"Are you competent?" In Howard Hawks' 1959 masterpiece "The Scared Dragon", John Changs (played by John Wayne) repeatedly asked his partner, facing the fierce Joe and his gang, as long as The slightest negligence pays the price of life. If I had to choose a favorite among Hawks’ countless classics,...

Allegedly, Howard Hawks' jaunty response to the daunting self-centeredness and pessimism permeated in Fred Zinnemann's revisionist Western classic HIGH NOON (1952), RIO BRAVO reunites Hawks with marquee star John Wayne, over a decade after their last enterprise RED RIVER (1948) , the whole...

It turns out that this is the representative work of Wayne, the representative actor of Western films. I am so disappointed. . . A lot of the films of that era were huge. . . Far from being Clint Eastwood, man. In addition, the heroine of this film has slightly exposed cleavage and black silk on her thighs. Is the American social atmosphere in 1956 more open than in 1964?

9. Although you can clearly feel the influence of Guanshan Feidu on this film, Hawks' style is really polar opposite to that of Ford. Ford is very unrestrained, but Hawkes is extremely simple and restrained, with permanent mid-shots and long dialogues. The clean climax and the delay after the climax are really different from Ford. The film is also the opposite of Noon, a defense of the traditional Western and the spirit of the West. The movie leaves a lot of information and characterization in the dialogue. This influence on later generations of talkative films is absolutely decisive. Quentin's film is estimated to have been pulled countless times. In the whole group portrait, I really like the young man in Colorado. He doesn't have the stunned portrayal in other western movies, but he is quite calm and resolute. I personally appreciate the whole character design. And then there's the lame old man, and the one-liners are so funny.
