More than a hundred years ago, in the vast wasteland of the central United States, there was still such a social situation: a few lawless gangsters could dominate horizontally, and everyone was afraid. It will take the joint efforts of many generations of just "pointy-headed man" and the general public before the local people can enter a society governed by the rule of law. The film praises the heroic spirit and behavior of Sheriff Kane in order to maintain justice and uphold justice, even if there is no helper, he still fights with gangsters in gun battles as always. This spirit and behavior is also a driving force for society to move forward. A boy of fourteen who pretended to be sixteen told Kane that he was willing to follow him. This is the film that shows that although Kane has no helpers in his actions, his spirit of insisting on justice and fighting against evil will be inherited by future generations. This film can be said to be the most exciting and touching of the many American Westerns that describe the struggle between good and evil and focus on gunfights, and the performance of the famous actor Gary Cooper was also very good. But when Kane and his wife killed the leading bandit, the whole town went out to the street to celebrate, Kane was about to take his wife back to the carriage and leave, he hung the I took off the badge, not to put it back at the police station, but to throw it on the ground. I don't understand why the director of the film did this.

The only significance is that after the upgrade of monsters, you and your wife have discarded the old stale values ​​[8]

    Bravery is not necessarily rational, rationality is not necessarily smart, kindness is neither brave nor smart. — Breaking away from the traditional pursuit of the integration of these "virtues", a disapproved would-be believer fights a criminal who escapes punishment alone, and the ultimate help is still It comes from social relations recognized by traditional concepts. In the post-Civil War era, the inner collision of the American spirit emerges in a small New Mexico town. He left the dust and went to America elsewhere. A solid theatre tradition.

High Noon quotes

  • Martin: You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If you're honest you're poor your whole life and in the end you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star.

  • Will: I've got to, that's the whole thing.
