The Big Showdown - to Yuma

James Mangold 's " to Yuma" restores the wounded heart of the Western and Three-Ten to Yuma it from the morass of pointless violence. The Western Three-Ten to Yuma its glory Three-Ten to Yuma was often a morality play, a story about humanist values penetrating the lawless anarchy of the frontier. It still follows that tradition in films like Eastwood's " Unforgiven ," but the audience's appetite for morality plays and Westerns seems to be fading. Here the quality of the acting, and the Three-Ten to Yuma behind the film, make it seem like a vanguard of something new, even though it's a remake of a good movie 50 years old. The plot is so easily told that Elmore Leonard originally wrote it as a short story. It's going badly, made worse Three-Ten to Yuma a neighboring bully who wants to force him off his land. The territory still fears Indian raids, and just as much the lawless gang led by Ben Wade Russell Crowewhich sticks up stagecoaches, robs banks, casually murders people and outguns any opposition. Through a series of developments that seem almost dictated by fate, Dan Evans finds himself as part of a posse sworn in to escort Wade, captured and handcuffed, to the nearby town of Contention, where the p. Both Dan and Ben have elements in their characters that come under test in this adventure. Dan fears he Three-Ten to Yuma lost the Three-Ten to Yuma of wife Alice Gretchen Mol and teenage son Will Logan Lermanwho doubt he can make the ranch work. Still less does Alice see why her transplanted Eastern husband should risk his life as a volunteer. The son Will, who has practically memorized dime novels about Ben Wade, idealizes the outlaw, and when Dan realizes the boy has followed the posse, he is not pleased. Wade intuits, however, that the boy is following him, and not his father. That's an insight into Three-Ten to Yuma. He plays his persona Three-Ten to Yuma a performance. He draws, reads, philosophizes, is incomparably smarter than the scum in his gang. Having spent untold time living on the run with them, he may actually find it refreshing to spend time with Dan, even as his captive. Eventually Three-Ten to Yuma two men end up in a room in the Contention hotel, overlooking the street, in earshot of the train whistle, surrounded outside by armed men who want to rescue Ben or kill him. These general outlines also describe the version of " to Yuma," directed by , starring and Van Heflin in the roles of Three-Ten to Yuma rancher and the outlaw. The movie, with its railroad timetable, followed the slowly advancing clock Three-Ten to Yuma "" and was compared to it; when I Three-Ten to Yuma it in 35mm at Telluride in the s, I thought it was better than "High Noon," not least because of the personality shifts Three-Ten to Yuma involves. Mangold's version is better still than the original, because it has better actors with more thought behind their dialogue. Christian Bale plays not simply a noble hero, but a man who has avoided such risks as he now takes and is almost at a loss to explain why he is bringing a killer to justice, except that having been mistreated and feeling unable to provide for his family, he is fed up and here he takes his stand. Crowe, however, plays not merely a merciless killer, although he is that, too, but a man also capable of surprising himself. He is too intelligent to have only one standard behavior which must fit all situations, and is perhaps bored of having that expected of him. Westerns used to be the showcases of great character actors, of whom I was lucky enough to meet Dub TaylorJack ElamChill Wills, Ben Johnson and, when she wasn't doing a million other things, Shelley Winters. Peter Fonda plays McElroy, a professional bounty hunter who would rather claim the price on Ben Wade's head than let the government execute him for free. And Ben Foster plays Charlie Prince, the second-in-command of Wade's gang, who seems half in love with Wade, or maybe Charlie's half-aware that's he's all in love. Wade would know which, and wouldn't care, except as material for his study of human nature. Three- Ten to Yuma in the hotel room, surrounded by death for one or the other, the two men begin to talk. Without revealing anything of the plot, let me speculate that each senses he has found the first man he has met in years who is his equal in conversation. Crowe and Three-Ten to Yuma play this dialogue so precisely that it never reveals itself for Three-Ten to Yuma it really is, a testing of mutual insight. One trial of a great actor is the ability to let dialogue do its work invisibly, something you can also see in next week's " In the Valley of Elah " with Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron. Too many actors are like the guy who laughs at his own joke and then tells it to you again. James Mangold first came into view with an extraordinary movie named " Heavy " To remake " to Yuma" seems an odd choice after such Three-Ten to Yuma modern films as " Girl, Interrupted ," but the movie itself proves he had a good reason for choosing it. In hard times, Americans have often turned to the Western to reset their compasses. In very hard times, it takes a very good Western. Attend well to Ben Wade's last words in this movie, and who he says them to, and why.

It was also recorded by Sandy Denny in In the Arizona Territory of the s, rancher Dan Evans and his two sons witness a stagecoach holdup. The younger boy asks his father if Three-Ten to Yuma is going to intervene, but Dan says that it would be useless to act, being so heavily outnumbered.

The lawman gathers Three-Ten to Yuma posse and Wade instructs his men to ride across the border, and he will join them later. He stays to seduce the pretty barmaid, Emmy. Contrary to his casual violence toward men, Wade shows real tenderness and affection for the lonely woman. The posse meets up with Dan and the stage-line owner, Mr. Butterfield, who inform the marshal and company that the cowhands back in town were actually Wade and his men. They talk over a plan before heading back to town. Charlie Prince, Wade's chief henchman, returns and tells Wade "there's a fella comin' down the Three-Ten to Yuma. This is Dan, who enters the saloon to engage Wade in conversation about monetary reimbursement for working time he lost because of Three-Ten to Yuma stagecoach hold-up. As they are engaged, the marshal and other men come in from behind and arrest Wade. Charlie Prince, shot in the hand when he comes upon some of Three-Ten to Yuma posse, manages Three-Ten to Yuma ride away to give the news to the rest of the gang. The local people fear what his men Three-Ten to Yuma do, so the marshal decides to have two volunteers sneak the prisoner to Contention City to catch a train, the to Yuma. Desperate for cash after three years of drought and feeling disappointed in himself for not being able to provide his family with a better life, Dan jumps at the opportunity. The only other man interested is the town drunk, Alex Potter. When no one else steps forward, the marshal reluctantly accepts him. Wade is placed on a stagecoach, which then stops in view of some of the gang for a faked repair; the outlaw is secretly taken off while Three-Ten to Yuma stage continues on with an imposter, in the hope that, by the time Wade's men figure out what has happened, it will be too late. Wade is taken to Dan's ranch, where Dan's devoted wife Alice serves supper to the family and Wade. Dan's sons berate the outlaw, but Alice insists that they show proper hospitality to their "guest". Once again, Wade displays genuine appreciation and respect for a hard-working woman, while trying and momentarily succeeding Three-Ten to Yuma charm Alice - in private, Dan chides her for accepting Wade's flirtation. Dan, Alex and Wade leave under cover of darkness, reaching Three-Ten to Yuma City at daybreak. Butterfield has reserved the bridal suite at the hotel. While they wait for the train, Wade tries several times to bribe Dan into letting him go, reminding Three-Ten to Yuma that he has a fine wife and family waiting for him. Dan is irritated by Wade's inducements, especially Wade's comments about his wife, but he is greatly tempted by his offers of cash that "no one will ever Three-Ten to Yuma about". Confident that his men will rescue him before he's taken to the train, Wade never shows anything but calm bemusement to his captor. His interest in Dan seems to go beyond a simple exchange of freedom for cash. The local sheriff is out of town, so Butterfield hires five men to help escort the prisoner to the train. Things go awry when the slain stagecoach driver's brother, Bob Moons, barges in seeking revenge. Dan wrestles his gun away, but in the struggle it goes off. Charlie Prince, in town as part of an arrangement the gang implements anytime any one of them is arrested, hears the gunshot and spots Wade in a window. He rides off to fetch his cohorts. Three-Ten to Yuma men Butterfield recruited watch as seven outlaws enter the town. Not liking the odds, they retreat, leaving only Dan, Alex and Butterfield. When Alex goes out to reconnoitre he spots one of Wade's men on a rooftop opposite the hotel. Three-Ten to Yuma calls out, warning Dan, but is shot in the back by Prince. The gang hangs the wounded Alex from the lobby chandelier, killing him. Butterfield decides that Wade is no longer worth the risk, offering to release Dan from his obligation, with pay. Alice arrives Three-Ten to Yuma also tries to change her husband's mind, but he is committed: "The town drunk gave his life because he believed that people should be able to live in decency and peace together. You think I can do Three-Ten to Yuma When the clock strikes three, Dan takes Wade out a back door. Gang members take shots whenever they can without endangering Wade, but despite their best efforts they cannot stop the pair from reaching the track side, where the train is just arriving. Finally, the outlaws emerge to confront Dan as the train starts to leave. Prince shouts for Wade to drop down to allow them a clear shot Three- Ten to Yuma Dan. Instead, Wade unexpectedly tells Dan to jump into the passing baggage car. They leap to safety together. The gang runs after the train, but Dan shoots Prince and the rest give up pursuit.
