High Noon

High Noon was released in 1952. It is not your typical western though. Most westerns did not have a main story to them. They would be mostly just shooting which meant this was new to the western scene.
High Noon is one of those westerns that are filled with suspense. While watching High Noon you could feel the suspense of the scene coming on because of the type of music that was playing. Although there was one song that they kept playing over and over again. The song was Do Not Forsake Me, My Darling by Tex Ritter. It was quite catchy and every time it would come on I would get drawn in by its old western sound. It almost makes me wanna cry for some reason.
High Noon is one of those westerns that are actually not that bad to watch since they have a story line to it.
Back in the day I'm sure High Noon was "Da Bomb" so to speak. It was a revelation to how westerns were portrayed. Never before had there been more of a story compared to just shooting with good VS. bad. The extra story lines gave this movie an extra twist. You wanted to know what was going to happen between Mr. and Mrs. Kane and whether or not all we turn out well.
For this movie I would have to give it 4 gunslingers out of 5. I believe that is a great western plus it has a catchy tune. I recommend watching it if you are a fan of westerns.

Citizen Kane

Citizen Kane is about a man who is rich from a very young age. With this money comes the responsibility of spending it wisely and making the right choices. When he is just a small boy he is taken from his parents to be raised by someone who can manage his money. He is not allowed to touch this money till he becomes an adult. With this, he grows up with out any proper love and spends his whole life searching for it. When he dies he say his famous last word of Rosebud and everyone wants to know what it means. "Rosebud" is the mystery of the whole movie with a reporter searching into Kane's previous life to figure it out.
Although Citizen Kane is titled to be one of America's greatest films. My thought on that title is that maybe for its time it was one of America's greatest films but it is not any more. Citizen Kane is good for a classic but I would not watch it unless I had to. I guess if you wanted to watch a classic this would be a good one to start with because it does have some technological advancements for its time. The one scene that really sticks out in my mind is a scene where Kane is walking in front of a mirror and you see his reflections continue because there is a mirror on both sides of him. This truly shows how lonely he is and really gives emotion to the scene.


My complete rating for this movie is decent. I didn't really care for it but it is a classic and to truly call yourself a movie expert you have to watch them. I rate this movie 5 out of 10 lonely Charles Foster Kanes.
