The last story is simply amazing, the graphics/tones are handled wonderfully, and the few short stories told through pure dialogue are also very attractive. The part after Gleeson sings that the two are bounty hunters can't help people outside the camera. Worry about the three people on the opposite side. The story stretches into a 90-minute movie worth watching. PS This section of color processing is very similar to the "Drunken Country Ballad" directed by the Coen...

【B+】In this grotesque world, use ridicule to resolve absurdity, use ballads to fight fate, and finally die in relief. On the whole, this film is more like a dismantling and summary of past works, and still has that exaggerated but impeccable sense of maturity at the text level. Judging from the text-image theme formed by the six stories, the "sense of nothingness" in the director's style is also stronger than in previous works. The calm face before, and the next story that slowly opened. Just...

When I watch it, I keep thinking of the American drama "Westworld" and the game "Red Dead Redemption", it's just materialized! Six short stories are connected in a book. The fifth story that impressed me the most. The bloody hole between the girl's eyebrows seems to be the portrayal and summary of her life. The one that Fu Lanlan appeared on was also very interesting, the little old man who was short and shrewd, carrying an iron pot and holding a shotgun, was the whole movie laughing. The Coen...

1. One of the best-sounding & good-looking movies of the year, or a melodious, lively, witty or mournful and solemn soundtrack, a majestic and desolate natural landscape (especially excellent at night), and a textbook-level audio-visual language, everything is just right. 2. The classic scenes of Western films such as bar battles, street duels, bank robbery, execution field fighting methods, gold mining, confrontation with Indians, carriage dialogues, etc. are all on stage, but the Coen...

I prefer the first four stories, which are minimal and extreme. If the latter two are not too chatty, they could almost become the personal best of the year. For an old gun like the Coen Brothers, this is a movie that was shot while playing. The combination of the wild survival law and the dark humor style is the absolute creative comfort zone of the brothers. How to play is how to have...
