 THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- HIGH NOON
HIGH NOON ($25) is amongst those rarest of films, the kind of movie you sit and watch awestruck because you know that it comes as close to absolute perfection as any cinematic experience is ever likely to get.
HIGH NOON builds tension by making the audience acutely aware of a deadline that looms closer and closer, as the lone hero frantically struggles to gather support from amongst the frightened townspeople.
HIGH NOON is deceptively Spartan in its approach, however every simple image conveys so much more when one looks at the film as a whole.

 High Noon
(The definition of an "adult western" is one in which the cowboy is smarter than his horse.) "High Noon" is the story of a marshal who decides to break his promise to his bride and stay in town to face Frank Miller (whom he'd earlier sent to prison) and his gang.
In a way, a free grace gospel presentation in a church service (or out of it) is like "High Noon" in that a person is confronted with a highly-charged issue, one from which it's impossible to be emotionally distant or disinterested because of the very nature of the faith alone in Christ alone gospel.
There is a high noon built into every such church service, a high noon more serious than the movie.

High Noon is a classic tale of a man who is torn between his duty and love.
Highly-stylized, carefully and beautifully shot, "High Noon" possibly owes its great popularity to a combination of three things--It's a suspense film in the real sense; the dearly beloved set-piece climax of the gun duel never got better or more thoughtful treatment; it has a theme tune that persistently whines its way into the subconscious...

 High Noon for Natural Gas: The New Energy Crisis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Our devil-may-care attitude about energy is fueled in large part by an economic principle of "substitutability," in which we depend on new sources of energy to take the place of the old.
Darley is a self-described "environmental philosopher" who specializes in researching "non-market and non-technology-based responses to global environmental degradation." The primary thrust of High Noon for Natural Gas is that, unless we unplug as much as we can from our energy-dependent ways, we're headed off a cliff, and the crash at the bottom won't be pretty.
HIGH NOON is a clearly written book about our Natural Gas predicament -- the only one I know of on this topic.

 The DVD Journal | Reviews : High Noon: Collector's Edition
Urged by his bride to leave town or risk their new marriage (and certainly, it is felt, his life), Kane insists on staying — the new marshal isn't expected for another day and Kane feels committed to protecting his town and facing the consequences of his career as a principled lawmaker.
In the half-century since High Noon's initial release, Kane has come to represent a sadly antiquated model of American man: an individualist bound by selfless and unyielding commitment to law and protecting those in his dominion; a man resistant to corrosive neuroses and unthwarted by moral relativism.
"Behind High Noon" (9:47), meanwhile, is less informative in its interviews with many of the descendants featured in the commentary, but it still reflects the importance of this work in the lives of the artists who contributed to it.
