and directed by Rian Johnson, Brick tells the story of Brendan Frye (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a teenage loner silently pining over his ex-girlfriend, Emily. When he gets a phone call from a panicked Emily, and finds her dead in a storm drain soon after, he goes on a one-man quest to bring her murderer(s) to justice, blowing the lid off of his high school's underworld of drugs and crimes in the process.A defining element Brick adapts from its inspirations (such as the noir classic The Maltese Falcon) is its hard-boiled dialogue. Even though it takes place in the modern day, the characters in Brick all speak in an invented slang closely based on vernacular speech in the '20s, '30s, and '40s. The fact that traditional high school social cliques match surprisingly well with traditional noir archetypes is a certain plus as well.

The Sociopath
 Brick / int_19851b86
comment
The Sociopath: After Dode is killed, Brendan goes to Kara who is sobbing uncontrollably over it. Once she shoos her freshman lapdog away (who was offscreen up until that moment), she immediately stops crying and taunts Brendan about the situation. The complete lack of humanity pushes Brendan to break her mirror and throw her out of her dressing room undressed.

Unflinching Faith in the Brakes: Invoked, where Tug puts Brandon through a test of character by driving a fast-moving car just an inch away from running him over. Brandon doesn't get the "unflinching" part right but at least he doesn't jump away, which impresses Tug enough.

Noodle Incident: What went down between Brendan and "Jerr" before the events of the film. Word of God is that Jerr was a drug dealer who started getting friendly with Emily. Brendan didn't approve of this, so he partnered up with Jerr in a dope racket and then set him up for Trueman. Emily didn't approve of such blatant meddling in her life, and that's what lead to the fight in the flashback.

Femme Fatale: Laura Dannon, who attempts several failed passes at Brendan, who knows better than to trust her off the bat. Kara, an drama club ex-girlfriend of Brendan's, is a more upfront example as her manipulative nature and use of sexuality to make boys (particularly freshmen according to Brendan) into her lapdogs is something Brendan is well aware of from the start of the movie.

Riddle for the Ages: We might never find out what Laura whispered to Brendan. In a shooting script on his website, Rian Johnson reveals what Laura whispered at the end: Motherfucker, referencing the fact that Brendan and not Dode was the father of Emily's baby. This is a homage to the Dashiell Hammett short story, "The Girl with the Silver Eyes," which ends identically: "She put her mouth close to my ear so that her breath was warm again on my cheek, as it had been in the car, and whispered the vilest epithet of which the English language is capable."

Adults Are Useless: Played straight. The only adults we ever see on screen are the Vice-Principal, who depends on Brendan to tell him what's going on, and the Pin's mom, who's either obedient or totally oblivious to her son's business or doesn't care. Laura's mom is there at the party, but we see just enough of her to make it clear that she's completely hands-off.

Totally Radical: Inverted, and perhaps the strangest version of this trope in history. The characters are modern day teenagers who all speak like hardboiled characters in a Dashiel Hammett P.I. story. Hilariously justified by the fact that Mrs. Kasprzyk, a "tough but fair" teacher, is teaching this manner of speech in "Accelerated English" classes.

Did They or Didn't They?: The scene near the end between Brendan and Laura was shot with the footage in the film, but then continued when he took off her shirt. Then the scene faded back in with them smoking and her putting it back on and rearranging her clothes.

Shout-Out
 Brick / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The chase scene is an obvious homage to Cowboy Bebop (Brendan even looks a bit like Spike). The shot of Laura coming out of a dark corridor is a reference to Blue Velvet. The line "Oh, now you are dangerous" is taken verbatim from The Maltese Falcon, as is the "long short long short" warning signal. The sequence where Brendan speaks to Kara while she's wearing thick white stage makeup refers to Once Upon a Time in America. And the convoluted structure owes itself to The Big Sleep, and Raymond Chandler's style in general. The Pin's coat and cane make him look like Barnabas Collins.

Earn Your Happy Ending
 Brick / int_f64a9cf7
comment
Earn Your Happy Ending: A bittersweet one, at least. After getting beat to hell a couple times, getting in a half dozen fights, outsmarting another few folks high up on the food chain, and surviving the first shots of a potential gang war, Brendan finally gets to rest knowing that he punished the people that were behind Emily's murder.

Shouldn't We Be in School Right Now?
 Brick / int_f6d6a1c2
comment
Shouldn't We Be In School Right Now?: A lot of the characters go to and from school, more or less at will, although most of the film is set outside of school hours.

Put Me In, Coach!: Brad Bramish has a stock anecdote involving this trope, no doubt embellished.

comment
Evil Is Petty: After the Big Bad is outed in the last scene, they make one last play to cut into Brendan. Curtis, a junkie with a knife, attacks Brendan halfway through the movie. While it first looks like it might be the Pin or Dode, Brain reveals at the end he was hired by Brad after his fight with Brendan.
