History Awesome / HighNoon

* Will Kane's devotion to his marshal role and protecting his city. He was getting ready to retire right after he had gotten married, but then he heard that his old rival, Frank Miller was returning for revenge on Kane, and someone suggested that Kane leave town. Rather than follow the request, he turns back around and states that he's still a hero with or without his marshal status, and the replacement marshal hasn't shown up yet. That's loyalty right there, he deserves his marshal status.

** And she tries to convince Amy - a Quaker - to break her code and help her husband fight Miller's gang.

** [[{{Irony}} Isn't it funny how the the]] ActualPacifist Amy, who had been urging her husband to leave town for the whole movie, is one of the few people to help him take down the bad guys at the end of the film?

* During the scene in the church were Kane's trying to get deputies to help him fight Miller, most of the Christians didn't want to work with him, but there were a handful of people who defended him. Too bad those people get turned down.

** And she tries to convince Amy - a Quaker - to break her code and help her husband fight Killer's gang.

* The fact that a 14 year old boy with almost no experience in combat was willing to fight with Will against Miller and his experienced gang. Kane turned him down because of how young he was, but still, that's much better than not trying at all, like most of the townspeople did.
** Plus, [[UngratefulTownsfolk when the city of Hadleyville comes of hiding and thanks Kane for protecting their image]], the teenage boy is the only one didn't get the stink eye from Will Kane, because of his willingness to stand up for town.

** Then, when Frank finds Amy and holds her captive, [[DamselOutOfDistress Amy pushes Miller to the ground]], leaving Miller unarmed, and open for Will to shoot and kill him.

* Kane standing in the street waiting for Miller. [[OneManArmy Alone.]] Forget the fight itself, forget the disgust you feel for the townspeople, the mere fact that Kane was willing to stand up and fight for the decency of the town takes so much integrity and courage you can't help but call it awesome.
** You then ''also'' have to admire Kane's decision to straight up leave the town with Amy after the fight.
