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.
一地的烂玻璃渣，映射出彩虹，我还要踩在渣上起舞。
想表达对于女校体制的反抗过于直露，故事戏剧性太强没有处理好。
要是是直人片或者男同片直接一星 这调色 这大柔光 直接把我眼睛看瞎 剧本写得很烂 虽然有两个感人的片段但并不是因为执行功力
#OAFF 3.5 华语圈女同片相对来说太少，能在大阪的电影院看很开心。也许是剪辑的原因，中学时代的故事有一点流水账的感觉，有些部分的衔接也不够自然。印象最深的一句话还是，共同经历就会有共同回忆吗？总体来说还是很能共情的，最后婚礼的部分有哭到。
演员演技还不错，加一星。前20分钟过于碎片化拍得像MV+中学时期全程柔光我忍了，闹分手恋爱脑跑到操场在全校面前接吻也没什么问题。但杨偲泳听谈善言读悔过书“感到可耻……并无亲密关系”就撕烂悔过书并转学，我就看不懂了。两个人都敢做出如此行为，为什么你们之间的感情信任是这么岌岌可危？那你自己写的悔过书又是什么内容？如果是准备上去反抗学校，那前面和爸爸的谈话后决定和谈善言断绝来往的个人成长点逻辑不成立。如果也是准备读悔过书，那这是在干什么.jpg
很多年前我也问过李咏蓝问李芯悦的问题。
BE，万年BE，如果不BE确实不深刻。两人的家境 确实会导致两人对青春期这段刻骨铭心的感情有不同的感受，泳蓝选择原地踏步，而心悦早已move on。电影前30多分钟疯狂发糖，我就知道后面有多虐，不过有些剧情有点让我迷惑，有点故意，比如我感觉床戏就大可不必了，虽然没啥，但总感觉有些过了；操场拥吻我着实没想到，很不错；有很多迷影梗，阿飞正传的哥哥和曼玉的经典场景，蓝宇的电视背景音，这些迷影梗都挺让我惊喜的；就是有些场景有些刻意，讲真像拍mv，不过我倒是很喜欢两女主和父母之间的戏
*一星给二汶的歌
7/10 太轻太薄了，不过校园爱情不就是这样吗，美好又不可触摸的，两位主演果然是best friend，真就没啥浪漫反应，雨中叛逆激吻也给我看出一种放弃治疗的中二友情……anyway，我就是奔着主题曲和阿谈看的……
香不知道是否对港女标签化印象 总觉得香港青春片拍得硬邦邦的
女生开始穿束胸就类似于分手后开始谈男朋友吧。主题曲很棒，词贴合剧情，就像花香一样，曲也棒，二汶歌声永远温柔
下刀子的片段果断划过，年岁渐长只要甜的部分疗愈自己。
非常尬的一部电影，讲述的故事非常混乱，感觉像在看MV。
片长限制所以很多可以更细腻的地方拍得有点仓促，如果拉到120分钟以上可以更完美。学生时期的感情我很有共鸣，在感情里面先放弃的那一边最可耻。影片中几次落泪，为了不让眼泪落下来弄脏被子，我昂着头摸着黑在床头柜上摸索卫生纸的样子真的很狼狈！另，HK竟然是中学7年大学3年吗？！
补一句不正经的评价：麦家琪演这样一个妈就离谱…
整部电影看起来很像为了支持东亚女同而强行完成的一个表达政治正确的作品，而非把艺术放在第一位，尽管导演试图通过一些镜头表达细腻的情感，但效果不尽如人意。女版《刻在你心底的名字》，表达上差一大截。（61/100）
第一次试探梗着脖子的亲吻，第一次在昏暗的房间里，放着《蓝宇》，我在你耳边悄悄说了一句我爱你，你睡着了肯定没有听见。你说只要两人相爱什么问题都不能阻挠我们，最后你却还是退缩了。你是我第一个爱上的人，果然三十岁我们都还独自一人的话，就结婚吧这种话不能信。但你永远都是我最好的朋友，永远都不会改变。搞不懂结局为什么没有he？
很多年前我也问过李咏蓝问李芯悦的问题。
是有一些缺点，比如有些细节的套路较老 主角一难过就打雷下雨，还有两个爸爸的那一次对话，令人不明所以，要说是想和后面“好爸爸”的形象形成反差，体现“人的多面性复杂性”又未免不太够。但有几个镜头还是很会拍的，把两位主角拍得美极了。
6/10。后面比前面好，Renci演得无想象中炒车，但剪得好差，柯san无参与剪辑的吗？韦家雄只有一场戏，但足以证明他的演技。
