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.
他说学那些儒家至圣的文学思想让他接受了西方思想，但是推崇儒学的国家却接受不了一个渺小的自己。 那些读了很多书的人到头来做了一个不为人民的官，真不知道要这些官干什么。 能听见海螺声音的人，是那些本来就听得见海螺声音的人。
韩国版“沉默”。虽然不喜欢导演对天主教和儒学的捧一踩一的态度，但是片子确实打动人心，讨论的主题很吸引人，但奈何还是隔靴搔痒，这可能是韩国文化的悲伤吧，两种思想都是外来的，学哪种都画虎不成……构图和故事也在西方和东方之间摇摆，借鉴还是没借鉴到精髓啊……整部片子的水平就像韩国人做的绝句诗一样，乍一看挺唬人，仔细看不太行

低种姓部落猎人拉贾坎努因盗窃嫌疑在监狱遭受严刑拷打致死的事件，在身怀六甲的妻子多方奔走之下，于高法真相大白，警方匆促破案刑讯逼供任意栽赃打死人还蓄意掩盖的可耻行径在正义律师钱德鲁的不懈追查下终无辩驳，穷人要的不止是判决，还有希望。
如师所说，是昌大给了他在流放地的生活生机，兹山鱼谱对于师傅而言，我觉得是一个精力投放之处，同时也是一位学者的本性所在：研究记录。画面太美，又有意境，黑白色调又将这份镜头的美与意推上一个层次。突然想起昌大的母亲扮演者是世莉的妈妈。这部电影，演员们把黑山百姓的生活方式演得生动真实。
6.6/10。1990s印度：主线是低种姓男主一家因种姓歧视而被恶警当作一起「政客珠宝失窃案」的替罪羊折磨，以及正义律师为男主辩护并获得成功。在这起案件的叙事过程中也揭露了低种姓因种姓歧视而被恶警各种当替罪羊的社会现象。总的来说故事有点意思（虽然律师被脸谱化且反派被强行降智），视听上则是很标准的陈词滥调（叙事节奏明显被过量歌舞和一些无关紧要的支线剧情拖慢）。
能拍出这样的电影，说明印度还有救，这个国家将是中国未来三十年很可怕的对手。
这是一部非常韩国却最没有韩国味的电影。黑白摄影，时不时让我想起《罗马》，这个基调却是明快纯真的。所有演员都撑得起这部剧，表演也没有那种韩式夸张感，即使那唯一的搞笑担当，也是克制内敛的。简简单单认认真真的讲一个故事，这部剧做到了。
为了体现原始的感觉，而设定的黑白的画面，只有蓝色的小鸟和海浪，很难不联想到辛德勒的名单，略显了一丢丢做作，但是不得不承认，正是因为这样，才能发现海面上映射着的光线是那么迷人。
封建时代的儒学是服务统治阶级的工具，往往是一群满嘴仁义道德，满肚子男盗女娼的伪君子，何尝不是另一种礼崩乐坏呢。作为中国人，看的内心五味杂陈，泱泱中华五千年，无数的好故事拍不出来。
3.这种电影看的真的难受，因为电影里的问题是真实存在并且还将一直存在.
《思悼》，《南汉山城》,《兹山鱼谱》
丁若铨虽然深受儒家教育，但他展现出来的风貌非常的老庄，用出世的态度过入世的生活。同时他身上还有难能可贵的人人平等的现代意识，这种洞察力和道德品德使他太超前于时代因此甚至不被最亲密的人所理解，也使他比其他人都更像一个一撇一捺的人。拍的非常古典美，故事也讲的很清楚合理。薛景求演这种被时代侮辱损害了的人真是绝了！
昌大这条线其实挺真实的。学的时候觉得光靠自己的学识就足以改变一切，到头来才发现这世界早就已经变得乌烟瘴气无药可救，打人一顿都还算好，至少他还有那片纯粹的岛屿可回。哎。
虚无主义看世界不需高谈阔论就或因一鱼谱即可观大千
甚至不如梅峰老师的不成问题的问题
A- 年度最佳电影，该火了。从头至尾，没有一句废话。根据真人真事改编，把警察做过所有肮脏的事赤裸裸拍出来，太一针见血了。律师太帅了，维护正义之道，不放过一丘之貉。印度是真能拍，也真敢拍。官官勾结行贿、包庇和滥用私权，把不配拥有土地不配活在世上的烂民活活打死，他们的命一文不值，死了就丢在荒郊野岭，太他妈黑暗了，惨无人道。种姓歧视就像吸了血的蚂蟥一般，永远吸附在印度人民身体里，吸干他们的血为止。重要的事情说三遍，这部电影该火了！这部电影该火了！！这部电影该火了！！！
这何尝不是一种悲哀
揭露了半天屁用都没有 低种姓贱民命如草芥的现状也没有得到什么改变 而且神勇律师给自己加戏太多了 印度的许多社会新闻都让人怀疑穿越到了1000年前
位居高堂也好，混迹市井也好，社会要进步，文化要传承，需要各种人，需要很多人。 什么时候我们的电影能拍出来这种水平呢，大学中庸，汉字书法，这样下去真的成了棒子的了。
