High Noon - a Western that leaves you ill

Most Westerns end on a positive note. OK, the hero might even die, but there will still be enough good people around him, and plenty of good will, so you usually feel his death was not in vain.

Not so in the High Noon. The hero is still alive at the end, and he does ride into the proverbial sunset, but you are left feeling empty, disgusted at human nature in general, almost revolted.

I am not a great Western expert, although I have seen my fair share of them, and I do think this is an unusual film in that respect.

After High Noon I will be reluctant to watch another one for a long time - I will be afraid to become disillusioned again... you know, in today's world this is the last thing one needs... after looking at his 401k report.
