A golden dream

One of the most highly-rated westerns in history, the subject matter is one of the hardest things in the world-gold mining.
When Dobbs suffered two swords, Curtin escaped from death, all the sands were scattered, and only two partners were left laughing side by side. Maybe you would have such a sigh—people died for money.

Dobbs is played by the famous Humphrey Bogart in "Casablanca". Unfortunately, I haven't seen it, so I can't appreciate it. On the contrary, I think this buddy is very wretched...
or Curtin is more sunny, at least a positive image, although he is also "bad" Pass: Hesitating at the entrance of the tunnel, and always being wary;
Old Howard won the best actor of the year (1949), acting school, the best thing is to laugh, there is nothing to be happy at first, but he can laugh so happily...

In fact, the most funny thing is the "Mexican Bandit Soldier", so it's not good to be a slut Mexican! I actually rely on being a Mexican witch doctor to solve the food and clothing of the second half of my life. Alas, if you see too many American movies, you can't have a good impression of Mexico, but it's true! Digging a hole and putting on the hat, the hat is getting more and more torn from beginning to end, with a stupid face and big eyes.

There is a saying: Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers, and men who don't want to pan for gold are not good men. To do the gold rush dream, do it, do it with your heart, but don't be crazy.


Note: This film is in black and white, don't be fooled by the poster, but the effect is really not bad.

(Quotes)
Howard: We've wounded this mountain. It's our duty to close her wounds. It's the least we can do to show our gratitude for all the wealth she's given us. If you guys don't want to help me, I 'll do it alone.
Bob Curtin: You talk about that mountain like it was a real woman.
Fred C. Dobbs: She's been a lot better to me than any woman I ever knew. Keep your shirt on, old-timer. Sure, I'll help ya (It’s about environmental protection)

Bob Curtin: You know, the worst ain't so bad when it finally happens. Not half as bad as you figure it'll be before it's happened.

Dobbs: Conscience. What a thing. If you believe you got a conscience it'll pester you to death. But if you don't believe you got one, what could it do t'ya? Makes me sick, all this talking and fussing about nonsense.

    Bogart was born with a villain face rather than being attractive. Houston also knew about Bogart's virtue, so he could make a bastard come to life.

    Four and a half stars, good script, good actors, good acting, good ending. Thousands of gold are gone and never come back. Nature has made a big joke. Under extreme conditions, the transformation of human nature is always good people who are rewarded, and greed and selfishness have no end.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre quotes

  • Howard: Ah, as long as there's no find, the noble brotherhood will last but when the piles of gold begin to grow... that's when the trouble starts.

  • Howard: If I were you boys, I wouldn't talk or even think about women. T'aint good for your health.
