      "Blood in the Sun" movie drama

      text / [American] David O. Selznick
      translation / Chenhua

      1. Somewhere on the Texas border.
      valley. The peaks and peaks on both sides stand steeply and steeply.
      Jagged rocks.
      Among the rocks, a huge woman's head stone stands silently.
      The blood-like setting sun dipped this mystical valley into a rose color.
      [Voiceover] In the scorching, barren mountains of Texas, the weather-beaten boulder stands majestically....

      [Film Review] Duel in the Sun (1946) 7.3/10

      Hollywood mogul David O. Selznick's artistic follow-up of GONE WITH THE WIND, DUEL IN THE SUN is a lush western drama with King Vidor ostensibly at the helm, alas, in the wake of the creative difference between him and Selznick, the latter had to hire no less than six directors (himself included) to finish the shooting when the former reneged, so it is accountable that the final product is...

      A father's love as quiet and deep as the sea



           In 1946's Duel in the Sun, Marshall played his father, Scott Chavez, who raised a gun and shot his wife (an Indian) and her lover.

            It's in color, and Bart, 56, once again plays a husband who is betrayed by his wife. On his face, there is no more sadness in the past, only a touch of indifference, surprisingly calm. When he was playing his game of cards and wiping his...

      Selznick was probably the greatest romantic producer of the golden age of Hollywood (2005.10)

      Interested in film production lately. When it comes to the film industry and producers, Selznick is a name that cannot be avoided. Gold producer, legendary producer, the most powerful producer... A "Gone with the Wind" is enough to make Selznick famous in film history. It is said that Selznick used a total of 18 screenwriters for the film before and after, and during the filming process, he changed the guide tube three times, and the trick of auditioning the heroine was...

      prairie prodigal

      When the sun sets, when the sunset glows, when the night falls and the wind blows that night, the cowboy's guitar will sound lonely on the open and vast western grasslands.

      If it weren't for Gregory Peck's performance, Lewt in the story would be a complete villain: amoral and lawless, who not only played with Pearl's feelings several times, but also killed her fiancé on the eve of her wedding. However, like Pearl, we can't seem to really ignite our hatred for Lewt. On the contrary,...

      8.4/10. ①A love triangle between two men and one woman: the unrestrained heroine, the cowboy man, the lawyer man (where the heroine and the cowboy man both deeply love each other, but they are not together for various reasons, and even kill each other and die [holding each other when they die] each other】). ②The cowboy man and the lawyer man respectively symbolized the two sides of the United States at that time: barbarism and civilization. The female protagonist, as an Indian-American...

      The "Mansion Gate" under the sun has family feuds, female consciousness, racism and clash of civilizations. The heroine is a wild girl who wants to be a lady. She has the wildness of Indian blood, and she is envious of modern civilization. She struggles repeatedly, and she is twisted into a loveless slut. An overdone character needs overdone performance, or the character will collapse. Love the colors of this...

This film describes the story of a pair of brothers killing each other, with twists and turns in the plot, without much modification in the technique, just a general narrative style, but the storyline makes people feel a little incredible....

    Movie quotes

    • Lem Smoot: There's a funny glow in the sky tonight, ain't there? I remember once hearing one of them injun legends about how their ancestors lit bonfires in the sky when the chief's son was dying.

    • Lewt McCanles: I'm riding back to that hitching post and then turning and starting to shoot.

      Jesse McCanles: It's more than you did for Sam Pierce! Why all the consideration?

      Lewt McCanles: I just don't want them fancy friends of yours to say you had a brother who shot you down in cold blood.

    • The Sinkiller: Pearl, you're curved in the flesh of temptation. Resistance is going to be a darn sight harder for you than females protected by the shape of sows.
