... I never cared for those subset of films made though. By that I mean where the slime of humanity profits of from others misery as glamorous MO. There are plenty of enticing dark films that don’t preach such a defeatist messege. My penny anyway.
Maybe I'm too old and cynical, but I've found it to be quite common for the slime of humanity to profit from the misery of others. I'm not sure I agree that noir makes this "glamorous", pitiful, at times, perhaps.I'm sure just seeing the dark side makes some uncomfortable. And there were a lot of schlocky, B movie, exploitation types of films along these lines, don't think I'd go as far as classifying them as noir though.
today there are "desperado", "assassins" & "pulp ficton" poluting the theatres with lame predictable plots & 1D characters to snooze over.
