    Star party

    It was the first time I watched a film with a ring screen effect. I specially connected the computer to the big TV screen to enjoy it. The effect was really shocking, and I didn't expect so many big scenes to cooperate.
    The actors have nothing to say, the all-star lineup, constant excitement, look...

    The epic of imperialism

    In 1607, a colonial group of about one hundred people established Jamestown on Chesapeake Beach, which was the first permanent British colony in North America. In the next 150 years, many colonists came to settle in the coastal areas, most of which came from the United Kingdom, and some came from...

    The American ideology in the early 1960s was still in a frenzy of actively intervening in Far East affairs. Hollywood also actively cooperated with advocating conquest and expansion. Western films are the best type of carrier to express this spirit. Even if the colonial original sin complex is subject to the overall situation for the time being Forget it, although this does not mean that the Indians must become the main enemy in the plot. Rough calculations, almost all of the main characters in the film who have the head and face died of the civil war that challenged nature (the heroine's parents) and the white man (the hero's father), and even the most violent train rerouting violated the agreement and annoyed the natives. The scene is straight. The whites' injuries that were presented were also completely from the wild bull run of indirect human factors! Obviously, the main creator of the film is trying to find a balance between the urgency of actively cooperating with the ideological urgency and the sensitivity of moral resistance to the original sin of colonialism. But the sharing of the three directors' length is out of balance: Hathaway took care of the first half of the film alone, and John Ford's Civil War is only fifteen minutes? ! ......PS's familiar off-picture narration really came from a big-name star: Spencer Qusser, who has passed the sixtieth sixtieth year.

    It can only be said to be quite satisfactory, as the highlights are generally like this. The second part of the gold rush is the most brilliant, the plains carriage battle is the climax, followed by the first part of the rapids, the middle part of the Civil War directed by John Ford is the most prosaic in it, the fourth part of the railway and the fifth part of the lawless. Quite boring, the last part of the train gun battle is a climax scene, the plot is similar to "Noon" but not particularly brilliant. Never have high expectations for the highlights.
