The 4th #法罗岛电影节# The 5th screening day of the main competition unit will bring you "Slaying the Dragon", and here is the evaluation of the publication group!

East coupling:

Quite a classic Western movie, but the Chinese translation of the name is very confusing...what the hell is Tu Long. ps: John Wayne is really eye-catching.

Mimi:

The love between friends is the most true.

fire_storm:

One of my favorite westerns too. Hawkes is good at group dramas, which is vividly shown in this film. The cowboys with different personalities are all memorable. Compared with other western themes, the characters are more three-dimensional and interesting. At the same time, the richness of the elements contained in the film is completely unmatched by most Western films.

Want to be you:

Western films actually have a taste of road films, and everyone has a distinct personality.

Aurora vovo:

I didn't understand why the manual likes this one so much (the top of the list in 59 years + the 100 most beautiful films selected) maybe because my rank is too low. (Personally, I still prefer the Red Dead Redemption trilogy)

The whole film embodies a very old-school drama. As a highly typified film, the plot of the whole film has already set the tone from the beginning, and some have fallen into the shadows. The audience can guess the end from the beginning, and the perception will naturally be greatly reduced.

Although the plot seems a bit too old-fashioned, but the powerful craftsmanship of the Hollywood industry has allowed the film's art department to regain its strength. The set design of the movie can be seen with a lot of thought and delicacy. Although there are still traces of suspected studio shooting in some places (whether the whole film is studio shot or not to be verified), the outstanding contribution of the entire film art director department has succeeded slightly. Let the look and feel have improved.

Finally, the most amazing feeling this film brings to me is that, compared to other westerns with overwhelming male hormones, "Slaying the Dragon" is also the main configuration of three males (and the god of westerns, John Wayne). ) But the three male protagonists were robbed of the limelight by Angie Dickinson’s grace and wonderful performance (at least in my opinion), which is a very interesting place.

Sweet tea ♂ me:

I don’t really like westerns, especially after watching the No1 "Once Upon a Time in the West" in my heart.

We Min Hee:

No hurry, no slowness, no slowness, no illness.

Dan Stevens:

A typical American Western. The biggest feature of this film is character creation. Everyone has flesh and blood, three-dimensional and plump. Generally speaking, I don't like positive characters, mainly because they are too perfect, not in line with reality, and not grounded enough. But in this film, Dan Spey's humorous and joyful character made me suspect that he was responsible for making funny things, but in fact, he was full of justice.

City of Philharmonic:

Howard Hawks is a genius.

Humanity is "specializing in the art industry". This sentence is not suitable for Howard. In the early 1930s, "Scarface" was filmed, which is no less inferior to contemporary gang crime films. It is also easy to shoot a romance film. When it was quiet, it was "Escape" and "Angel's Wings", and it became "Nursing Story" and "Girlfriend Friday". The level of Westerns was not bad at all. The shots were "Slaying the Dragon", "Red River", turn around and try film noir, good guy, "The Night is Long and Dreamy".

The posture of blooming all over this time has the flavor of Fritz Lang + Leo McCarley + John Ford + John Houston.

    The characters are very full, and the chivalrous bones still have to watch westerns. Compared with them, Chinese martial arts movies are weak.

    Howard Hawks/Western Top 1 This kind of nagging style. . No wonder Quentin loves it~ Every character is interesting, the opening sequence is full of master style, and I didn't notice that there are almost no close-ups in this film without reading the comments. . My favorite part is when a few men sing in the house, it's so romantic, I almost burst into tears! The shootout at the end is even more interesting~
