- On the Waterfront
Situated amid the vast New Jersey waterfront, 5 men conclude a meeting in the Longshoremen Local shed. The police arrive at the crime scene where neighbours have gathered. Although the police try to obtain information, no one will reveal what they know about the homicide. Friendly tells Terry to count some money. However, being uneducated, Terry fails to do so and passes it over to his brother.
At the beginning of the film, Terry Malloy is characterised as a vulnerable character who has been placed in an difficult position by the dictating union leader, Friendly. The dramatic beating music accompanying the opening scene foreshadows an evil and intense event about to occur. The black-and-white shot creates an oppressive atmosphere, highlighting the suffocation of those who work on the docks.
Over time, Friendly has manipulated Terry into becoming his submissive follower, someone who is willing to obey orders and adhere to rules. When Terry lures Joey out for Friendly, he is filmed with a high-angle shot, where the camera looks down on the subject. This demonstrates his lack of power and vulnerability, and invites the audience to feel empathetic for his situation. When everyone returns inside the bar, Terry is left outside, physically enduring the cold but also metaphorically enduring the environment around him — as though he is facing a battle with his conscience.
His awakening consciousness to the horrors that the mob inflicts upon others is emphasised by his separation from Friendly and his crew at the end of the first scene. On the other hand, a character that is introduced as strong-willed is Edie Doyle. Her presence is juxtaposed against the people around her since she possesses moral value in comparison to everyone else that has been tainted by Friendly.
Her light blonde hair is contrasted against the dull, dark colours around her, indicating that she has not been infiltrated by the mob. It is also symbolic of her innocence and naivety, once again highlighting that it has been easy for her to maintain her good virtues, unlike the men who struggle under Friendly.
Furthermore, her overwhelming goodness appears to spread to those around her. Terry informs a neighbourhood kid named Tommy to be careful around the pigeons because he does not want them to catch a cold. Eating, sleeping, flying around like crazy, raising gobs of squabs. A crowd of men gather at the docks, waiting for their names to be called out for work that day.
The men also ask if Terry is an ex-prize fighter who retired a couple years ago. Since Terry refuses to talk, the men leave.
CRAIG MCMAHON
Each man who receives a tab is selected for work that day. With too many men and not enough jobs, Mac ends up throwing the tabs at the crowd. This causes mayhem as the remaining men wrestle against each other to obtain tabs. In an effort to attain a tab for her father, Edie struggles with Terry who is also trying to get one for his friend. Overseeing the chaos, Father Barry is shocked at the situation, and asks the remaining men if they have a union to protest for their rights.
The men explain that that is the way things have happened since Friendly took over. The men and Father Barry agree to a meeting at the church.
Inside the warehouse, Terry sits down on a coffee bag reading a magazine — a privilege for the first person chosen from the workers. Charley asks Terry to act as a spy in the congregation to be held later that day. At the church, the congregation begins with a just small number of longshoremen. Father Barry urges the men to speak out against Friendly in order to stop the crimes.
Being unable to get through to the men, the priest settles for a prayer however, they are interrupted when the mob show up and throw rocks into the church. With everyone scattered around the church, Terry and Edie successfully escape the building together. The attackers take off, leaving a badly injured Dugan behind. He vows to talk to the Crime Commission — even if it leads to his death. With his back positioned against the chimney, this signifies that he is attempting to block out the waterfront, and focus on other aspects of his life. However, it appears as though he cannot completely escape since the waterfront structures emerge through the mist in the background.
Symbolically, the rooftop is a place where Terry goes to think about his own morals without the pressures of the world below, and this would have been the case with Joey as well, thus leading the latter to spill to the Crime Commission. The attack at the church turns him completely against Friendly, as seen when he and Father Barry make a pact to stop the corruption on the docks.
Meanwhile, the other longshoremen remain fearful of Friendly. In this shot, the longshoremen turn their backs away from Terry, demonstrating that even amongst a group if colleagues, each of them would rather protect themselves than their fellow workmate. Since the Manhattan structures are only slightly visible through the fog, it is represented as a whole other world that the longshoremen will never be able to reach, since they are trapped in Hoboken by the river.
Furthermore, the tall Manhattan buildings are difficult to identify, portraying a sense of mystery and unfamiliarity for the workers on the waterfront. The powerlessness of the stevedores continues to be established during the scene when Big Mac chooses people to work. This firstly demonstrates that Friendly has the power to provide a living to whomever he desires since the men fighting one another depicts a flock of birds pecking at whatever they can.
The pounding music in the background creates the sense of disorder and chaos, reinforcing the sense that at the longshoremen are at the bottom of the ladder. When the attendees at the congregation participate in a prayer at the church, they are interrupted by a rock thrown through the window. An exterior, high-angle shot of the alley behind the church emphasises that there is narrow escape and indeed, no place to hide for the men on the waterfront. Terry says he is with himself.
Edie asks Terry what the homeless man meant, but Terry ignores her question. One of the pigeons lays an egg, which Terry gives to Edie. After some persuading, Edie agrees to a beer with Terry. At the Saloon, the two discover more about each other. He avoids explaining why he stopped fighting by asking why Edie would care.
On their way out of the pub, the two dance together to the wedding ceremony music being played next door, forming an even closer bond. Before they kiss, one of the mob men from the wedding interrupts, stating that Friendly is looking for Terry. Soon after, the Waterfront Crime Commission officer approaches Terry, and serves him with a subpoena. That night, Friendly and his men approach Terry in the street, wondering why he was not at the congregation. The next day, the men load up a crane with heavy crates containing Irish Whisky.
He states that their lack of action against the mob is a crucifixion. They comment on how the pigeons are nervous because a hawk had come over before. The two passionately embrace. The white colour illustrates the pure intentions and goodness that Edie is transferring to Terry, giving him a sense of enlightenment.
The division between the different groups of people living on the waterfront is reflected through the heavy bird symbolism filtered throughout the film. Hawks have become the symbol of wars as they are an aggressive and large bird of prey, highlighting the battle between Friendly and the stevedores.

Pigeons tend to be peaceful, loving and gentle, reinforcing the idea that Friendly easily coerces them into doing his bidding. Their top hats, long thick coats and cigars all depict the wealth of the mob, juxtaposed with the longshoremen who wear thin jackets with holes throughout them. The idea that Terry is not a part of their group is further established in the scene where Friendly pulls up in his car next to Terry as their respective positions in camera frame highlights the literal and metaphorical distance between them.
Johnny Bean (Character) - Comic Vine
The low-angle shot of Father Barry captures his face against the clear sky above, demonstrating that he is a voice of heaven, urging the longshoremen to do the right thing by God. They hang around on top of big hotels. They spot a pigeon in the park, right down on them. Well I still think he owns you.
The Land of the Green Man: A Journey Through the Supernatural Landscapes of the British Isles
No wonder everyone calls you a bum. He was alright hanging around for laughs but this is business. And anybody who sits around and lets it happen, keeps silent about something he knows has happened, shares the guilt of it just as much as the roman soldier who pierced the flesh of Our Lord to see if He was dead. Seeing that Terry has reached a crossroad, Father Barry responds by encouraging Terry to begin clearing his conscience by approaching Edie about truth. Terry agrees, and soon meets up with Edie.
The Crime Commissioner officer arrives on the rooftop to once again investigate Terry and his link to the mob. This time however, instead of approaching him as an authority, he pretends to be merely taking a rest after visiting several other buildings. The officer strikes up an informal chat, stating that he remembers Terry being beaten up a few years ago in a boxing fight. Consequently, he sends Charley to investigate where his brother lie. When Terry enters the taxi, Charley informs the driver to firstly make a quick stop at River St.
Charley offers his younger brother a lucrative job at a new pier.
On the Waterfront
However, Terry is unsure, since he does not want to continue working for Friendly. Charley demands him to take the job before they reach River St, presumably the location where Terry will be killed for betraying the mob. Desperate, Charley holds a gun against Terry, threatening him to take the job. Charley is overcome with despair.

It is revealed why Terry lost the important boxing match that ended his career many years ago. Charley had ordered Terry to purposely lose to Wilson, his opponent, in a strategic move by Friendly to bet against Terry and ultimately reap the earnings.
Knowing that he is the reason why Terry is now suffering under the hands of Friendly, Charley gives his brother the gun and allows him to escape, knowing full well that when he returns to Friendly, he will be facing his death for double-crossing his boss. Angry that he has failed to share the truth with the authorities, she implores him to listen to his conscience.
However, Terry is able to break in.
