    No wonder, it is adapted from a true story, so the logic and characters are all right. The rider was silent and determined, caring for his loved ones, even though he was also seriously injured. One of the most solid strengths of human beings is in such...

    Taking care of cowboys and exploring people's hearts, the rough country people are actually delicate and gentle inside. After such a long period of preparation, the last few scenes showed the skill, and the emotional weight was reflected....

    The incapable hand is a carrier full of contradictions, which not only leads to the shattering of his dreams, but also symbolizes the powerlessness of holding on to his dreams and unwilling to let go. The wounded horse is dead, and the wounded man never gives up his dream. The vast land, the setting sun, the lack of energy, the never giving up, how small a person is, how big a heart...

    Very light, but if I had the money to make a movie, maybe I wanted to make a movie like this. #no...

    Not just quiet on-camera language, but also intense concentration: the picture is either a boy or a horse, or a boy and a horse, and this concentration brings emotional weight that is especially convincing when juxtaposed with the fate of the horse. The choice of the boy at the end of the movie reminds me of "extremely fast romance", even if there is a lot of reluctance, you have to learn to let go, because someone is waiting for you to go...

    78/100 There are too many movies about dreams, but very few like "Knight" that make the audience deeply feel the protagonist's sincere desire for dreams every second. It's Zhao Ting's original drama + director's American Western story again, it's...

    Zhao Ting has a moving, mature, extensive and delicate film language. In this work, I see the part of her that is very un-Chinese but deeply influenced by oriental values, like the early Ang Lee. Although the rider can be regarded as a literary version of the wrestling king, the metaphorical death in the last part of the film gives the film its own unique temperament. I think Zhao Ting will most likely be the first mainland director to win an Oscar as long as she doesn't get tripped up by...

    For a knight, a severe skull injury or not being able to re-grip the reins, which is more painful? For a Mustang, a torn thigh or the inability to gallop across the prairie, which hurts more? The signal of the brain cannot be transmitted to the palm, and the joy of life cannot satisfy life. Only has a superb martial arts, and can only be defeated in the face of a decadent life. Cowboy had to take care of his mentally handicapped sister and his epileptic brother, swipe the barcode of the...

    I was deeply moved. The rough and wild background theme can't hide the tenderness of a tough man. Some horses are destined to be untamed, and some are destined not to bow to reality. The horse has suffered an incurable injury, and ending its life is the best choice. What about the injured person? I was struck by this question all at once. The father and sister of the male protagonist and the disabled bull rider have the blood of the wilderness cowboy running in their veins. Many choices are...
