Back then, I watched this film very accidentally. Just to sign in for my classmates, I took a film and television appreciation class. The first film that the teacher showed was precisely this "Noon". At that time, I didn’t know the greatness of this film, just for the sake of I insisted on signing in between classes, and then I finished watching the 85 minutes quietly. I remember that the teacher of the liberal arts college reminded me that this film was the first real-time film in film history before the screening, and the 85 minutes of the film is the actual 85 minutes. Although the taste of the other films he played was very poor, I still have to thank him, otherwise, with my perceptual ability at that time, I would never experience these when watching movies. Later when I watched "24 Hours", I would be proud to say that this is a big deal. Your ancestors used it 50 years ago~ Yes, even though 50 years have passed, the American elites in film and television We changed season after season. King Kong has climbed to the Empire State Building. The film still needs clocks as important narrative props for such films. Only the difference from the big clock to the electronic timer shows the difference between the two eras. This difference reminds us of the advancement and greatness of "Noon" from time to time.

    The sheriff wants to do something that everyone thinks is right but no one dares to do, but no one wants to take this loss. And when the sheriff suffered this loss, but unfortunately didn't give his life as much as they thought, it was naturally time to praise the sheriff's bravery again. But since the sheriff has eaten up all the losses, what are you going to do? The characters in the film are deeply portrayed, and the current film is not comparable.

    Not as expected. . Known as one of the most classic westerns, I thought it would be the same as the Once Upon a Time in the West and the Red Dead series. The screen is full of shots of cowboys in Martin boots chewing tobacco leaves, but the actual picture is a quiet town and a gradual The clock approaching noon. A very ironic film noir, the sheriff has protected a western town for many years, and he can't rest assured for a few days on his honeymoon, but when the enemy comes to the door, no one dares to help him. There is only one child willing to protect him. When I see it, I often think of "A Murder Case Publicized Beforehand". The indifference and selfishness that are unconsciously amplified by the group are somewhat familiar, and it is also one of the social issues that are often discussed now. At the end, his wife's support was so handsome, and the sheriff threw the police badge on the ground in disgust in public.

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.
