"Noon" box office, cost unknown. Low-cost movie (shooting took only 28 days). Not released in China. Film type: Western. Director: Fred Kinneman. Production country: United States. Released in 1952.
As a film in 1952, the most touching thing is the performance of the actors. Although it is a movie 70 years ago, the character performance is almost mature, and the expression of facial expressions has been more precise and delicate. It is enough to explain the gap in the development of Chinese and American films.
The main line design of the story is very classic. Sheriff Kane summoned everyone to fight the gangsters who are about to arrive (4 people expected). I have worked so hard but only got 2 helpers. But at the last moment, it was discovered that the number of gangsters had increased to six, and the two helpers had left because of fear, leaving only one sergeant, which was one enemy six. Sheriff Kane killed 4 gangsters alone. At this moment, the new wife of the sheriff who ran away and returned turned into a hostage to the gangster Miller. The design of the film is that after Sheriff Kane was forced to abandon her gun and surrender, the sheriff's wife, who was let go by the gangster, shot and killed the gangster when the gangster was about to kill the sheriff.
The bug in the movie is a 14-year-old boy who voluntarily invites him in the latter part of the movie. Because of his young age, he was rejected by the sheriff as a helper. If this role is to appear, it should be used later, such as letting the little boy shoot and kill the gangster at a critical moment. Either it shouldn't show up. If I were the director, I would let the sheriff kill three gangsters himself, but was about to be shot by the fourth gangster. The gangster was killed by the little boy from upstairs at the very moment. The sheriff’s wife’s setting for shooting the fifth gangster remains unchanged. It not only increases the credibility of the film, but also makes the film full of unexpected surprises.
The dialogue of the video is very sophisticated. There are very few superficial questions and answers that go straight,It's a rather interesting frustration.
In the film, the sociable said: You are a handsome boy with broad shoulders, but he (Sergeant Kane) is a man. It's not that people with broad shoulders are men.
This movie is said to have been liked by many American presidents. Eisenhower watched the film no fewer than three times in the White House. Clinton has been screened at the White House about 20 times in eight years. He said: This film is about having courage in the face of danger, regardless of the fact that you have to pay all costs. One person should do what he thinks is the right thing (I don't know if Lewinsky counts). Ironically, he even recommended this film to Bush during the handover. Bush Jr. once saw "Noon" in the White House and gave the film poster to the visiting Japanese Prime Minister.
Through the words of the heroine, the film expresses another perspective and another point of view: love is the only way to change everything. But these endless struggles for land, race, money, and vanity. Can these be resolved only through battle? This film is highly praised by the President of the United States. It is really funny.
A plot in the play reminds me of Meng Wanzhou . In order to resist Miller, the gangster who will be released from prison, someone proposed to arrest Miller's three accomplices in the station tavern. The sheriff said that they did not break the law, so why should they be arrested? This person said, then we will introduce a law: It is forbidden to wander around the station. If you agree, please raise your hand. For a moment everyone raised their hands. This absurd thing was rejected by the sheriff. But from this we think of Meng Wanzhou, as well as the various long-arm jurisdiction laws in the United States-the law is sometimes the same thing.
