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.
“啊啊…这个丽话为什么这么多？” “啊啊…为什么真嗣这次觉醒得这么快？” “啊啊…司令把脑子捡起来放回破洞的脑壳里了！！” “啊啊…大白丽已经很鬼畜了，为什么还会有3D大白丽？” “啊啊…其实丽和熏站在一起还蛮配的嘛…” 感想太多了，比起几艘舰船打架，还是更喜欢类人型的巨大生命体打架。最后真嗣和丽说你也可以过没有EVA的人生其实是監督在和自己说吧，被EVA折磨的这些年，没有它照样可以过得幸福。 恭喜完结，恭喜长大。
是日剧氛围的LALALAND，然而，并不是同步率高就能长久在一起的口阿
父子镜像。留了那么多谜 最终还是坦诚地把女性“他者”表现到极致的一场大梦。
【4.5+】制作和分镜必然是超高水准，无与伦比的想象力带来了惊艳的视听体验，媒介形式的蒙太奇让我整个人又被洗礼。同TV版和《Air/真心为你》来说，分别作了一些相异的互文，但庵野秀明最终仍试图以人物们的转变去输出些似曾相识的东西：自我补完，拥抱和平与爱。难得的温暖语气让本片某种程度成为一部“后311”电影（诚如影片第一幕中所呈现的生活图景）。可对当初那代年轻人的教诲放到现在也还是适用吗？我自然没有答案，但我现在反倒开始享受平凡，于我自己也同这世界成长与适应着。总之庵野等于是把EVA的结局重叙过3遍，也是执念深重，而他真正的补完到底不在这儿，在《新奥特曼》和《新假面骑士》。
------
想说的挺多，像是破党争的方式、倒二段的原画“终于赶上了”梗、乱七八糟的新名词、突然坦诚的司令，有些地方叽里呱啦也没那么懂，不过最深的感受还是：这种世界你怎么能怪时不时就有人想毁灭它（其实还是看自己眼睛望向哪里吧。感觉会删几个暴露镜头吧，能上映还是会去看一遍，IMAX最好。葛城美里大姐姐是最好的。
庵野秀明用这部转向日常生活的电影传递了一则与现实生活息息相关的信息——不要因为过去的遗憾而感到挫败，将自己的心封闭起来以逃避现实；每个人都得学会带着遗憾生活，在接受遗憾的过程中成长，这样才能有勇气继续与他人相识、结合并得到补完。这是“成（为）人”的必经之路，对成人或孩子都是如此。就是这条简单的信息让我爱EVA这个系列胜过其它许多文本更深刻的艺术片，因为它真正关照了现代生活中如此普遍却又被大部分人藏在心底的问题，还鼓舞了不知多少人在无止境的挫败后继续做出下一次尝试。未来还会有许多优秀的动漫出现，但我不确定它们中有多少能像EVA一样带给我这样切身的感触，毕竟许多作品只有在恰好的时间点遇见才能让人难以忘怀。可即使仅此一次，我也能高兴地说我算体会过动漫那难以言说的魅力了。
碇真嗣的所谓成长，就是勇敢面对选择，去牺牲一部分人来完成所谓的人类补完计划。
【Great】没有鼓掌，也不是“你真恶心”，四分之一个世纪的停滞与轮回，终于三度迎来补完。从最开始单纯的商业企划，在随后的26年间成为了被创作者、观众与角色三方强行赋予形态的意识体。所以EVA唯有脱离其形态本身才有意义，故事的冲突在影像框架内部已无法终结。于是在这种创作思路下，《终》成为了所有人的意识投影，对过往作品的重复，是创作者们的思维囚笼，是观众的认知局限，也是角色们的西西弗斯之道。大白丽从手绘到CG的形象转变，劣质3D建模打斗下的特摄情结，摄影棚内对纪录片场景的观感再利用，以及最后真人影像的再度侵入。新剧场版是更加破碎的作品，但在最后的元世界中一切皆可被圆满解构。纵使庸俗与圆滑依然存在，但纠结真的毫无意义，我害怕再也看不到类似的影像神迹。
3.8 没有想象中的糟糕，所有人都得到了心灵的补完。真嗣挨个攻略，绫波丽不再是绫波丽，明日香和相田的展开意外却不反感，葛藤和加持留下了14岁的娃，碇源堂也终于拥抱到了唯。最后不得不说，宇多田光，永远滴神。
不是，一个两个半小时的故事前一个半小时台词都没两句全在自闭（加上q的话自闭的时间更长）的主角看看时间不够了就突然支棱起来了噼里啪啦一顿操作依次把他爹和他三个暧昧对象（？）都超度了故事就结束了，这种剧情很合理吗？！！？啊？？庵野秀明搞了这么长的时间是都用在研究从十万个不同角度看香香的屁股上了吗？（没有说不想看香香屁股的意思）剑介的部分我作为香党反而觉得挺好的，剑介穿手指娃娃裙子安慰香香的那几秒我都哭了，送走渚薰的部分也不错，但结局的玛丽是怎么回事，这个女的到底谁啊我他妈忍她很多年了！！！！就非要结局给主角配平吗？谁都可以吗？你他妈在玩连连看吗啊？？？？？？
真嗣一一向大家告别成长为大人了。
我在Q里，通过白丽和黑丽的区分捕捉到了痞子继续围绕这一点塑造人物的可能性。我失望了。
用长矛刺破层层心之壁垒，勇敢面对孤独的自己，和世间一切的羁绊。所有的福音战士，早安，晚安，谢谢，再见。
“如果smap没解散 我们会不会不分手？”
“你为我做的那盒午餐便当非常好吃，我想当时我喜欢上了你，但我比你更早成长为了一个大人。”
没想到爹tm这回被救赎了，大家都tm被救赎了，我有点感动，爹跟儿子说了，我杀神干啥其实都为了见你妈，为了再回到汝母身旁，爹还讲起了童年往事，爹从小只爱知识和钢琴，以为自己能一个人活下去，没想到遇到了你妈遇到了爱，爹再也不能一个人活了，没想到失去了你妈，爹折腾这么多回都是为了妈，爹跟儿子自白了，看着比儿子还完蛋，最后儿子救了大家，补完了一刚。
『永别了，所有的Eva。』中二少年（中年）学会真正与人建立联系，才是真•美好新世纪。呜呜我的美里又没了！以及玛丽怎么看都和真嗣的妈一样大，这是什么级别的姐弟恋啊喂！
剧情和导演有很大的问题。最好的新剧场版仍然是破。
