    Having Jimmy and Wayne play roles younger than them is indeed a bit of a contradiction, but such casting is clearly the director's deep intention. A western story that builds civilization in chaos is probably the American conscience replacing the western soul, but it's just that In some places, the main theme cannot be seen directly, and the lawyer is sometimes cowardly and unpleasant. On the contrary, Wayne has always been a man. The black and white light and shadow of the night scenes are...

    Compared with those works that Ford controlled most perfectly (Chivalrous Tenderness, The Searcher, Pengmen Jinshi Kaijun, etc.), it is a little too hard, whether it is sensational or metaphorical (shot liberty, etc.), but it is full of appeal, and Weiwei There aren't many rival scenes between En and Li Mawen, but every second is...

    "This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes a fact, we should publish the legend." I want to say, have you considered the feelings of the parties involved in publishing your mother's legend? The saddest result of the tough guy in the West does not belong to his own era It has passed, but no one remembers that there was an era of his own. John Wayne is indeed the best proof of the existence of the western soul. Dongmu, who only inherited a little western spirit, is still too...

    The road to Washington is to establish law and order in the chaos and primitiveness. It is still very powerful. The black and white lighting is particularly beautiful. John Ford's movie, the interior scheduling is almost the most beautiful in classical Hollywood, but the main theme is politics. It is too thick, and the characters can be a little closer, especially the inexplicable beginning and end, which has almost nothing to do with the whole story, so I prefer the searcher. After reading it,...

    This film is John Ford's last classic western film. It was shot in 1962. At this time, it was the end of the western film. John Ford used black and white to shoot this film. In addition to the nostalgia for western films, there is also a reflection. Deconstruction means that the western desert in the past has also become a dilapidated town. John Wayne's lone ranger spirit is no longer suitable for this era under the national legal framework. Ford uses this film to pin his helplessness and...

    I'd like to add one star to this bittersweet ending. The eternal motif of this genre of Western films: the wheel of history rolls forward, and the heroic and narrow sense bred in the wilderness will eventually be replaced by civilization and the rule of law. Depressed and silently exited the stage. This theme always strikes me again and again. In addition, the film's portrayal of the ugliness of democracy is also very vivid. PS I looked through the director's portfolio, I was desperate, and...

    9.8/10. The story surrounding the friendship and contradiction between the cowboy and the lawyer who went to the countryside shows the historical process of the western world from respecting the strong to law and order. Some highly original clips: the confrontation for the steak (the awesome group portrait scheduling) / the duel between Lens and Valence (full of suspense, "Lens came from a distance, gradually from being shrouded in shadows to The light and shadow design of "Seeing the Faces" is...
