The noir意思

"Noir" is a French word meaning "black" or "dark." It is often used in the context of film, literature, and art to describe a genre or style that is characterized by themes of crime, mystery, and moral ambiguity, often set in a dark and moody atmosphere.

In film, the term "film noir" (literally "black film" in French) is used to describe a style of Hollywood filmmaking that was popular in the 1940s and 1950s, characterized by low-key lighting, shadowy sets, and plots involving crime and deceit. Film noir often features anti-heroes, femme fatales, and complex plots with twists and turns.

In literature, "noir fiction" refers to a genre of crime fiction that is similar in style and theme to film noir, often featuring hard-boiled detectives and bleak, urban settings.

The term "noir" has also been used more broadly to describe any work that has a dark or brooding quality, whether in film, literature, or other forms of art.
