Here's what film noir is to me. It's a righteous, generically American movement that went from 1945 to 1958 and exposited one great theme, and that theme is ....... you're fucked. You have just met a woman, you are inches away from the greatest sex of your life but within six weeks of meeting the woman you will be framed for a crime you did not commit and you'll end up in the gas chamber, and as they strap you in and you're about to breath the cyanide fumes you'll be grateful for the few weeks you had with her and grateful for your own death.
