High Noon Film Analysis

In 1952 there were multiple fantastic films that made it a close competition for best picture. I narrowed down my list of movies to The Quiet Man, High Noon, and The Greatest Show on Earth. I narrowed it down to these three because Moulin Rouge and Ivanhoe did not perform up to the standards it needed to have a chance at best picture. By thoroughly evaluating these films it has been determined that The Greatest Show on Earth clearly deserved to win its best picture award becuase of its emotional scenes, creative film techniques, and an impactful ending with a twist.
All three of these films were very entertaining in their own unique way. High Noon was full of action in a wild west shoot out, but lacked to keep my attention for the first majority
It was revolutionary to have such a different way of viewing a film between judging the characters by both their dialogue and their actions for long periods of time during their performances. It felt like a musical although it had no singing in the way that you could judge and feel for each individual character as they performed. High Noon and The Quiet Man were both good but they were not anything drastically different from other films of the era. They had many high and low angle shots and lighting to distinguish the good from the bad. Although the characters were understandable, there was never really a clear deeper meaning that could be scene from the film techniques like they did in The Greatest Show on Earth.
The ending of all of these films were all very strong. High noon and The Quiet man both ended with action scenes mixed with fighting over their loved ones which ended up in a happy ever after scene. The Greatest Show on Earth was a much different ending but it was definitely one to remember. The movie had another huge unexpected moment near the end which made this movie so unpredictable and even more interesting in rethinking what was going to happen now that everything has changed all of the
