This is Clark Gable's last film and Monroe's last film (afterwards, Monroe also made a "On the verge of collapse" but died before finishing it, now there is only a 37-minute version). This is the last movie of two Hollywood superstars... The plot in the film seems to be a bit fate or coincidence.
Too much of this film has a tidbit: this film is called "the most favored film in the history of photography". The famous "Magnum" got the exclusive rights to report, and sent Henri Cartier-Bresson, Bruce Davidson, Elliot Erwitt, Cornell Capa and Inge Morath to follow up the film...
The translation of the name of the movie is very funny. , I thought it was a hilarious romantic comedy, starring Gable and Monroe. But after watching it, I realized that it was such a heavy film. It’s the English translation of the title that is more appropriate. I
don’t know the reason for Monroe’s acting skills. It’s still such a scene. The whole film seems to be in a semi-psychedelic free state. I only know that he is divorced, and I don't know what to do. I met the cowboy (Gable) and the pilot (Wallach)... Several people are not very comfortable with this society, and they all succumb to the pressure of society to survive.
In the first half of the two-hour movie, it is said that cowboys and women plan to live in small cabins like escape from the world. The latter half of the cowboy is going to catch wild horses. The whole film does not look Hollywood at all, full of trivial details, drinking, growing vegetables, men fascinated by Monroe... all kinds of fringe scenes.
Monroe acts like a neurotic woman with free advantages in the film. On the one hand it is kind and innocent and cheerful, even a little heartless, on the other hand it is sensitive, melancholy and sentimental...Does the fear of the impermanence of life come from the drama or in life?
Gable also looks like a thick-lined cowboy and a reckless love saint on the one hand, but underneath it is the sadness and helplessness of being abandoned.
There are also two important figures, the young cowboy and the pilot. One of them is a young man who repeats Gable's old ways, but he has not caught up with the era that Gable had once enjoyed. The other is to completely give up changing their own pilots.
After spending an hour and a half preparing the characters and various fringe scenes to bring them into the situation, the most exciting section of catching the wild horse has arrived.
The last wild horse was grabbed by a few men~ The process of grabbing was sad and shocking. The wild beauty of the wild horses, the cowboys showed their heroic looks, but because of Monroe's sadness, everything seemed like a tragedy. A group of last wild horses was caught by a group of last cowboys...just for the poor few money. Maybe it's not money, just to prove that they can live in their way. As Gable has always said to Clift: better than your salary, isn’t it?
The most interesting part of this passage is here. Several people and playing themselves and oppressing their own society, and wild horses are playing wild horses and the person who captures themselves~~ There is
also a short period of Monroe buying horses inserted in the middle. The plot of the. Gable is angry ~ he doesn't need pity.
The last part of the thrilling one-on-one game between Gable and the stallion.
Does Gable oppose nature or society? Does Gable himself represent natural society? Is the horse himself? The old cowboy finally surrendered the Mustang. Does that mean that he also surrendered... People always have to obey the society... What did he exchange for releasing the Mustang?
This ending is actually sad, we can only choose to hurt ourselves if we don't hurt others. Does going home mean losing freedom?
Gable was tired, Monroe was tired too~~ They both died after this film.
