From two to four stars

The 1956 movie, I thought it should have been
two hours earlier, the plot is too loose, everything seems a little
too procrastinated now, the
door frame framing, and the composition of the opening has many times.
Laurie is the best at acting, the most dramatic, and also very beautiful.
I originally gave it two stars, but after a few days, it feels good to look at it again, but the stars are less. The horse-riding scenes are all hard bridges and hard horses, which are wonderful. Some performances are limited by history and are more stylized. Now they should be given at least four stars. At the time, they must have been full marks.

    The setting and the big scene of the real scene and the western world constructed by the close-up in the studio have artificially constructed the dangerous outer wilderness and the warm inner family, the hostile red other and the interdependent white community, barbarism and civilization. , conquer and protect.

The narrative of the film well embodies the current rhetoric of "free state responsibility" in the United States. By demonizing dissidents, 1 covering up the sins it has caused to the world 2 whitewashing sins into the pursuit of the supreme "universal value"

    The subject is ambiguous, but the filming is very attractive. The ambiguousness may be the creator's own values ​​swaying, whether the issue of race is really right or wrong. In fact, from the moment two different races meet, they have fallen into an infinite loop. The vast area and the long search in the film make the hero’s loneliness especially abrupt. John Ford suddenly fell in love with closed compositions. I wonder if he wanted to express something deeper. Civilization is always written by the victors, and values ​​have never been It's the winner that defines it.
