Noir?

Here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), I decided I would discuss what I've done.

It's actually something I've mentioned a bit about.

What is it?

I've watched movies!

Here are some movies I've watched:

I Wake Up Screaming, starring Betty Grable, Victor Mature and other actors.  If you'd like to check out this film noir, click on this link:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Wake_Up_Screaming.  Even though this movie was from 1941, I enjoyed watching it.

* The Burglar, starring Dan Duryea, Jayne Mansfield and other actors.  Click on this link, to check out this crime thriller film noirhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burglar_(1957_film).  I enjoyed this old movie.

Mildred Pierce, starring Joan Crawford, Jack Carson and other actors.  Would you like to check out this American film noir crime-drama film?  If so, click on this link;  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mildred_Pierce_(film).  I was happy watching this  this old movie.

*  Detective Story, starring Kirk Douglas, Eleanor Parker and other actors.  Please click on this link, to check out this film noirhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detective_Story_(1951_film).  To me, it was great to seeing the actors in  this 1951 movie.

Riot In Cell Block 11, starring Neville Brand, Emile Meyer and other actors. Hopefully, you'll click on this link to check out this film noir crime filmhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riot_in_Cell_Block_11.  To me, it was good seeing this 1954 movie.

When I first was about to begin watching noir movies, I wondered what it meant. So I looked on Google and saw this, so I copied/pasted it here, so you could understand it's meaning, if you weren't aware of it:

Film noir (/nwɑːr/; French: [film nwaʁ]) is a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, particularly those that emphasize cynical attitudes and sexual motivations. ... Whether film noir qualifies as a distinct genre is a matter of ongoing debate among scholars.

Wikipedia quoted this (I copied and posted it for you):

Film noir is a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, particularly those that emphasize ...

Just as we read, noir movies are basically... crime dramas.

Even though I watch those movies, I realize that crime is violent... in this world.

Thinking of that made me think of Genesis 6:11, "The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.".

Amen!  The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

To me, I realize that our world is still sinful, but mainly through people who do not belong to God.

I belong to God.

Do you ?

If you don't belong to God, then when your life ends here on earth, you'll be forever in Hell, separated from Him, with no chance of escape.

Please realize that would be horrible.

Of course if you belong to Him, then I'll see you in Heaven and we both will be blessed.

Thank You, Lord!

Until next time...
