    The film is as dull as the migration in the story, the scenery in the west is as desolate, and it is completely out of the way of the director. Even if you have Xiaomi, you can't even be interested in watching...

    Personally, I don't think this film is meant to show the scenery of the west. If you really want that, why use 16:9, why use 4:3. Confining the vast west within the frame, wanting to show a sense of powerlessness is...

    I watched it once and slept in the past twice. It is not literary and can't appreciate it....

    Breaking the space with jump cuts, compressing the size with the frame, and deliberately emphasizing the "time change" (sunset shot) are all constructing a virtual "reality". When human beings are stripped of their own vital signs, is the duality in their thinking still clear? Meek's final choice is the answer and cut...

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.
