How did societal fears play into the storylines of film noir?
Societal fears were reflected in the movie to have a stronger emotional impact for those who were watching it during the time period. For example, during the World War era, many feared the invasion of foreign countries that would pull them into an uncontrollable situation. The people also distrusted the manipulative government exploiting American citizens. The lower class generally distrusted those in higher power, such as the police force and lawyers.
