High Noon

A detailed Summary of High Noon

The movie High Noon is a western style movie about loyalty and betrayal. Throughout the whole movie, you can see how Kane is loyal to the town and how the town betrays Kane.

The film tells a story about a man who was too proud to run- a tale of a lone, stoic marshal (Will Kane) who was left desolate and abandoned by the townspeople he has sworn to protect because of a four-man gang led by Frank Miller. This is where the loyalty part comes in. Kane did not have to stay and protect the town's people because he was "retired" and was going to leave town with his wife. Nonetheless he did stay because he felt that it was his duty to protect the townspeople even though no one would volunteer and help him. His wife, Amy along with the some townspeople tells him to leave town immediately to sav

e his life. They tell him that he is no longer the marshal of the town, therefore not his fight. Kane disregarded what everyone told him and stayed to protect the townspeople. This is because of his great sense of duty that would not let him allow others (the innocent townspeople) to risk their lives over something that he feels is his responsibility. The fact that Kane was so willing to risk his new life and live happily ever after with his wife for the town's safety shows his loyalty to the town and its safety.

A scene in the movie, where Kane stops to care for a few horses before caring for his, shows that Kane is kindhearted-showing loyalty. In the movie, where all the townspeople had an excuse for not helping Kane showed betrayal. In various ways, the themes loyalty and betray was shown through
