1. John Ford, who made this film, was 68 years old at this time, and John Wayne, who starred in it, was also 55 years old. For their golden age, they are undoubtedly old. The western cowboy Tom in this article seems to be a westerner in his 20s (but Wayne’s age at this time and the heaviness of the script make This character embodies a texture that can only be obtained at the age of 40 or 50) So from the beginning of the film, there was a sense of disharmony, as if the past western events that Lance told did not happen long ago, but more like yesterday, so From the beginning to the end, the image of Tom in the coffin has never appeared (TOM was 55 years old when he was young, and this condition is not easy to achieve in terms of the artistry and operability of the film)
2. Most of John Ford's early films were against the Indians. The protagonists either wiped out the Indians (searchers), or "Heroes" (Fortress Wind and Cloud) when they were wiped out by the Indians. Such a politically incorrect Ford, everything in this article is too correct." If Lance did not become a senator in the final debate, then I think the name of the film would not be The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
It should become The Man Who Shot Rance
The past memories of the film are quite satisfactory. The traditional western taste, the traditional John Ford-style westerns, may be shocked by his vulgar sense of the times for the first time. But after watching too much, it often feels a bit lengthy (but it is acceptable for the film, there are not too many extravagances, and there are no jokes that are not funny at all) The final flashback tells the audience who is the real one The heroes of the West are interesting, but they are already expected. Here I have to complain about the Chinese translation of "Shuanghu Tulong". Not only does it sound like a bad film shot in a studio in Hong Kong in the 1970s, but it also shakes out all the suspenseful places prematurely. NS.
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
I saw this English name before watching the movie, and I just found it banal and boring. After watching it, I found out that the man who killed the villain was Tom. Later I found out that it was Rance. In the end, I realized that it was Tom. A hint of surprise.
3. The most in-depth article in this article is not the idealistic country lawyer, nor the heroine of the tavern, but it is the western hero Tom played by the old John Wayne. He could have stood by and let himself receive it. Fame and beauty return. However, his sense of mission and traditional western heroic temperament determined which shot he had to shoot. When he shot Liebert, he actually killed his own past. Law and order will eventually end the chaotic Western Cowboy era. He can shoot and kill the hands of the villains that are shrouded in the town, but he can never resist the torrent of the times. So this young lawyer can become a senator, an ambassador, and a great hero in the eyes of others, while TOM can only let time make his appearance old, let history make his body no longer strong, and his waist will never be strong. With a gun, he can't kill his worst enemy.
I can only let the body's decadence and the depression of the will fall in a small coffin...
