    "We just play our roles, and it's all predestined before we come." The film deconstructs westerns with the spirit of Mother Earth, calm and powerful, full of tenacity, fading away adventure and legend, focusing on survival and belief. When we see another civilization facing survival freely and calmly, do we really have the self-proclaimed advanced and...

    I've been looking forward to it for a long time, the young generation of female directors in the United States is really not...

    Westerns, my favorite, but not much told from a female perspective. The mutual trust and tenacity between people shown in Westerns is farther and farther away from modern people. The female director expresses a point of view through Meek's mouth in the film, which is intriguing: Women are created on the principle of chaos, Men are created on the principle of destruction. Women create chaos, men destroy...

    The long day wears off the will, the dark night hides the fear, and the dull temperament that runs through the image of the light and dark alternating rhythm at a constant speed is just like the irritability, depression, and panic when everyone is looking for a destination.

    Do the actors know what they're doing? It's a bit like "The Blood Will Come", but it's too rambling, boring, and...

  • Adell 2023-08-11 10:03:59

    The square format "limits" the field of view, and a large number of medium and long-range shots are separated from each other, without any attempt to empathize, weakening all story elements, just like the director intercepted a section from the character's travel process and showed it to...

Meek's Cutoff quotes

  • Emily Tetherow: [starting breakfast before sunrise] Workin' like niggers, once again.

  • Emily Tetherow: You don't know much about women, do you Stephen Meek?

    Stephen Meek: Well, I, I know somethin' or other.

    Emily Tetherow: If you say so.

    Stephen Meek: Well, I know women are different from men. I know that much. Well, I'll tell you the difference if you care to hear.

    Emily Tetherow: I don't doubt you will.

    Stephen Meek: Women, women are created on the principle of chaos. The chaos of creation, disorder, bringing new things into the world. Men are created on the principle of destruction. It's like cleansing, ordering, destruction.
