Gun Crazy In Korea
Reading Leonard Pierce on Gun Crazy, I recalled that, for reasons unknown, the video for Infinite's "Be Mine" includes inserts from that violent movie, as well as noir atmosphere that has little to do with the lyrics — Eng. Trans. gives us a song about a girl who's hurting and a narrator guy who promises to protect her, if she'll be his: "Be mine, I will love you/I will worry about you/I will take care of you until the end"; maybe the videomakers felt that songs and groups like this need a menacing and violent correlative to the teenage feelings that the lyrics barely express. Paraphrasing Leonard, to a song dripping with good intentions, the video adds blood.
Leonard is posting about noir all month (on his Website and mirrored on his livejournal): noir novels, noir movies, noir nonfiction. I highly recommend it, not just the writeups but for what he's writing about. Noir was the garage rock of '40s and '50s Hollywood, but the product of workaday directors, writers, and cinematographers, practicing their trade on sidelots and low budgets, churning out disasters day by day in light and shadow, what an audience wanted.
