The teacher talked about "Don't Knock on the Door" last class, I didn't come to listen, and I missed it. I've seen this film before, but I am not very impressed. So I watched it again.

This kind of unfancy film is like "The Wind Blows the Rice Waves". No one clicks, it is easy to feel that the film is "normal". But if you re-watch it with a calm heart, you will know why this work will stand out from so many westerns. The teacher said that after watching Wenders's filming in several scenes in this movie, he knew what a real master is. I think so.

Don't Come Knocking quotes

  • Earl: [singing] Where is Howard? Who is Howard? We wanna know, we wanna know. Where is Howard? Who is Howard? Where did he go, where did he go? He's down in the ditches. He's down in the ground. Disappeared himself. He's no-where to be found! Where is Howard? Who is Howard? He's long gone, he's long gone.

  • Howard Spence: Mind if I turn the radio on?

    Sutter: Yes, I do, as a matter of fact. I don't like outside influence.

    Howard Spence: Outside?

    Sutter: That's right. The world at large. It's a nasty place. Why allow it in? Livestalk reports, Navajo chanting, beheadings, bestiality. Nothing's changed. Black Death, the Inquisition, the Crusades, conquest of Mexico. What's changed?

    Howard Spence: I was thinking...

    Sutter: What?

    Howard Spence: I don't know.

    Sutter: Nothing's changed.

    Howard Spence: Guess not.
