Great, getting better and better, ending abruptly in John's memory. The theme of "revolution" was a comedy from the very beginning. The first half of the film was full of gag, and it was very hilarious. What does a bandit who goes into battle with the whole family and a bomb expert with a mysterious origin have anything to do with the revolution? It was not until Hu An's family died in that cave that the audience began to face the topic of "revolution". The director's attitude towards revolution is undoubtedly full of idealism and reservations. History has proven that leaders who come and go are just one dictatorship after another. Would it be better for a bandit like Juan to become a general? Revolution is nothing but killing each other and taking turns. But the director repeatedly mentioned the distant and not-so-distant America through the mouths of the two male protagonists. It seems to be a beacon for all revolutionaries, and the revolution must be done in that way! This is the silver lining of the revolution. The whole of South America is in revolution, what is it like now? How much did it cost? What's the future? The director pointed out the direction painstakingly.

This is no longer just a Western, but a stylized comedy, a far-reaching fable, and a majestic epic. In my personal opinion, its level is higher than that of the famous Red Dead trilogy, and it is not even below "Once Upon a Time in America".

Juan Miranda: Listen, Günther Ruiz is after us, and now Villa wants to talk to me, I think we should get outta here.
Sean Mallory: [puffing on cigar] Well, Jesus, Juan-o, you can't leave now, you're a great, grand, glorious hero of the revolution.
Juan Miranda: Uh, can I tell you something?
Sean Mallory: What?
Juan Miranda: [whispering] Fuck you.

Juan Miranda: What's that?
John H. Mallory: It's a map.
[Juan lies down on top of it]
John H. Mallory: It's your country you're lyin' all over, there!
Juan Miranda: [drowsily] Hm-hm. Not my country. My country's... me and my family.
John H. Mallory: Well, your country's also Huerta, the governor, the landlords... Günther Ruiz and his locusts... this little revolution we're having here.
Juan Miranda: [alert] A revolution? "Little revolution"? Please, don't try to tell me about revolution! I know all about the revolutions and how they start! The people that read the books, they go to the people that don't read the books, and say "Ho-ho! The time has come to have a change, eh?"
John H. Mallory: Shhhh...
Juan Miranda: [mimicking John] Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh, SHIT, SHUSH! I know what I am talking about when I am talking about revolutions! The people who read the books go to the people who can't read the books, the poor people, and say, "We have to have a change." So, the poor people make the change, ah? And then, the people who read the books, they all sit around the big polished tables, and they talk and talk and talk and eat and eat and eat, eh? But what has happened to the poor people? THEY ARE DEAD! That's your revolution! Sh... so, please... don't tell me about revolutions. And what happens afterwards? The same fucking thing starts all over again!
John H. Mallory: [exhales] Whew. Hmmm.
[throws a book he was reading into the mud: Mikhael A. Bakunin, The Patriotism]
