"Mr. Smith is in the West" haha, very anti-type, not a single gun battle, the confrontation is not between good and evil, nor is it necessarily gun and law, we did not see any actual effect of the law in the end, only laughter and scolding The elections that took place, and the bleak exit of the cowboy who represented traditional Western laws, were probably replaced by normalized violence, and if there was any consolation, maybe it was the cactus flower in the desert.

One of John Ford's last works, the perfect western. 1. A mourning song of the Western World, full of banter, irony, and bitterness and tenderness. It marks the end of American classic Western films on multiple levels: age, cast and crew, structure of the play, and filming format (black and white, opening title The tombstone-style credits and the closed loop of the train entering vs leaving). 2. While self-discovering and subverting the tradition of western films, it has greatly strengthened the political nature, depicting a nearly complete map of civilization evolution, law, education, media, and democratic assembly elections eventually replaced the wild and primitive violent survival law. 3. The flashbacks in the layered structure intensify the suspense and irony to the extreme, and there are many comedic characters in the film (such as the gluttonous and incompetent sheriff, the alcoholic but eloquent newspaper editor, and the spokesperson for the big rancher who talks about it) The funny part balances the tension and sadness of the film. 4. Pompey and intertextuality on the issue of gun ban on the history of apartheid. 5. Burning old house and cactus flowers. 6.print the legend. (9.5/10)
