I dream in color and passion red with shadows of black and
white.
It’s a simple thing that marks my rise from films and
histories fight.
It is not a pretty picture though they want to make it so.
The stories are the lecture, on the screens in theaters
glow.
They shape the moral ideologue with judgment of the crime.
And we the jury of the dialogue, our opinion is valued
prime.
Film noir is dark and brooding, with questions for us all.
It poses lusts and criminal goading, will our social temple
fall.
What darkness lurks in the viewers mind as murderous scenes
unfurl.
Do they find they are of the villain’s kind as their hair
begins to uncurl?
Or is it rather a rapturous plot when the evil villain is
caught?
And the lovers swoon in the evening moon with a moral lesson
Taught.
Ω
Film Noir has a vague definition. Is it a certain type of
film that has a dark romanticism?
Look up the definition and you will find it means different
things to different people.
