      Nian Nian Hong Chen

      This drama made me feel a little bit of sorrow of short life and old age. Friends who used to share adversity together actually met at the grave decades later. Nian Nian Hong Chen must finally go away, as if to feel the mood of everyone looking at my tombstone in the future. One hundred years later, there may be someone who is immortal who thinks of my playmate back then. And in two hundred years, the last memory of this world of me will be erased forever, as if it had never appeared before. It...

      True Grit

      John Wayne is a true hero! Originally, I was going to read the 10-year edition, but I read this edition by mistake. The hero Rooster' Cogburn, even if he is violently drunk, is very affectionate in getting along with Marty. At the end of the movie, the hero will grow old, but the heroic feeling will never grow old. The heroine played by Kim Darby is more like a tomboy who can catch mice with bare hands. The brave girl slowly showed her cute side. The arrogant side of the heroine without version...

      "Thunder Land": Belief beyond civilization

      Many people can clearly point out the era when the new frontier swept across the continent in American history. However, how many people have actually stepped past the intersection of civilization and history and really witnessed everything on that barren continent? In this still compliant Western movie, the director did just that, telling the story in the voice of a 14-year-old girl and bringing us into that world. Just like the western movies in the past, the sheriffs, starting from the town,...

      IMDb film review excerpt: It's all about the dialogue

      Author: mmartin677 2 September 2002 「Like most Americans, I have seen hundreds, maybe thousands of westerns in my life. I don't care for them much, primarily because I usually can't fall for them. In movies, the desire to please as wide an audience as possible seems always to win out, effectively robbing most westerns of the motion picture's essential gambit; the suspension of disbelief. It's very hard to lose oneself in a tale of the late 1800's when the female lead's eye-liner and coiff...

      Charm will continue

      1. The plot is somewhat anticlimactic. The foreshadowing in front brings me a lot of expectations, but the final excitement is not much.
      2. John Wayne is old and his skill is good, but the only duel scene is a bit inexplicable in western movies. This should be the style of the medieval knights in Europe, or the choice of Zhang Fei's war horse over time.
      3. I saw Robert Duvall with a naive face. At that time, he was far from the hybrid charm of today, but he was suddenly relieved. The...

      The plot is not boring, but the way of advancing it is a bit boring. With the role of a little girl, it seems very noisy, and I can't be attracted in the process of...

      Watching John Wayne and Kim Darby, the old man and girl combination, is quite interesting, the rhythm control is too slow, the foreshadowing is too long, the climax is too short, and the ending is too long. I like the freeze frame of John Wayne's horseback shooting. Young Robert Duvall and Dennis Hopper can be seen in the...

    Background creation

    The film is still a Western movie routine. Wayne once again plays a typical Western hero. However, this time his role is more mature than before. After making a series of Western movies, he finally won the Oscar at the age of 62. The honor of the best actor. In 1975, the sequel "Rooster Cogburn" (Rooster Cogburn, also translated as "One-eyed Dragon River and Lake") was released. It was played by the veteran actress Katharine Houghton...
