<h1>Stagecoach</h1>
Also known as the "stagecoach", it is a black-and-white film with western themes released in 1939, directed by Western master John Ford. The characters and scenes in the film are quite similar to the French writer Maupassant's novel "Lamb Fat Ball" (the plot of the film is originally the novel "Stagecoach to Roseburg") - several people from different social classes gathered in a small carriage, facing many crises, revealing their true humanity. The film was also remade by Gordon Douglas in 1966 and Ted Post in 1986. In the history of Westerns, "Guan Shan FeiDu" is also considered to be a work that lays the standard for the advantages and disadvantages of similar films, and it can be said that without watching "Guan Shan Fei Du", you have not really appreciated the charm of Westerns. Director Ford created the modern Western in the "adventure + social introspection" model, and conveyed the belief that in all the wildlands, salvation is possible.
<h1>High Noon</h1>
Filmed in 1952, known as the first "adult" Western, the film is mainly about the protagonist encountering an old enemy who comes to seek revenge on the eve of the wedding, and under the pressure of not being understood by the whole town and the bride, the lonely protagonist needs to face everything alone, the film has an extremely strong tension and dramatic conflict, and is political and strong social significance.
<h1>The Searchers</h1>
Released in 1956, it was also by John Ford, the director of "Off the Mountain". "The Searcher" is not only a traditional Western cowboy film, but also contains rich ideological connotations, and the protagonist's persistent pursuit and killing of Indian enemies serves as a clue to string together the whole story. When he finally found his niece, who had been separated for many years and integrated into the Indians, the niece was no longer willing to follow him back to white society. By telling such a story, the film set a precedent for serious reflection on the relationship between whites and Indians, and at the same time, the film is also one of the works that the famous director Spielberg loves and admires very much.
<h1>Sunset On The Wild Bunch</h1>
Released in 1969 by the master of violent aesthetics, Sam Perkinfa, Sunset Sands tells the story of a group of young outlaws who attempt to take a big vote and end up in a devastating killing. Multi-camera shooting, rapid editing and other techniques have been flexibly used by the director to create a freehand gunfight picture, and scenes such as explosions without special effects are even more moving. This is a Western film full of strong jianghu atmosphere and fatalistic flavor, and its director Sam Perkinfa's film aesthetic concept has also been learned by later Quentin, Wu Yusen and Du Qifeng, and the violent aesthetic film has been carried forward.
<h1>Django Unchained, who was rescued</h1>
Fading away from the older Westerns, we finally look at a movie that is very close to today, "Django Rescued", which was released in 2012 and in China the following year. The film is a tribute to director Quentin to the Italian film Django, but the two works are essentially unconnected. The story tells the story of Django, a black slave, who fought valiantly to liberate himself and his wife, and combined elements such as the Civil War, the bounty hunter and the black slave to form a mix-and-match Western, which is also considered to be Quentin's move closer to commercial films. It is worth mentioning that the villain played by Leonardo, the former male god of the past generation, played in the film is extremely in place, and it has received praise from fans.
