If a man is so stupid that he needs a woman to do business with him, then she won't want him anymore.

The story of this film takes place at the beginning of the founding of the United States. That era can be said to be the era of cowboys and bounty hunters. In the vast borderless desert, railways are built everywhere. Scattered small towns and villages. It is not difficult for us to think of those classic American Westerns such as Sergio Lionel and Clint Eastwood's "Fistful of Dollars" and Lionel's epic Western movie "Once Upon a Time in the West". However, the western film "McCabe and Mrs....

The broken American dream

"Flower Village" can be regarded as a work of Robert Altman's style. It tells the story of a bragging gambler (McCabe) and a smoking prostitute (Mrs. Miller) who jointly "started a business". Altman overlooked the entire town from the perspective of God, calmly depicting the sorrow of the little people under the background of the big era (economic monopoly, immigration wave, feminism, etc.) at the end of the gold rush in the early 20th century. This is a typical author's film, and the audience...

There is also poetry in my heart, my soul is frozen by you

There is also poetry in the heart, and the soul is frozen by you. When the film ends, everyone spontaneously applauds. To be honest, the first half of the film didn't make me feel good, and the second half contained a strong poetic flavor. Robert Altman created a lot of smoke effects and natural light and kerosene lamps created a faint yellow feeling. I still want to talk more about people. McCabe has a lot of problems, so it is true, so true that it is often said that a small person is in a...

The journey of small and middle-aged people in the western pioneers and the end of their efforts to seek love

American film critic Roger Albert commented that " Robert Altman has made all kinds of great movies , and Hanamura is the only perfect movie among them." He called Hanamura one of the saddest movies he has ever seen, full of With the yearning for love and home, Hanamura is an elegy for death.

Why John McCabe must die

The 1960s and 1970s were an era of ups and downs in American politics and society, as well as an important facade of Hollywood—the era of decline of western films. Western films have always been given the mission of promoting the American spirit. As a result, the heroic cowboys, the awe-inspiring sheriffs, and the beautiful and attractive prostitutes representing the truth, goodness and beauty, American mythology and spirit in the movie, were involved in a series of events such...

Cohen's song, as the only soundtrack, presupposes a humanistic perspective. Based on this, he first builds a space that is different from the yellow sand in the sky. Before Dongmu's "Unforgivable", it revolved around the theme of mourning and compassion. The western anti-type that created Ultraman's...

A. The iconic zoom lens quickly establishes the positional relationship between people and the world. Efficient narration also preserves the texture to the greatest extent. From the color of photography to the inner emotions, it is like a cocktail with rich layers: the sweetness of tenderness (warm care of collective life), the spicyness of jest (comedy image of external strength and dryness), cruel bitterness (unprovoked killing of passers-by), the aftertaste is faint The sourness (the white...

It's always heartbreaking to think about it! (Because of the contrast of Warren Beatty?) The picture is blurry, like an oil painting, it is not very clear, but the whole is so beautiful. 4K big screen, the wet and green village in the opening scene couldn't help crying as soon as it came out, the rain really looked so wet and humid. (It's a strange tear) (Cohen's music also contributed to a certain extent) (The key point is that Vilmos and Cohen are both TTs that just hung up this...

awesome. The cross-editing is very eye-catching. For example, at the end, everyone saves the burning, and the church has fallen into disrepair. The combination of cohen's songs and movies is also great, especially the male protagonist ego muttered to himself in his room after being injured. Cohen's songs are only left with the accompaniment, and the conceited monologue of the male protagonist becomes the lyrics at this moment. It is the tenderness of the movie. The brothel was called bearpaw...
