Lonely smoke in the desert is not a sunset

Back then, I watched this film very accidentally. Just to sign in for my classmates, I took a film and television appreciation class. The first film that the teacher showed was precisely this "Noon". At that time, I didn’t know the greatness of this film, just for the sake of I insisted on signing in between classes, and then I finished watching the 85 minutes quietly. I remember that the teacher of the liberal arts college reminded me that this film was the first real-time film in film history before the screening, and the 85 minutes of the film is the actual 85 minutes. Although the taste of the other films he played was very poor, I still have to thank him, otherwise, with my perceptual ability at that time, I would never experience these when watching movies. Later when I watched "24 Hours", I would be proud to say that this is a big deal. Your ancestors used it 50 years ago~ Yes, even though 50 years have passed, the American elites in film and television We changed season after season. King Kong has climbed to the Empire State Building. The film still needs clocks as important narrative props for such films. Only the difference from the big clock to the electronic timer shows the difference between the two eras. This difference reminds us of the advancement and greatness of "Noon" from time to time.

    Bravery is not necessarily rational, rationality is not necessarily smart, kindness is neither brave nor smart. — Breaking away from the traditional pursuit of the integration of these "virtues", a disapproved would-be believer fights a criminal who escapes punishment alone, and the ultimate help is still It comes from social relations recognized by traditional concepts. In the post-Civil War era, the inner collision of the American spirit emerges in a small New Mexico town. He left the dust and went to America elsewhere. A solid theatre tradition.

    I have seen a lot of reviews about the film and a lot of referenced movies, but I really haven't seen the original and I don't know if there are wood or color versions. It should be said that the length of 85 minutes is not too long for a Western movie, and in this powerful length, there are still two beauties and a good film of the era that expects more than an hour of classic gunfights. President Clinton has watched it 17 times. I I thought he was more interested in "Independence Day" ☞

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.
