    High Noon short comments

      The two women on the carriage passed the old man, the old lover stared back, knowing that this was a goodbye, and the new wife dismissed it, because she would come back.

      Formally anti-type, superficially anti-hero, but the heroic complex in the bones is sublimated through the return of human nature. The real hero is not perfect, not fearless and not afraid of death, but facing up to his own fear, because of morality and principle, he still moves forward in the face of death, even if the whole world chooses to stand by and watch for their own reasons, even if they love the most. The people who have lost their minds have to abandon themselves and still not change their original aspirations.

    High Noon quotes

    • Helen: Kane will be a dead man in half an hour and nobody's gonna do anything about it. And when he dies, this town dies too. I can feel it. I am all alone in the world. I have to make a living. So I'm going someplace else. That's all.

    • Dr. Mahin, Minister: The commandments say 'Thou shalt not kill,' but we hire men to go out and do it for us. The right and the wrong seem pretty clear here. But if you're asking me to tell my people to go out and kill and maybe get themselves killed, I'm sorry. I don't know what to say. I'm sorry.
