The judge who ran away as soon as he heard the wind used his profound knowledge of history to predict the plot: the citizens of Athens in the fifth century BC were tortured by the dictator, and they finally overthrew the dictator and expelled the dictator. Athens. A few years later, the dictator returned with an army. The citizens of Athens opened the gates. All citizens stood by while the dictator executed the legitimate government. The same thing keeps repeating, nothing new. It's just human nature. In the film, although the public has benefited from the sheriff's security protection for the town for many years, the sheriff has already resigned. In the situation where he was alone against the four villains, no one showed the spirit of sacrifice and stepped forward to stand side by side with the sheriff. In combat, everyone is more willing to be "ungrateful", choose to do nothing and live on the sidelines. In contrast, the sheriff who has left office can completely choose to leave, but he chooses to stay for the sake of morality and is loyal to the justice in his heart. His wife is commendable.
Westerns can also be shot in the same way. The whole film is 85 minutes long, and the first 75 minutes are basically creating an atmosphere, using a cold way to describe Sheriff Ken's former friends/subordinates, those strong men "leave" one by one, and only he is left. A man in the scorching midday sun, his sweat and panting accompanied by the ticking of the bells, wind up the clockwork in our hearts. So it is also known as the ancestor of the "psychological" Western.
In the last shootout of the film, the clock rang at 12 noon, and the four Avengers’ horses slowly entered the town. After only a few turns, the end of the gunshot or two came to an end. The sheriff was alone and a man. With the help of the newly-wed wife Amy who returned, he solved the four villains, with a little speed and a little lack of convincing. After the victory or defeat was decided, the originally quiet environment was buzzing for a while, and all the townspeople ran out to surround the sheriff and chatted to celebrate the victory. Ironically, the sheriff threw down the police badge in indignation and rode with his wife. Go and end the movie.
Starring Garry Cooper himself is a cowboy born on a wealthy farm in Montana. He received an excellent education in the UK and is very gentlemanly, but he was 51 years old when the film was filmed, but he was going to play the newly married outgoing sheriff, standing with Grace Kelly. At the same time, the age difference is too big, it is not unconvincing, it is a little nauseating, it would be good to be 10 years younger. Garry seems to have won an Oscar for the male lead for this film. In addition, the film is the first real-time film in film history, that is, 85 minutes of the film is 85 minutes of reality.
What is commendable is the plump female characters in the Westerns. Grace Kelly, who plays Mrs., is a great beauty, and her character is a member of the Quaker. The Quakers are a more tolerant sect in Christianity, which emphasizes the good factors in human nature and does not attach importance to the "original sin theory"; it opposes external authority and cumbersome forms, so believers do not need to go to church often, and do not need to get married. Church; preaches complete equality between believers, individual believers can directly connect with God without any intermediary; promotes the principles of love and tolerance, and opposes violence. In the early days, the Society opposed all wars. It is the director's intention to give Yu Sheriff's wife such a belief. In the end she became the sheriff's only ally.
Another woman, Helen, is a former lover of the sheriff, and she seems to have inextricable entanglements with the villain Miller and police officer Harvey. Although she is a past lover, she still faces the sheriff's betrayal and predictable tragic ending, and decides to leave alone. Mrs. Amy came to her and begged her to persuade Ken to go, she said, if Donne was my husband, I would never leave here, I'm going to pick up a gun - I'm going to fight! Amy returned to assist her husband precisely because of Helen's words.
Although the rise of female characters, Hollywood is very angry with Ken, the useless sheriff, how can the hero not have the Pose hit by the gun and the momentum of single-handedly playing the enemy? Seven years later, John Wayne, the hero of another Western, teamed up with Howard Hawks to make "Slay the Dragon". The sheriff played by Wayne faced a large number of enemies and refused. Enthusiastic help from all directions, but only the bodyguard of the middle-aged cowboy. "I'd rather have a disabled professional shooter than a healthy third-rate guy", and people are still eager to help... It seems to be deliberately fighting against the sheriff's helpless plot.
This film is deeply loved by American presidents. Eisenhower and Clinton were all fascinated by it. I wonder if these presidents gained the courage to face the crisis from the film and insisted on doing what they thought was the right thing?
Finally, copy the original lyrics of a video to start a song, which basically describes the main plot:
Do not forsake me,oh my darling On this our wedding day Do not forsake me,oh my darling Wait,wait along I do not know what fate awaits me I only know I must be brave For I must face a man who hates me Or like a coward, a brave coward Or, to be torn between love and duty Sposin' I lose my fair-haired beauty Look at that big hand Move along nearing high noon He made a vow while in state's prison Vowed it would be my life for his I'm not afraid of death but Oh ,what shall I do if you leave me Do not forsake me,oh my darling You made that promise as a bride Do not forsake me ,oh my darling All tho' you're grievin' , don't think of leaving Now that I need you be my side Wat, wait along
