for inexplicable persistence

Why stay? Don't know, but I just can't go.
What is a hero, a hero is a person who can firmly hold his heart, even if he does not know why.
No matter how puzzled others are, no matter what kind of betrayal you encounter, no matter whether you have doubts, fears, or hesitations, as long as you endure it in the end, you’ll be fine. Perhaps a hero does not need any great ideas, because the hero himself often does not understand the reason for persevering.

These words, written to the sheriff of "Noon", are also a reminder to the future self. If you want to persevere, just persevere. No matter what others say, life is just that small town in the movie. It is always better to count on yourself than to count on others. Maybe the "leave" advised by others is indeed a simple and comforting solution, but if you can't accept it in your heart, then don't accept it.

Also, everyone is paying attention to how amazing Grace Kelly is in the movie, but I actually think Katy Choudula is more flavorful.

    #The time in this film is the same as the time in reality# In order to achieve this, the wall clock and time appear frequently in the film and film, and the script editing should be very powerful, but in this era, the plot is slightly weaker.

    Anti-Western masterpiece. The whole film is edited according to 85 minutes of real time. The title of the film predicts that there will be a fierce battle at noon, which is equivalent to a time bomb detonating the countdown. The synchronous passage of time prompted by the repeated clock screen in the play gives the audience a strong impression. Substitution and excitement. As the plot progresses, the male protagonist's sheriff's attempts to recruit companions are repeatedly frustrated, making people chilling, angry and desperate. But at the end of the film, when the gang of residents of Qiantoucao town who were secretly observed swarmed out, the picture of the protagonist throwing the police badge coldly and then walking away is really heartwarming.
