different from a male point of focus. Although both High Noon by Fred Zinnemann and “Madonna of the Prairie” by William Koerner convey the Western life of a pioneer woman,  Director Fred Zinnemann depicts a western woman who breaks away from western morals and values to do the right thing, whereas Artist William Koerner depicts an authentic pioneer woman who stays within her morals as a western woman. In the film High Noon by Fred Zinnemann, Will Kane finds himself personally compelled to duel his enemy

very willing to support. They were like the townspeople in High Noon. They didn’t want to risk their own reputation and safety. In the film, Zinnemann successfully revealed the hardships of those falsely convicted, and exposed the hearts of those who saw the false conviction, but did nothing about it in order to protect themselves. Directed by Fred Zinnemann, this thrilling motion picture’s main character is a marshal named Cain, played by the actor Gary Cooper. He’s asked by the townspeople to relocate

For my at home movie I watched Hang em’ High directed by Ted Post. It is considered a spaghetti western that was made in America. In comparison to the film we watched in class, High Noon directed by Fred Zinnemann. These two westerns had many similarities and differences. From differences in how the movie was actually shot, to the similarity of how both of the main characters are loners, these two movies connect all over on many different levels. High Noon was the story of a very brave man, Will

An eerie flute sounds in the distance. Smack dab in the center of, let’s call it, “A Staple Town in the Wild West™” are two cowboys in the midst of a head to head shootout for God knows what- a spilled drink, malicious comments, a poached lover. The piercing mix of sand and wind scathing your skin, eyes blinded by the high noon sun shining from above, and of course, the token roll of tumbleweed barely in your line of eyesight. “One… two… three… Shoot!” The hero always prevails... quite disparate

A Man for All Seasons, directed by Fred Zinnemann, is a true depiction of the struggles that Sir Thomas Moore faced in sixteenth century England. His struggles with King Henry VIII and the corruption within the Catholic Church. The actors in this film accurately portrayed the characters in emotion, manners, and speech. The costumes aided in the overall vision of the film and were most definitely accurate for that time period. Orson Welles greasy portrayal of the Cardinal Wolsey was most definitely

agree with is “High Noon isn't really a masterpiece, and if you're a fan of more honest Westerns, it's hard not to notice Zinnemann's general lack of interest throughout” (Anderson, 11). A western movie shouldn't have the same plot repeated over. Zinnemann just put his own unique twist on the western just like everyone else should. Not only that, we don’t know what a western town was actually like back in the day. So his movie could have been 100 percent accurate western movie for all we know. In the

Above anything else, they are brave and courageous. Often they have no attachments to family. Furthermore, the Western hero is emphatically not part of civilization or society, though society may need him. In the classic film High Noon directed by Fred Zinneman, Will Kane appears to follow the role of a ‘western hero’, however, as the film progresses its characters diversify. Everything about Will Kane shouts hero. William meaning, "resolute protector” describes Kane perfectly. Which is why it is

The stasis of High Noon is introduced through the opening scene at the outskirts of Hadleyville in the plains and the film is shot in a high contrast black and white. It is in the morning and the sun is high in the clear sky. In the dry plains, seemingly located in the middle of nowhere, we see the cowboy James Pierce with his horse, who waits on top of a rock, near several trees. In the distance, we see another cowboy, Jack Colby, riding his horse through the plains towards the waiting cowboy. Jack

How does one define greatness, is it on how much you express yourself? No! Says the billionaire, greatness, is determined by the amount of wealth you acquire in your life. No! Says the priest, it’s defined by how much you commit your life to god. No! Says your country, greatness is how much you give to your country. Becoming great is a thing that most desire, yet most don’t know what being great really means. We are born in the mentality that some people are great such as the president or comic book

and what makes a fundamentalist differentiate from a terrorist. For some people, categorizing Westboro Baptist Church as a fundamentalist group could be quite the stretch. Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, is a church that was founded by Fred Phelps in 1955. As previously mentioned, this group is known for their hate speeches and preaches against all form of sin such as homosexuality, adultery, divorced, and remarriage.4 These sins are listed in the bible and shouldn’t be committed but
