I love the films that were made many years ago, I adore them for the simple fact that we did not have the technology that we can currently enjoy and that make things a little easier for us.
These films cause me too much intrigue, recently I posted a similar post about a lost movie. Greetings, you have my upvote.
It's amazing that we have over 100 years of films to choose from. I try my best to watch stuff from all eras, even silent films. Maybe I should do a post about a silent film soon.
Yes, we have enough to choose from. Make a publication like that, I'll be careful, I really like the subject.
This is a great post. Although I feel the film has perhaps aged a little in the modern age, its themes are still very engaging warranting numerous spin offs. I found One False Move to be a good "adaptation". I would love to know your opinion on Howard Hawks' Rio Bravo, and whether you agree with his and John Wayne's convictions that Will Kane appeared cowardly.
Thanks! I haven't seen either of those movies yet. I should have mentioned John Wayne's comments. I think his opinion may have been mentioned in one of the links I used for reference. It seems odd to call him cowardly when he was about the only one in town who stood up to them. He put the man in jail to begin with. At the same time, it wouldn't have been wrong to leave town.
Edit: Thinking about this more, I think it says something about the expectations people have of a hero. They should be brave enough to fight off multiple aggressors without needing the help of the people they are protecting. But in a realistic world it really would be suicide. Is there anything wrong with being afraid? What about his deputy who turns in his badge out of a perceived grudge he thinks Kane has against him? Wouldn't he be the coward? I guess I forgot to mention their fight in the plot summary. I guess he at least tried to save Kane there.
Congratulations on such an awesome film review (or analysis), and also on the handsome payout.
I've never seen the movie, though now I really feel like it. There are so many issues touched upon. I believe, people in general care about themselves more than anything (quite naturally). But being shortsighted, they may do things that are not in their best interest. Who cares if the marshal is a "good guy" or a "fascist" even a "mobster" from a criminal gang? Someone's gonna enforce their idea of the law. And what's the law anyway? Something passed down from "the north" or "Washington"? Or something me and my neighbors get to decide on our own? Why go and die for a far away ideal? Talking about ideals, if I have to break the principles I believe in (such as killing people), for whatever reason that's strong and compounding, it matters little if I break other principles (such as shooting them in the back).
Yeah, now I really want to watch this film, trying to see what the writer / director was thinking when they made it. From your review it sounds highly interesting
Thanks. This is only the second time I've seen it. I liked the tension in it the first time I watched it. I like writing out my thoughts as it helps me better understand a movie. That's an odd thing about law in these towns. In some way the town decided they were better off just living with a criminal gang rather than go through the trouble of sending them off to a justice system that sends them right back. Perhaps their own brand of law will come into play if the Miller gang goes too far. I identify more with Amy the Quaker, even when she breaks from principles. I believe in non-violence but beliefs only go so far when you or your loved ones are threatened.

Please stop spamming my posts. I put links to minnow booster in my post so everyone knows I use it. You also use Minnow booster to buy steem power so stop trying to bully other people out of using the same services you have also used and promoted in the past. You claim everybody knows this but you only mention this when you are called out on your hypocrisy. I spend hours working on my posts and don't post low effort low quality content like half the crap getting bigger payouts.
