he is not a good man

Straight to the point, from the perspective of personal psychoanalysis, the film at Noon is not a hero at all, but an idealistic egomaniac. He regards himself as the god or savior of the small town, and he thinks it is the residents of the small town who are saved. However, he only used this as an excuse to solve his arrogant vanity and inner role conflict. The relationship between the town residents and the gangster is already obvious in the bar. In contrast, the relationship with the male protagonist is more hostile. When you see the gangster, there is no expression of fear, hatred or disgust. On the contrary, everyone is more affectionate towards the hero Kane. I feel disgusted, such a personality often regards himself as a good person, a good person, and a saint in social life, and often lacks thinking about social injustice and "draws a sword to help", causing poor people in society to be more pitiful, and cruel people even more cruel. From a political point of view, this is a movie about the downfall of the heroes of the West. It expresses the public's strong and excessive interference in social problems by the state machine, ignoring the public's own feelings, and forcing the public to take the risk of failure. The government uses positive energy as an excuse to satisfy selfish desires and ignore people's lives. vision, and despise some of those who oppose it with this political logic. From a legal point of view is it possible to take an emergency shelter before the train arrives because they are 100% going to murder the town's police officer Zeng Kane so it is dangerous. From a philosophical point of view, Kant, Heidegger, Foucault, Nietzsche flashed through the brain and none of them seemed to be able to conclude that he was a moral and upright hero.

    Anti-Western masterpiece. The whole film is edited according to 85 minutes of real time. The title of the film predicts that there will be a fierce battle at noon, which is equivalent to a time bomb detonating the countdown. The synchronous passage of time prompted by the repeated clock screen in the play gives the audience a strong impression. Substitution and excitement. As the plot progresses, the male protagonist's sheriff's attempts to recruit companions are repeatedly frustrated, making people chilling, angry and desperate. But at the end of the film, when the gang of residents of Qiantoucao town who were secretly observed swarmed out, the picture of the protagonist throwing the police badge coldly and then walking away is really heartwarming.

    148 is short, succinct, and engaging. The tension of Kane's isolation in the first hour is well established, and the final shootout is a bit weak.

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.
