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.
就是说再看一遍也真的好好看…看完漫画再回来重新看柱众会议，柱的形象一下就丰富饱满起来了。回看鬼灭的故事，有时候的确有点套路，但节奏真好啊，而且这个故事本身我真的很喜欢，人类的血肉之躯是如此脆弱，如此渺小，但又是如此伟大，如此坚强，才托举起明天的太阳来。
30岁前夕同样焦虑过，过了也就没感觉了。不太喜欢这种剪辑凌乱、直白抒情的风格，无法沉浸，但确实看得出才华横溢
为省时间看了鬼灭的TV合集，这是第三部，也是最后一部。主角与蜘蛛大战之后的复建，同时引入鬼杀队（好像是叫这个名字）和几个重点角色的介绍。轻松诙谐，主角团以外的几个长辈角色（柱，类似火影里的上忍）也塑造的不错，为下一部真正剧场版无限列车做铺垫
音乐剧人致敬音乐剧人，本片也改编自拉森的音乐剧自传。节奏和情绪演绎（真人与音乐段落跳接）很有趣，可惜没在大屏幕看，但感觉看现场最合适。印象最深是和女友争吵那场戏。
老生常谈冲奥片 可以看出背后所有人对音乐剧的热爱
以为是新内容 结果是鬼灭列车前篇 善逸 注意节制噢哈哈哈
2017年的奥斯卡，加菲的《血战钢锯岭》被前女友石头姐的《爱乐之城》吊打。如今自己也感受到了歌舞（音乐）片真香的感觉。This is real life!很羡慕主角这种还没到30岁就发现时间不够用的觉悟，虽然35岁就离开了，但留下了作品，总比到了40岁才醒悟强。因为加菲和女主有些像寡姐的缘故，总觉得是《爱乐之城》和《婚姻故事》的混合，观感也一直在四星和五星之间摇摆，感情线结束之后，后面的故事有点弱，可能是传记片人物原型如此，有种戛然而止的感觉。非常喜欢Come to Your Senses这首歌，但片尾的R&B唱法没有影片里一个声线磁性一个声线甜美的两个女声版有感觉。另外还有个红衣服的音乐人小姐姐表情也很可爱。
和醉乡民谣、爱乐之城相比，这部可能缺少些沉淀和让我感动激动的东西，歌词过于接地气，好听的歌曲不是太多，故事有点单薄。
加菲铁定至少拿个奥斯卡最佳男主提名吧，表现真的好棒。林聚聚第一次做导演还挺不错，在舞台和银幕之间掌握了平衡，这真的挺不容易的。
蛮好看的，音乐都很好听，最喜欢的居然是从正片里删掉的那首《green green dress》（笑）。片子在好的时候像是优质的音乐剧改编电影，露怯的时候又太像电影化程度不高的MV串烧。加菲的表演好的时候能给予角色独特的魅力，过火的时候又太用力过猛，确实蛮二傻子。这个电影比某几部乏味的片子更值得奥斯卡最佳影片提名。我个人给不出四星的原因在于，这片在立意上，依旧是“美国梦”主题创作的一个翻版，没有更多的深度。
一般吧，感觉还不如la la land 好看呢，就新加的第二幕那首歌那段还行，其他就普通。还是真事儿改编，他的牛逼我是一点没看出来，就觉得挺自私的。
Tick, Tick…Boom! 这个名字起得真好。乔纳森·拉森真赶稿狂人。要是少念几个「我马上就三十岁」就更好了。
加菲身上是不是有啥贵公子气质 每次我都跳戏 真实故事本身比电影还好哭 就有些失败 音乐也不是很好 但ticktickboom和lalaland真的有些好嗑
这部电影和林聚聚互相成就，很难说林聚聚没有在电影的创作过程中融入自己成名之前的生活经历，幸运的是林聚聚等到了Boom的时刻，而Jonathan Larson则没有，意难平。Andrew Garfield意外唱得不错，而且把那种中二又落魄的文艺青年演得特别可爱，对女朋友那么渣都让人恨不出来。。。
看完直观感受还是排音乐剧和拍电影真的不一样，说是剧院纪实我可能会更接受一些。没有看过视听量这么贫瘠的歌舞片，全程旁白驱动，毫无戏中戏的纵深，平行剪辑基本上被用成藏拙的手段，大量的时间花在了人物的推镜头、反应镜头和环绕镜头，空间的切分丝毫不能让人兴奋（想想《爆裂鼓手》怎么处理架子鼓演奏的），更不用说形成风格了...唯一能把这么多MV片段串在一起的也就是滴答声了。我想这部片证明了一个电影导演和戏剧导演最重要的区别，是对空间的感知，当摄影机把表演的分量削弱后，导演需要调度的是一个世界。
EP.6-10 《浅草篇》
孤独的乔尼将走向黑暗 留下的是那隽久的乐章，人们仿佛要穿越时光 去窥探那场最后的盛宴。
《鬼灭之刃 灶门炭治郎 立志篇》Ep22-26，炭治郎和善逸、伊之助疗伤修炼的轻松故事，下一站：无限列车
狠狠破防了，年龄租房情感健康…30年前的焦虑和今天仿佛都一样，电影版丝毫没有逊色于音乐剧版，不励志也不悲情，梦想不是许个愿就能实现，除了把一切所见编成歌的才华还要有足够的耐心，工作和朋友不会背叛你，成功之前的样子也会有人记得，Sunday太多Hamilton老熟人，最喜欢的当然是30/90、Come to your senses和Green green dress，快把奥斯卡小金人给林聚聚和加菲吧，不然又是一年意难平，所幸网飞的公关似乎比犬之力上心得多
