Thousands of miles to dangerous places, Guanshan crossing is like flying

It's easy to think of "Ball of Suet". It's all about prostitutes and a cart of people of different identities riding a carriage to another place. It's all about other people's prejudice against prostitutes at the beginning, and then moved by the prostitutes and accepted prostitutes, of course. The ending of Ball of Suet is even more tragic, with prostitutes falling prey.

Obviously, the screenwriter of this film derived this story from "Ball of Suet". Westerns tend to have simple plots, winning with rhythm, a sense of suspense, a sense of tension, adding a little bit of love between children, grudges and hatreds, and then a gunfight and a horse-riding chase. . The black and white film does not reflect the magnificence of the Yellow Desert, which is a pity.

    I love Westerns full of metaphors, symbols and heroism~

    The front is boring, and the last 20 minutes are too refreshing. As a western film in the 1930s, it not only has excellent photography, but also a carriage chase scene that is quite amazing by the standards of the time, and even makes people smell a kind of romance with a sense of urbanism. This is also one of the earliest old films that I have heard of. I still remember the cross-time and space encounter between Mickey Mouse and Ringo in a certain Disney comic. Unexpectedly, the first book of the "Mad Max" series was also inspired by this.

Stagecoach quotes

  • Ringo Kid: Look, Miss Dallas. You got no folks... neither have I. And, well, maybe I'm takin' a lot for granted, but... I watched you with that baby - that other woman's baby. You looked... well, well I still got a ranch across the border. There's a nice place - a real nice place... trees... grass... water. There's a cabin half built. A man could live there... and a woman. Will you go?

    Dallas: But you don't know me - you don't know who I am.

    Ringo Kid: I know all I wanna know. Will you go?

    Dallas: Oh, don't talk like that!

    Marshal Curly Wilcox: How 'bout you, Mr. Hancock?

    Samuel Peacock: Peacock. I'd like to go on, brother. I want to reach the bosom of my dear family in Kansas City, Kansas as quickly as possible; but, I may never reach that bosom if we go on... so, under the circumstances - you understand, brother - I think it best we go back with the bosoms... I mean the soldiers.
