"High Noon" Unassisted Combat

Much of the film is devoted to how Gary Cooper finds a helping hand against a common enemy. Of course, unfortunately. Everyone does not want to participate in it, and the fragility of people's hearts and the weakness of human feelings are reflected. The clock came on again and again, and he didn't have much time left. The enemy is about to appear.

Coincidentally, there was no suspense, and no one really reached out to him. So much so that when the enemy appeared, the town was empty. Gary Cooper fought alone, for the town and for himself. Grace Kelly, as his wife, did not run away, but returned to fight with him.

In the end, the battle was won, and the residents of the town actually appeared. The hero also resolutely took his wife away from the town.

The people here are weak, fearful, selfish, and

suddenly reminds me of Lu Xun. Maybe it's not related, maybe not really.
