The Night of the Hunter

BRRUHHHHHHH this is a sick movie. And when I mean sick I mean its terrible because this man named Powell is doing terrible, sick stuff. Like bruh I cant even mannnn. Im glad he dies in the end though. But anyway The Night of the Hunter came out in 1955 by Charles Laughton. I have no idea who this dude is so i did not know what to expect.
 Also going in to this film I had no dang idea what film noir was. And no I don't really know what it means now unless it has something to do with double identity cause in that case YES. In the movies there is a lying preacher just to get what he wants. He reminds of the preacher in a movie we watched last year in Dongells class (I think his name was Sonny). Yea but this preacher (Powell) was a total nub becuase he marries this widow for her husband's 10,000 that he stole. He ends killing her and also attacking the kids. LIKE WHO WOULD DO THAT THOUGH. But this was better than i thought it would be, although it did seem cheesy at some points but thats just becuase it is old and I hate old movies that are in black and white. BUT THIS OLDIE WAS ALOT BETTER THAN CITIZEN KANE.
 I had a hard time thinking of the theme for this novie (mainly becuase i dont have the sheet). But I think the one that works best individual vs. society. No one is ever on Powell's side in this movie. Although he does trick people to think he's good, that doesn't really count for people being on his side. HE's EVIL. But i would rate this movie 7 widows out of 10 widows.
