While surveying a telegraph line in 1861, Western Union engineer Edward Creighton (Dean Jagger) is severely injured in an accident. He is discovered by Vance Shaw (Randolph Scott), an outlaw on the run from a posse. Forced to travel on foot after his horse was hurt, Shaw at first considers stealing Creighton's horse, but changes his mind and takes the man with him, saving his life.
Sometime later, following his recovery, Creighton returns to Omaha, Nebraska and plans the construction of a telegraph line from Omaha to Salt Lake City, Utah. Facing considerable opposition to the line from Confederate soldiers, Indians, and outlaws, Creighton elicits the help of his sister Sue (Virginia Gilmore), foreman Pat Grogan (Minor Watson), and assistant Homer Kettle (Chill Wills).
Looking to put his outlaw past behind him, Shaw arrives at Creighton's Western Union office looking for honest work and is hired as a scout by Grogan who is unaware of his past. Creighton recognizes him among the men and allows him to stay despite his suspicions. Creighton also hires tenderfoot Richard Blake (Robert Young), a Harvard-educated engineer as a favor to Blake's father. Shaw and Blake are both attracted to Sue and vie for her attention, but their romantic rivalry is cut short when construction of the telegraph line starts on July 4, 1861.
After work commences on the line, one of the men is killed apparently by a mysterious band of cattle-rustling Indians. Unconvinced that Indians are to blame, Shaw rides out to investigate and follows the rustlers' trail to the camp of Jack Slade, a former friend and cohort, whose gang committed the killing disguised as Indians—the gang Shaw left following his last bank robbery. Slade reveals that they are working for the Confederacy to disrupt Western Union because they believe the telegraph service will help the Union. Shaw rides away and returns to the line. Not wanting to turn in his former friends, Shaw tells Creighton that a large band of Dakota Indians stole the cattle, and recommends that they simply replace the herd and not risk a fight with the Indians.
Sometime later, a confrontation takes place between men working on the forward line and a band of drunken Indians. When one of the Indians tries to steal some equipment, a nervous Blake shoots him, ignoring Shaw's order to remain calm. After word arrives that the main camp is under attack by other Indians, the Western Union men rush back to help with the defense. At the main camp, Slade's men, who are again disguised as Indians, steal the Western Union horses. The company discover the ruse when one of the wounded Indians turns out to be a white man. Forced to buy back their stolen horses from Slade, Creighton becomes suspicious of Shaw's involvement, especially when he admits to knowing the gang.
Soon the U.S. Army arrives and announces the Indians have now refused to allow the telegraph lines to go through their territory in response to Blake's shooting of the drunken Indian. Creighton, Shaw, and Blake ride out to convince Chief Spotted Horse to allow them to build the line through Indian territory, even though the man Blake wounded was Spotted Horse's son. Creighton is finally able to persuade the Indians to allow them passage, and work continues until the company approaches Salt Lake City.
Sometime later, Shaw receives word that Jack Slade wants to meet with him. On the way to see Slade, Shaw is captured and bound by Slade's men. Slade says his group is going to burn down the Western Union camp and they don't want Shaw to interfere. After Slade and his men ride off, Shaw escapes from his ropes but arrives back too late to prevent the fire. He helps rescue some of the Western Union men from the flames and burns his hands in the process.
After the fire, Creighton confronts Shaw for an explanation, but Shaw does not reveal what he knows and is fired by Creighton. As Shaw leaves the camp, he tells Blake that Slade is actually Shaw's brother and that he, Shaw, will find Slade's gang and stop them from interfering with the telegraph project. Shaw rides off and finds Slade and his men in a nearby town. At the barber shop, Shaw confronts his brother, whose gun is concealed under the barber's sheet. Slade shoots Shaw through the sheet. Shaw fights back in spite of his wound, killing some of the gang members, and then dies. Blake arrives and continues the fight with Slade who dies from his wounds. Soon after, the Western Union line is completed and the workers celebrate. When Sue laments the absence of Shaw, Creighton tells her that Shaw can hear them.
3.6 温柔啊，让人感觉是用心思考过的产出。受采的大小朋友有对人际关系的感知，有自我认知，有思辨能力，这些和结尾一起让我感到心软，kids tend to think freely，成年人会有很多时刻需要这些天马行空又有点道理的想法来治愈。也很喜欢通篇对声音的处理。母亲去世这条线有点抽离，似乎也可以带出妹妹的情绪问题吧。（看一半被抓去防疫两天后回来看完也是一个神奇体验）
4.孩子的成长，也是父母的成长
7 迫使你不断思考，不纠结于场景，集中于对话和人物。
黑白的畫面彷彿是現今灰濛蒙的疫情世界，但大人和小朋友還是可以互相慰藉。
把一个叔叔照顾侄儿的故事拍得这么……感人细腻
这父子俩都有点AS。。。 C'mon C'mon在电影里不是努力，雄起的意思嘛
声画分离、跳切的手法有种马力克的味道。节奏舒缓，对人物的刻画非常细腻动人，看完觉得时间过得真快。有时候你觉得小孩（他人）不可理喻只是因为你没有心平气和地站在他的角度去考虑和感受，坚持真诚、温和、耐心对待身边的人，你会收获同样的关怀。临近结尾的两场戏戳中了我，想起了之前被坏情绪压得透不过气的自己，潸然泪下。其实很多时候我们只需要承认自己不开心，合理地发泄一下，给堵塞的心灵开一扇窗。
片名其实翻译作《说出来吧》或者《发泄出来》更合适，纽约，雨天，9岁男孩儿和fun uncle突如其来的播客之旅记录童年。失意中年人希望从孩子们的童言无忌中找到答案。“我爱你你爱我但我们永远不可能百分百理解彼此”估计是年度最佳母子关系宣言～
Could be an urban prose, a nostalgic tale, a coming-of-age story, or mostly a sincere record of the intangible/invisible around our lives. 走走停停，兜兜转转，c’mon c’mon是向前看时候的一次深呼吸。
2.一个采访的老头/叔叔，帮忙带前妻和她现任丈夫的儿子，这儿子屁事多，放中国根本不可能发生，多半算溺爱了，但是美国人就是这样，强调自尊、自由，即使是小孩，也有自由，也能得到大人的尊重和平等对待，所以美国人太自由、大胆，中国的家庭教育也应该适度照顾孩子的完整人格，尤其是现在的孩子懂事得很早，大人少强加意志给孩子，要和孩子平等沟通，要把孩子当成有民事行为能力的人来看待，多解释多沟通
絮絮叨叨的心灵鸡汤，很容易看无聊...华金的演技自不必说。小演员演的也很好，两人的互动太可爱！
我总是跟小丑串戏，那个眼神给我印象太深了。结构看着松散，展开当中表达了比较丰富的内涵，我看完更没有信心去带一个孩子，我觉得我会没耐心，会控制不住情绪，最终会放任其自由发展。
Wilmette Theater。像Joaquin Phoenix会接的戏（他似乎一直对next generation的生活状态抱有一种悲观主义）一些纪录片技法+声效的运用挺有趣 大小两主演演技极好。黑白美则美也 意义似乎不大 浮于表面形式。不论从剧作 呈现形式 还是主题意义上都略显肤浅。片子像一个休闲下午随意喝了杯淡淡的气泡酒 喝完易忘 甚至不打嗝儿。
Very beautiful, if only we all had amazing adventures and amazing people like these when we were growing up. There will be so much for you to learn and feel, things you would have never expected to happen:)) also, I miss California and New Orleans so much.
eh,i just fucking hate children.
不同的城市烙印着不同的故事，黑白的画面让这温暖的故事变成永恒
8分 2022.01.16 一部很舒服的电影 可以慢慢的品 杰昆和小演员演的很棒 带孩子真是好难
电影的趣味点在于 一边采访不同的孩子 一边和一个真实的孩子相处 采访是碎片化的 旁观者式的 因此可以保持一种轻松 毕竟只是工作 但和真实的孩子相处 需要全情投入 片刻不离 了解他的行为以及心理状态 这是无可避免的压力 男主角似乎是一直在逃避亲密关系的人 但这一次无法逃避自己侄子 两人常常处于一种“交锋” 但交锋也有治愈部分 全程黑白摄影+伪纪录片使电影有着很好的人文氛围和影调 但人物关系处理偶尔有些刻意成分 whatever 本片观感还是很好
3.5。故事性有点弱哦。可是叔侄俩的戏份又是那么温馨。肥华好温柔哦 不断沟通不停思考 大概是我们成长的必需品
