Gun Crazy

            Gun Crazy is a film noir movie from 1950 directed by Joseph H. Lewis.

Does it start with boys and bb guns

Aiming at anything that moves

Including the dog?

Movie theater madness

Bonnie & Clyde

The Judge asks the boy

Why did you do it?

I don’t know, he says.

My sister says shooting is the only thing I’m good at.

It’s what I want to do

When I grow up.

I feel good when I shoot

Like I’m somebody.
