Film noir (/fɪlm nwɑːr/; French pronunciation: [film nwaʁ]) is a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, particularly such that emphasize cynical attitudes and sexual motivations. Hollywood's classical film noir period is generally regarded as extending from the early 1940s to the late 1950s. Film noir of this era is associated with a low-key black-and-white visual style that has roots in German Expressionist cinematography. Many of the prototypical stories and much of the attitude of classic noir derive from the hardboiled school of crime fiction that emerged in the United States during the Great Depression.
The term film noir, French for "black film" (literal) or "dark film" (closer meaning), first applied to Hollywood films by French critic Nino Frank in 1946, was unrecognized by most American film industry professionals of that era. Cinema historians and critics defined the category retrospectively. Before the notion was widely adopted in the 1970s, many of the classic films noirs were referred to as melodramas. Whether film noir qualifies as a distinct genre is a matter of ongoing debate among scholars.
Wikipedia (i/ˌwɪkᵻˈpiːdiə/ or i/ˌwɪkiˈpiːdiə/ WIK-i-PEE-dee-ə) is a free-access, free-content Internet encyclopedia, supported and hosted by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. Those who can access the site can edit most of its articles. Wikipedia is ranked among the ten most popular websites, and constitutes the Internet's largest and most popular general reference work.
Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger launched Wikipedia on January 15, 2001. Sanger coined its name, a portmanteau of wiki and encyclopedia. Initially only in English, Wikipedia quickly became multilingual as it developed similar versions in other languages, which differ in content and in editing practices. The English Wikipedia is now one of 291 Wikipedia editions and is the largest with 5,081,662 articles (having reached 5,000,000 articles in November 2015). There is a grand total, including all Wikipedias, of over 38 million articles in over 250 different languages. As of February 2014, it had 18 billion page views and nearly 500 million unique visitors each month.

A film, also called a movie, motion picture or photoplay, is a series of still images which, when shown on a screen, creates the illusion of moving images due to the phi phenomenon. This optical illusion causes the audience to perceive continuous motion between separate objects viewed rapidly in succession. A film is created by photographing actual scenes with a motion picture camera; by photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques; by means of CGI and computer animation; or by a combination of some or all of these techniques and other visual effects. The word "cinema", short for cinematography, is often used to refer to the industry of films and filmmaking or to the art of filmmaking itself. The contemporary definition of cinema is the art of simulating experiences to communicate ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty or atmosphere by the means of recorded or programmed moving images along with other sensory stimulations.
The process of filmmaking is both an art and an industry.

Love will be the armor
Protect us from the pain
In our life
In our life
Even when the storm comes,
We'll stand out in the rain,
Watch it slide, live inside.
Here we stand against the world
You and I we rock the lullaby
Make me feel alive, cause the love will never day
Me put you long one,
Shot me down and we're gone,
Ain't no need to worry, don't call 911.
Bang-bang, a lot of bang-bang,
Shoot me with your love and got me feeling no pain.
Kill it, kill it baby with your love even, bang bang,
Baby, do it again.
So shoot me with your bullet, bullet, bullet,
Such a pretty bullet, bullet, bullet,
Go ahead and pull it, pull it, pull it,
Shoot me with your bullet, bullet, bullet.
So shoot me with your bullet, bullet, bullet,
Such a pretty bullet, bullet, bullet,
Go ahead and pull it, pull it, pull it,
Shoot me with your bullet, bullet, bullet.
Even if you're mad at me
And fighting all the time
It's alright, it's alright.
I would risk my sanity
I would lose my mind
For one night, for one night.
Here we stand against the world
You and I we rock the lullaby
Make me feel alive, cause the love will never day
Me put you long one,
Shot me down and we're gone,
Ain't no need to worry, don't call 911.
Bang-bang, a lot of bang-bang,
Shoot me with your love and got me feeling no pain.
Kill it, kill it baby with your love even, bang bang,
Baby, do it again.
So shoot me with your bullet, bullet, bullet,
Such a pretty bullet, bullet, bullet,
Go ahead and pull it, pull it, pull it,
Shoot me with your bullet, bullet, bullet.
So shoot me with your bullet, bullet, bullet,
Such a pretty bullet, bullet, bullet,
Go ahead and pull it, pull it, pull it,
