    The group of characters is complex but not chaotic, with outstanding personality and fun; the carriage version of the road movie; apart from the outdated ideology, the carriage chase scene is very exciting. Yes; let a businessman be the president of the United States, and the audience laughed...

    It is indeed a movie that Orson Welles has watched more than 30 times. The deep focus, low-angle photography, and lighting still seem to have lost its charm. The balance between the various elements in the movie makes the film narrative smooth. Several characters with different personalities are played in angular and full of dramatic tension. Among them, the drunk doctor played by Thomas Mitchell is the most dramatic and the most...

    A classic of that era. The attraction of Westerns lies in the catchy music and the perfect protagonist. There are both firm guarding of principles and gentle flirting with the law. The line between good and evil blurs here. How to say, a little taste of rivers and lakes. The marshall who finally let the two elope was a...

    If you talk about Hollywood, you have to talk about Westerns, and if you talk about Westerns, you have to talk about this one. The camera movement and scene management are top-notch. The battle scene in the last 20 minutes is amazing. The film from more than 70 years ago easily kills a bunch of so-called blockbusters today. , What is rare is that as a western film, there are not only the righteous and affectionate western cowboys, but also two beautiful women who accompany them all the way....

    The level of photography is still a remarkable model for classical westerns...

    【B+】It's a really cool movie. The performance of the group play is excellent, and the shaping and portrayal of each character is just right, which is impressive, and at the same time, the choice of the characters always promotes the development and direction of the plot. The ability to shoot such a difficult group movie so smoothly shows the profound skills of the director and screenwriter. The last half hour is really climaxing: the crazy chase on the salt flats is really unimaginable...

    1. A classic American black and white western, the main plot is based on Maupassant's short story "Ball of Suet". 2. Ford placed all kinds of characters from all walks of life side-by-side in a narrow compressed space, creating dramatic tension through conflicts in limited time and space; the crowded carriage interior and the vast desert exterior formed a strong contrast, highlighting the pioneering and epic temperament. 3. A large number of live-action shooting, difficult panoramic and...

    The front and back structures are very symmetrical, and it is a classic type of language textbook, which is a must-see for film...

    The monument to the black-and-white era westerns, the more exciting it goes to the back. Probably John Ford's most famous work. It's just that now it seems that the shaping of the characters is still a little thin, after all, he is still an entertainment...

    What about the classic Hollywood narrative?

    From the perspective of narrative structure, the film tells a very complete story, weaving the beginning, development, climax and end of the film in a closed loop structure. Nine people of different classes and identities got into a carriage by chance and spent a dangerous journey together....

    The sparkle of contrast

    I was very interested in this movie because of the translation. Of course, due to the age, I always thought the plot was a bit simple at first, but after savouring it carefully, I felt that the characters who appeared in the short 96 minutes had distinct personalities, and they carried great...

Stagecoach quotes

  • Buck: If I was you, I'd let them shoot it out.

    Marshal Curly Wilcox: Let who?

    Buck: Luke Plummer and the Kid. There would be a lot more peace in this territory if that Luke Plummer had so many holes in him he couldn't hold his liquor.

  • Henry, the Ringo Kid: Hold it!
