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.
观感的复杂竟然源于对「蝙蝠侠」的理解。肉眼可见的是，新版本是一次对先者的颠覆和重塑，强调蝙蝠侠更「人类」的部分，比如笨重地行走、判断的失误，以及作为群体而非个体的战斗，甚至不惜将哥谭从虚拟取出置于全球化背景下。但对于父辈／先者，电影却是充满了无限的崇敬和尊重，哪怕口吻是虚弱的，这种自我麻醉的方式仍然有效地在银幕之外打磨出了一个用以瞻仰的石像，模仿与幻想仿佛才是主题。旋涡之下，当蝙蝠侠取出炬火带领众人，以及满身泥泞的现身于朝阳下时，蝙蝠侠所代表的神秘感和（被）观察欲顷刻间荡然无存，新「神话」话语尝试以失败告终，「超级英雄」存在本身正在面临质疑与解构。可以为五方的嘴唇颁发年度性感奖了。
猫女爱上了“正义”的蝙蝠侠。
你好我要打满分。马丁斯科塞斯老爹你瞧瞧，你要的cinema来了。
來啊！一起加入派丁森友會吧！🤣
超级英雄片和文艺片的奇怪杂交……剧情冲突设计有些俗套，图书馆下水救人那段更是无趣且不合逻辑，像是为了致敬某圣经桥段而硬塞进去的。5/10吧
拍的好哇，大家都有恨，有愤怒！美式傻侦探，哐哐打乱拳，夜火雨哥谭，猜猜我是谁！
开头很黑色，还挺惊喜的，可是超英总是要有大场面，有大场面就显得不那么黑色了；黑毛方蝙很emo(我比较喜金毛方)，画面很漂亮，所以总体上算是装逼成功吧。就想问问姐你搬家怎么只带一个毛，其他找领养了吗？
那就随便说说吧~整体摄影美学特戳我~还有嫩牛五方的烟熏眼影妆，就很爱（毕竟我喜欢的虚拟女人和我家兔兔都是这等邪魅眼妆~）

太熟悉之前那两部猩球崛起电影，看前对本片可能存在的优缺点已有大致的预料。私心自然还是期望马特·里弗斯能带来一些说不上蜕变也能让人惊喜的东西，但依然还是没学会去扬长避短，持续依托直白的台词独白来渲染氛围和表达人物情感，无力施展影像本身的魅力，文本上也不做必要的减法。走出了上一代蝙蝠侠的阴影，可没能很深入地走进这一版主人公的内心世界，整体只能说功过相抵吧，的确让人愈发怀念诺兰时代的黑暗骑士。

这版蝙蝠侠和他的敌人都很弱鸡，但也越来越贴近现实，哥谭不愧是美帝的里世界。蛮喜欢影片营造的压抑、无助、黑暗风、有厚重感。看见初出茅庐的布鲁斯韦恩对自己复仇行为感到迷茫，与谜语人决斗中他输了，与猫女分道扬镳镜头，重新点题：他依然坚定拼死承担义务的意志，历经洗礼的蜕变。
看见全身上下包裹得这么严实，但唯独没戴口罩的蝙蝠侠，本来是想来看爽片的我就变得不爽了。
从黑暗骑士的伦理学观念，到如今“杀手47”视角，对于系列来讲是全新的突破。红色的腥风血雨被阴暗的夜黑色所中介。哥特字体 建筑 仪式 第五协奏曲——形式复古。在“侦探片”的节奏里，虽然叙事本身不存在闪回，但递进的情节又无时无刻不在重复着人物过去的“真相”，也就在这个暗店街式的寻根旅程中，群众接过蒙面英雄的手，红色荧光划破黑色的夜，于黎明形成色调的统一，从冷静走向暖色饱和。涅槃的歌响起，我认为个人英雄主义也在此跨越性地“涅槃”了。
对2019版小丑的回应，也是对国会山庄被袭后的拜登主政时代做的注脚。2019版小丑是站在极右翼者的角度去理解为什么会变成这样，2022版蝙蝠侠则是普通人该如何与极右翼对抗。「振兴基金」在现实中真的有一个名为「重建美好未来」法案，而所有官僚都听命于一个幕后黑帮，则是Deep State阴谋论的映射。整个剧本实在是太美国了。But I'm so tired of American political stories. 惊悚片的风格是很不错的，IMAX值得。2022.03.18
A / The shadow hunter，阴影潜伏恐惧，浅焦模糊真伪，谜语人是蝙蝠侠的分身，在「七宗罪」式的案件中不断追溯着罪恶的同时，又追溯着城市过往，直至对于本我的叩问。绘制城市的肖像画，由点及面地剥开腐朽的外衣，爆炸声后迎来「天气之子」般的新生。揭开面具是对于父子关系的重新认识，而伸手救援，用红色的"火炬"带领人潮，划开淹没城市的海水，则是真正意义上的救赎。
拍超英拍不明白，以为自己在拍文艺片！每次出场都伴随着无用而漫长的bgm，不是神奇女侠这招有用蝙蝠侠这招就有用！！所有的动作都是慢动作！slowmotion是这么用的吗…镜头不是速度与激情用过的就是007用过的…甚至有星战的镜头…但是就是不合适啊！！！说台词说得跟疯狂动物城里的闪电一样的速度…你哪怕有一个笑点或者精彩的台词我都可以容忍…但是没有啊！台词长且无聊..美剧写这样的台词都要被第一季就cancel好吗？？？真不知道吹的人到底是不是DC粉？！看过诺兰和贝尔，甚至哪怕看过本蝙和超人的烂评电影都不可能觉得这部电影有可取之处！啊….政治正确，照顾种族，看出来可取之处了…
影碟机的时代，蝙蝠侠让我第一次有了哥特暗黑的概念
蝙蝠侠系列电影整体偏右——哥谭市最大的财阀每天不想着资产增值、却为城市治理操碎了心，堪称模范市民……但最近几部「蝙蝠侠」，都在反派设置上强化了社会问题属性，将「阶级叙事」整容以后嵌入基本上抗拒这个议题的大众文化中——好莱坞的左翼从来只跟身份政治有关。某种程度上这也是在回应美国社会底层对精英的不满。
确实不是纯粹超级英雄的电影，加入了关于politics的讽刺元素，因为在伦敦看的没有字幕可能错过了一些值得注意的细节，但总体来说还行，就是时长确实很难熬哈哈哈
