      "Young Lincoln"

      John Ford's first film after the peak of "Flying Off the Hill" is about Lincoln's youthful work as a trainee lawyer in Illinois. The plot is compact and smooth.
       
      Henry Fonda Henry Fonda used makeup to approximate Lincoln's young image, plus a large number of monologues and inner monologues, which appropriately showed his temperament.

      Fonda is said to have initially turned down the role because he was unsure of his ability to be the president that best represents the...

      the lonely but great man

      Black and white images always bring my memory back to those distant eras.

      Young Lincoln, he has deep and firm eyes, and the love that passed away makes us deeply feel the spread of loneliness in Lincoln's life. John Ford combined these elements ingeniously, so the film "Young Lincoln" was born.

      In 1939, John Ford shot a total of three films "Flying Off the Mountains", "Young Lincoln" and "Iron Gold". In these three films, the overly serious "Young Lincoln" and the...

      The case for post-structuralism

      Perhaps, if this film does not have the review of "Youth Handbook" and is not related to post-structuralism, then the film will be more submerged in the vast sea of ​​shadows... Criticism of the film is the first time that the loss of structuralism has been radiated. Or deliberately concealed subjectivity, who is planning all this, yes, the movie comes at an election, this movie is obviously a superb partisan propaganda film, shot Lincoln, but obviously ignores more content, About him when...

      Movies Notable for "Youth Handbook"

      It was the first time I watched the "Youth Handbook" to analyze the film in a serious manner, and I was quite touched.
      It turns out that a film can be analyzed from only one point of view, and it is neither thin nor unreasonable.
      An excerpt from my favorite part of the scene where Lincoln meets his lover:

      Around Lincoln, the site presents the law-woman-nature relationship, structured according to a complementary and transformation-alternative architecture.
      Lincoln...

      There is solid evidence for the last witness to perjury, but it is obviously insufficient to infer that he is the murderer because of his perjury. Fortunately, there are several good characters in this movie. Fonda's calm performance must be quite rare in that era when the film's means of expression were limited. The most chewy was the mother who refused to identify which son was holding the knife. I don't like Mr. Ford's movies, this one is not...

    Movie quotes

    • Judge Herbert A. Bell: Come, come, gentlemen. You've got to give the boys a fair trial - a jury trial - before ou hang 'em.

    • Abe Lincoln: We seem to lose our heads in times like this. We do things together that we'd be mighty ashamed to do by ourselves!

    • Abe Lincoln: [In the law office with feet up on desk, arbitrating a dispute] Now, it says here brother Hawthorne... that you owe brother Wooldridge fifty-five dollars and forty-seven cents board at the rate of a dollar and a half a week, you owe him ninety dollars for use of a team and wagon for eight months, besides one hundred dollars cash on a loan.

      Woolridge: [triumphant] Yeah...

      Hawthorne: [indignant] Well, I never said I didn't!

      Abe Lincoln: [scratches head, speaks slowly and methodically] Well, I ain't no lightnin' calculator... but accordin' to my figurin'... you owe him two hundred and forty-five dollars and forty-seven cents. You're askin' two hundred and fifty dollars damages. Now, my idea is to split the difference of four dollars and fifty-three cents... which by a *strange* coincidence happens to be exactly the amount of my legal fee.

      [stands, speaks faster]

      Abe Lincoln: And the whole thing's settled! Well, what d'ya say?

      Hawthorne: [defiant] I won't do it!

      Woolridge: [defiant] Me either! I'll go to the law first!

      Abe Lincoln: [strolls between Hawthorne and Wooldridge, puts hands in pockets] Gentlemen... did ya ever hear about the time in the Blackhawk war when I... butted two fella's heads together? And busted *both* of 'em?

      [looks slowly from one man to the other]

      Woolridge: [sheepishly] Eh... well uh, I'm willin' if he is.

      [digs in pocket for money]

      Hawthorne: [indignant] 'Tain't fair... but I'll do it just to be shut of him!

      [digs in pouch for money]

      Abe Lincoln: Thanks, gentlemen. Ahh, that's gonna save us all a heap'a legal trouble... and headaches.
