The biggest surprises throughout the movie that I liked were towards the end of the movie when Ben Wade was going to Yuma to go to prison and when he got into the train to go to Yuma and the train started to head and he called his horse over. That really surprised me because I thought that he was going to go to prison because he helped himself get into the train and help Dave get him to there saying look there is someone there look so he could shoot him and help me get to the train station without getting shot at or killed because ben wade team is good with guns and they also have a lot of people vs two people and they still made over there shot up a little bit. So at the end of the movie when he called his horse really surprised because I thought that he was willing to turn him in cause he shot his own team. I would never have thought that Ben Wade would turn himself in but at the end of tells you differently. Cause Ben wade is a very evil man and that he was willing to turn himself in. The end of the movie was the best part of the movie because he is actually not going to prison because that is why he called his horse over.

My biggest surprise was when Dan died. After all that they went through with the prisoner and all the shots. He didn’t die until the end of the movie which makes it more dramatic and sad at the same time. The draw also was a big surprise for me the last one I never expected that draw from the Van. In the movie that draws gives courage to Dan's son to go and help his father to put Van into the train and he really helped him, but he couldn't do anything to save his life. I feel that his son could do more to help his dad tho even if his dad didn't let him. In the movie when Van got shot I and he decided to not help Dan anymore I thought that the end was going to be there, and some way and somehow Dan will be alive and be helped for Van with money for his family to help his kids to get a better education and better life, but that didn’t happen obviously. Dan had a son now that will persecute the bad guy I will believe so because his dad died in duty so that might motivate his kid to follow the dad’s step and try to get the bad guys and put them in prison and help his mom and siblings economically.

What did I think the biggest surprise is in the movie 3:10 to Yuma? I think the biggest surprise is at the end of the movie when Ben kills all of his own guys and just walks onto the train just so Dan could get his money. I think this is the biggest surprise because Ben could have easily killed all the guys that were escorting him but he made friends with Dan and wanted to help him and his family because he knew they were struggling because of the drought. Also Ben knew that he could escape that prison because he did it twice before. Another surprise in the movie is when the boy showed up and saved all the guys from Ben killing all of them. I thought that when Dan told William to stay home that he would stay home but he left in the middle of the night to go be with his dad. Another thing that surprised me was when Ben killed all of his own guys because they shot Dan. This surprised me because those guys were coming to save him but they killed his friend so he killed them. Another thing that surprised me was how Mr. Butterfield reacted when Ben killed all the guys and just hopped on the train with no fight. And the last thing is when Ben was on the train and he whistled and his horse came running to him so when he got to the prison he could just run away.

The movie 3:10 to Yuma has a lot of surprises. The biggest surprise to me was at the end of the movie. At the end of the movie when dan was trying to get ben to the train and then it shocked me when ben was going to kill him but then he decided and agreed to help dan get him to the train because he wanted to help dan look like a hero to his son and he also realized that dan needs the money for his family. So it shocked me when ben helped dan get hi to the train and into the train but then bens gang came up and were trying to help ben get away and then the gang shot dan and then the biggest shocker was when bens main other guy shot dan and ben said no and then ben tried to help dan but then ben shot all of his gang members and the other guy who shot dan ben shot him multiple times. And it also surprised me when ben willingly got onto the train even though he could have gone free and didn't have to go to jail but he has already been there are broke out every time but it surprised me but he did it so dan's family could get the money.

What was the biggest surprise to you? The biggest surprise to me from the movie was when Dan got shot at the end of the movie. I wasn't expecting that to happen. I thought that Dan was going to go home with his son and have the money to help his family. Another surprise was the very ending of the movie how it showed Ben Wade whistle for his horse and it ended there. We did not get to see what happened to Dan’s family or anything else like that. But the biggest surprise to me was definitely when Dan got shot. I was in shock when that happened and I was not expecting it to happen at all. I was also surprised at the part when Ben Wade shot his own men just for Dan because Dan was his friend and that was the only real friend Ben Wade ever had. This movie was definitely full of surprises and a lot of things that I didn't see coming. It surprised me when Dan got shot but also how many times he got shot. The other thing that surprised me was when Dan was getting shot, Ben Wade said No to one of his men that was shooting him. It surprised me when Ben Wade shot the guy that shot Dan many times. Ben Wade shot him twice. I still don’t understand why he shot him twice but maybe it is because he was mad at him for shooting Dan many times.

The biggest surprise to me at 3:10 was when at the end dans son held a gun to ben and when ben shot all the gang members. That part to me was for sure a turn around because you would expect it to be the opposite. At the end I was kinda scared for dans son cause I thought that Ben had this nice gun and stuff so he was going to get shot. I'm very thankful he didn’t though. I'm also surprised that they made it to the station I was expecting them to get shot by then or ben turns on dan. Which he tried doing but then gave in a few seconds later. I thought that was a very surprising turn around for everyone and I think that a lot of people were shocked by this. Another surprise is how dan did not give up and he refused to even try to give up even when the prisoner tried too. I personally do not think I could have been that brave and I most likely would have given up. Towards the end I think that if dan did not die or any of the gang members he would have a lot of people to haunt him and I feel like he knew that but did not bother to give up because it meant something to him and he wanted to look like a hero in the situation. So to me the biggest suprise was when dan never gave up no matter what.

I think the biggest surprise in 3:10 to Yuma was when Ben started help dan get him to the train station and on to the train because over time as the movie progresses ben started to see why dan was doing what he was and that all he wanted is to show his son that his dad was a hero but since dan was trying to do that he lost his life trying to get ben wade on the train and in the end, dan did get ben on the train but he escaped to make him look like he was captured. I didn’t think that during the movie ben was going to help dan put him in prison because during the times that ben could have escaped but he only did once and then when dan and ben were sitting in the hotel ben never tried to escape it’s almost like ben wanted to be put in jail later on in the movie. I think another big surprise is when dan’s son was coming up behind one of ben’s gang member’s by the train but when the kid had a straight shot to get him he didn’t shoot at all and maybe if the kid would have shot the guy before he shot dan, dan could probably still be alive and see that he got ben on the train and he showed everyone that if you don’t give up you can accomplish anything in life if you put your mind to it.

The biggest surprise in the film was his last drawing. I didn’t expect him to draw the rancher. Another surprise was when the guy with the white hat started to shoot the people he hired to kill the rancher and save ben. I didn’t expect the trade off when they changed the guy with ben. The real surprise was just finding out that we where going to watch a movie. I didn't think they would catch up with carige. Also i didn’t think they would burn the guy alive just shoot him while he is in there then let the fire take care of the rest. I didn't think that ben was going to go back with his friends. There was one thing that i still don't know about is that medle what is it from. Did he get it from the war. Also why did his allies shoot him in the leg. Could he have been a bad guy in the war and some one saw a chance to get back at him. Also why did they only pay him 200 dollars that isn’t mutch for a leg. Also there is other things to do other then be a rancher. Could he have lived if the indian shot him would he still get payed if the lost a body part. The railroad guy could have just shot ben instead of trying to hide. What was a surprise was that he tried to brake his chance in the train thing and then he got shot at. They could have killed their workers.

Who is your favorite character in 3:10 to Yuma or another movie? Why? Include 250+ words.
My favorite character was Van. The way that he leads those guys in his gang is incredible. You need to be a good person with them like treating them well, but at the same time, you can’t treat them badly either because they will kill you or lose the respect of them and then will make you harder and you couldn't lead them. Van needs help stealing a back so he needs his guys. To lead guys like those in the movie you need to be really tough in many things and try to be better than them in any way possible. Van needs to kill people without a doubt because that will make Van seen weak and like any criminal group, they do not want a weak leader. I bet that Van helped Dan because if Dan let him go Van might have to kill him and his son to look like he didn’t have any relations with him so I feel that that was the reason that Van helped him to be taken to the train. Van wanted Dan to live and so that is why he agreed to be taken to prison because Van knew that he could get out easily as he did the last two times as he said in the movie. The change from being a bad guy to making him do a good action for others makes this character my favorite.

Yuma has many surprises. What was the biggest surprise to you? Or write about a surprise in a different film using 250+ words. The biggest surprise that happen in the movie that i like is that at the end of the movies ben almost complete his goal by take ben to the train of yuma when ben got into the train after his crew killed dan ben shot all of his crew for revenge for kill maybe one of his friend cause they had an special connection with each other. Another surprise for me is when ben wade went in to the train even doe dan was shot and killed by wade crew dan look so devastated like his one and only friend was gone. When ben crew gave ben his stuff ben killed all of his crew and oon of his crew mate was shot by dan up to close so he could see his death in his eye. After he killed his crew he went over to dan dead boards to mourn but dan son came and pointed the gun to ben head. I'm surprised that dan kid did not kill ben to honored dan he let
grayson see him walking in the train so he could give the 200 dollar to dan family cause of the reward on ben head but when the train got far enough he called his horse because he was going to break out again.

My biggest surprise was that ben wade killed his gang it took me by surprise as suddenly it shown that the one thing he wish he could have a friend was taken away from him someone that told him the truth about his life and shown compassion for someones well being he might've been cruel but shown that he clearly lacked a friend and then turned around to kill his gang was something I was never expecting as when it happened it took me by surprise and I loved it shows that ben wade pushed for justice of a fallen friend instead of going back to his old ways and getting onto the train willingly and sharing a laugh with him even was something I loved about it that friendship pushed him to the light and was truly blew me away as he wasn't doing this for himself he was doing this for dan Evans the one friend he had in the life of crime he had a person he could trust truly.

The biggest surprise that I think in 3:10 to Yuma is when I thought Dan was finished with protecting his son and also his group he was also helping Ben Wade that was against them. I was surprised by that because I thought that Dan was trying to protect his son as a father but William was telling his dad he can go out and with him and the others to fight and stand for what his dad believes in. I was surprised when Ben killed all of his teammates because they shot Dan because he was trying to protect their land. Another part that surprised me was when Ben Wade was trying to go to the train his teammates were following him and Dan who captured Ben.

The biggest surprise for me is how Ben Wade changed throughout the whole movie. At first, he thought that he was going to take a trip with his mom. His mom, however, made a choice to leave him on the train as she went to buy tickets. This is what Ben thought. Ultimately, his mom left him on that train leaving him alone with just him and his bible. She told him to read it. I think the surprising part about this is that a mother left her child. Being left alone, with no one to help him, I think this is when he started to make some bad choices with his posse. He murdered people. He didn’t care about anyone. Through the movie, we saw him slowly starting to care about someone. We saw him befriend a person named Dan Evans. He shows us that he cared about him before he died.
I think that this is surprising because this was a big change for someone to go through. Through the tragedy of his mom leaving him he really didn’t care about anyone. It was good to see that he has the ability to care about someone other than himself.
Equally surprising to me was how good of an artist that Ben Wade was. He drew three drawings - a hawk, a woman, and Dan Evans. He was talented and he showed himself through the paintings that he made. These were the things that he cared about the most.

One of the biggest surprises in the movie was that they captured ben wade and they brought him to the train. They also the ability to perform great deeds by heroes distinguished by the unique awareness of their historical mission, often identified with bravery. The concept of heroism introduced into the historiological reflection of Giambattista Vico. In the nineteenth century, it connected with the historical and political concepts of the right and individualism, but it was, however, more rarely in the mind of the left and even in the communist.

I think my biggest surprise was that ben helped the farmer take him to jail. Why does it surprise me because ben wade has been the bad guy the whole time and he has killed people and he could easily escape. But for whatever reason he helps the farmer gain respect from his son and money to provide for his family. I guess it shows that as bad as people seem they have some good in them you just need to find the switch or their sweet spot. People can be put in bad moods or bad personality by traumatizing events in their life.

There were a lot of surprises in the movie 3:10 to Yuma. The one that probably surprised me the most though was at the very end when Ben Wade turned on his gang after they shot Dan Evens. Towards the end of the movie, Ben and Dan form a bond of respect. Ben must not have had a lot of people close to him or people he could trust because the only person we see Ben’s respect was Dan. Even though Dan was trying to get Ben to go to jail they spent a lot of time together telling each other information about themselves. Ben is known for being downright evil and I felt bad a little for his gang when he turned on them. Sure they were evil too but they went through a lot of trouble to free him and that’s how he repays them. Maybe though Ben changed so much through the story he wants to right all of his wrongs starting with preventing the gang to do any more harm to anyone and get on the train to make sure Dan’s family gets the money.

The biggest suprose that i seen in the movie was that dan died. That really surprised me because he died knowing that ben wade went to prison and that was his whole goal to get him to prison. It is crazy to me because he risked his life the whole time and he didnt have to do that. This was also a surprise to me because ben could've easily killed all of the guys that where on the train but he didnt

In many movies, there are big surprises that no one saw coming and to me, that is the fun of watching movies. I have to say the craziest surprise in a movie has to be in the movie “knives out” this murder mystery was one of the best movies I have ever watch. From the down to detail evidence and the amazing ways of figuring out the murder. The movie would have you pointing straight at one person thinking 100% that they did the crime and then some more evidence comes and it changes the whole thing. (spoilers coming). In “knives out” the story was going along with the maid/ nurse who was very close to the billionaire that died. When he died the whole family including the nurse was questioned by the detective. There were a few of the family members that seemed like they would do something to get the fortune. As the story goes on they all start showing their own ideas of who it was and why. The detective had very odd ways of figuring things out. He got most of the information out of the nurse since she had a tic that she could not lie and if she did, she would vomit. This leads to many of the findings in the movie and later they found out that she may have done the crime. From here they really go back and forth for who is the killer until another person was killed, this got everyone back to the house to talk about what was happening and the nurse was now going to confess to the rest of the family that she had killed the billionaire, but before she could something happens. The detective finds out that the lethal injection was not actually lethal. The labels were switched, but from her knowing what the bottles felt like due to experience, she gave the right meds to the billionaire. To this point, they know now that the snotty son of the billionaire was the one who switched the labels to kill his father, and so, in the end, the billionaire ended his own life with a knife thinking he was gonna die and to protect the nurse who was his best friend.
