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.
平稳叙事，真情实感。母女吵架，父亲打了女儿一巴掌和拿衣架打女儿、女儿在马场对着白马哭诉、父亲得知小女儿没事后在楼道间掩面落泪，这三场戏都令我动容。
月光下迟来的吻和湖边小屋是闪烁的浪漫，而更多留下是对人生的思考。“我们常常会给不好吃的食物制造幻觉，为了让它变得好吃些。然而，幻觉留下来…是苦涩”。
男女主角版。哈哈。
真的好看
当妈妈太苦了。没法再说更多了，太苦了。以及，女主不是不能好好说话，她是没有多余的力气说话了，要操心的事情太多了，家务、两个孩子的吃喝拉撒，还得照顾丈夫。没人真的懂得她辛苦的程度，而她也没有力气再说了。还好最后都和解了，不然真的太苦了。图什么啊。
严格来说，只值一分。一个连续剧，一个动画，拍来还没有游戏好，包括小说，都没有游戏好。
气质完美复刻游戏，剧情完全在意料之中，结局略显仓促像是为下一部做铺垫。本来还以为会和游戏联动一下说说dlc那个老女贵族的事情呢
再怎么也没想到看片名看海报挑选的电影竟然是部动画片，风格线条啥的都偏简化！其实感觉要是用真人拍的话会更劲爆，会比动画的效果好！
用了巫师世界观的大背景，原创和补完了维瑟米尔的故事，将人术士猎魔人怪物之间的关系都讲述到了，很完整，即使没有了解原著也可以看。
维瑟米尔的光辉岁月
只值三星，剧情实在是太ooc，看的时候非常出戏，很多地方完全不能承接原著和游戏，纯粹是为了凑电影而改编(游戏本来就非ooc了)。但许多处理又很好地致敬游戏和原著(比如刻意解释了凯尔莫汗的城墙为什么在某处会有个大缺口)，使得粉丝群体看到后会非常舒适。电影对世界观有一定补充(我还是忍不住吐槽，二创太离谱了)，不能说导演和编剧没有仔细研究过原设，加之打戏出色，所以勉强给个四星。只能说风格上很好地还原了小说里那种特有的中东欧气息，把小说里因历史原因、人种混杂和政治斗争所导致社会恐慌与狭隘偏见表现出来(游戏反而没做到)--看的时候除了维瑟米尔和老情人外的所有角色都引人憎恨，但是到了结局又只能感叹这都是群可悲的、活在仇恨与过往中的“怪物”。
可惜从此猎魔人一蹶不振，作画和战斗画面都不错
意外的好看，没看过原著，但70岁的爱情毫无违和感~
相当不错了，唯一的缺点是有点短，完全可以和 恶魔城 一样整它三季
叙述上有些混乱，为啥所有的猎魔人都要搞两段式？
《美国女孩》完全可以看作是杨德昌《青梅竹马》的续集，情人之间关于移民的选择和都市中冷漠与疏离的亲密和亲情，在台湾90年代移民潮大背景下，千禧年后不久回到台湾的母女三人所要面对的是一个全新的环境，乐观的经济奇迹早已过去，非典疫情后面是台湾经济下行，社会暗流涌动，分裂与焦虑，美国成为了一个极具符号化的身份象征，充满了矛盾感，它不再是遥远与梦想的代名词了，反而成为了堕落现实的影射，大女儿是感受最明显的，马是自由的，但这里却如此困顿，在这个小公寓中，母亲执着地要买大房子可能是想给女儿力所能及的安慰吧，与同为表现母女关系的《瀑布》确实有许多有趣的对比，观众选择了这部电影，但评委选择了《瀑布》，其实它们落脚点都是一样的，在混乱的社会大环境中，我们如何保持住内心的尊严与情感的温度呢？勇气是对抗时间的唯一方法
只觉片中的各种吵架太真实了，恐怕要不了多久，这样的母女和父女场景都要在我家上演，夫妻就更不用说了，开胃菜而已。。。青春与叛逆，三十年前我还大言不惭地说从没在自己身上感受到过。。。终究是虽迟但到
挺好的，确实带着巫师独有的气味：沼泽、鲜血、药草、酒精、腐烂。btw 看完之后，拜年和剑舞该选哪个就不用我多说了吧。
壓抑程度比「瀑布」要再高出很多，一直在描寫家庭吵架，場景又刻意調得很昏暗，很真實、但直到最後都沒有破解，女孩到底要不要回美國？如何解決自己的內心矛盾？本作最多只是揭露了一些實現American Dream的華人現象而已。
虽然电影院里不时传出窸窸窣窣的哭泣声，但感觉也就仅限于好哭…感觉很多没有深入聊，只是一笔带过。
