Film Noir

 The Weight of my own Conscience

I had killed a man to get a women. (pg 54 Mr. Huff). He quotes that he was in her power and their was only one person that could fry him and it was her Phillys Nirdlinger. It's crazy in the start of the book Phillys and Walter have this lust for eachother and half way in to the story they become angry and resentfull towards one another Mr. Huff even says that he can't stand to look at her. Because he finally feels bad that he killed a innocent man for a women that he doesn't really care for now but when at first he had lustfull thoughts for. This is why in a big way film Noir is interesting to me that a man can be so easily manipulated into doing something that they wouldn,t normally do without a push from an outside source. It's not only Walters emotions that change him but it's also the way Phillys is comming off towards him after they commit the murder of Mr. Nirdlinger Walter starts to question his own motive and he finds that he really had none and that Phillys coasted him into doing exactly what she wanted him to do. He even tries to forget about what he has done and can't concentrate on what has to be done and tries to sing a song to calm him down and say the lords prayer but nothing can help him in his current state of disbalief. And that he had to live this the rest of his life that he killed a innocent for a women he can't stand to look at now.
