Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, and Montgomery Clift jointly performed a not-so-western literary film, and it was also the last film shared before the three lives. Clark Gable is 60 years old. He has lost the suave grace of Gone with the Wind and A Night in the Air. The wrinkles of the skin bring more than just the aging of the appearance, but also reflect more in the film. It is a kind of inner exhaustion, and the last exhaustion after taming the Mustang is the last youthful swan song. Intoxicated in the company of beauties of different temperaments, driving away without knowing where to go is also just to find a kind of sacred home. Montgomery Clift and the other male actor represent the different angles of the Western Cowboys. They are basically a multi-angle supplement to the Western role played by Guy, while the divorced beauty played by Marilyn Monroe is basically in A state of neurotic sensitivity. After the successful capture of the three male characters in the first half of the film’s beautiful scenes, the second half of the film suddenly turned down. When the four people set foot on the road to hunting wild horses, the personality between the male and female is huge. Differences and contradictions make the atmosphere gradually depressed and desperate. When the original ambiguous atmosphere disappears, and when it seems to be falling apart, the director tactfully makes the male protagonist to give in and seems to restore the feelings, and under the whole narrative inertia, tragedy is inevitable. It is ready to come out.

The Misfits quotes

  • Guido: She's crazy. They're all crazy. You try not to believe it because you need them. She's crazy. You struggle, you build, you try, you turn yourself inside out for 'em, but its never enough. So they put the spurs to you - I know, I got the marks. I know this racket, I just forgot what I knew for a while.

  • Roslyn: Horse killers! Killers! Murderers! You're liars! All of you, liars! You're only happy when you can see something die! Why don't you kill yourself to be happy? You and your God's country! Freedom! I pity you! You're three dear, sweet, dead men!
