      The fun of the Deblin coach Xueye Mountain Temple

      The mountain is covered by heavy snow, and revenge is proceeding step by step. Even after the death of two sons, the target of revenge is still unaware and vigilant. He has been indulged in the bully in the mountains for a long time. He is too confident and has lost his combat effectiveness. Kill clean. The latter part of the whole film does show the style of American Westerns, but it is very enjoyable to combine with the indifference and dullness of the Germans. The story is well told. In the...

      Quick guns are important

      When I first watched this movie, my first impression was that a few villains who like to dance with guns and sticks, mainly lost to weapons. In the showdown in the wooden house, although the number of villains was dominant, they were slow to reload with only a few shots. The old-fashioned double-barreled musket, to challenge the Winchester lever rifle in the hands of the protagonist, can only be said that these bullies living in the mountains have extremely limited knowledge, which limits...

      Unique style and repeatedly sketched scene structure

      Similar to this kind of slow-paced westerns, you can only integrate yourself into the plot if you let yourself go, which is different from mainstream westerns, a wonderful viewing experience!

      When the protagonist played by Sam Riley faces his biological father, the facial expressions of the characters are really touching.

      There are constant climaxes, but the soundtrack of the last part of the 1V4 shootout is somewhat...

      true hero

      The film uses a realistic approach to outline the story of a young man going to the valley for revenge. The place where the biological father was killed at the end is still very helpless, which makes people feel very chest tight after watching it.
          At the beginning of the movie, the protagonist Greed walks on horseback. The soundtrack is great and the picture is beautiful. I was deeply attracted from the beginning. Where will the guilty one flee, he flees to the river, the river is...

      A modern allegory of stealth

      The photography and color of "Dark Hollow" are impressive.
      The scenery of the film is either magnificent or delicate. It has clear and beautiful lines and strong colors. Even the snow scene has distinct layers and attractive blue tones.
      The language of the shots depicting the characters has the reserved and quietness unique to German films. The quietness of German cinema can sometimes be depressing and boring. And "Dark Mountain and Forest" has a strong portrait like Rembrandt's oil...

      The tone is good, but the plot tension is not...

      Old-fashioned stories, the director has added a lot of new attempts to the texture of the western films. Personally, I think these little ideas are very good and endearing! But the actor's performance is...

      I think it's ok, a relatively slow and steady western feel, the storyline is that the cabbage is boiled in water, and the photography is not bad... Uh, anyway, there is no climax, it can be regarded as a...

      Mindless revenge. No technical shootouts. The pace is slow, the plot is too simple, and there is no suspense. In fact, there has long been a chance to solve it at one time. If it has to be complicated and create a sense of crisis, it is actually a bad movie. The male protagonist is a bit like Leonardo back...

      It's a rare German film that appeals to one's appetite, and the accent can be tolerated. It is this rice grain tip high-tech save all that will deduct one...

    Movie quotes

    • [first lines]

      Luzi: [narrating] Some things may not be spoken of things from the past--from long ago. But this does not mean you can ever forget them. There are things that can never be forgotten.

    • [last lines]

      Luzi: [narrating] He almost died of fever. He was ill for three weeks. Nobody said a thing, though there were many who wanted to chase him away. Or do worse. Old Brenner had sown his seed in every family. And freedom is a gift that not everyone likes to receive.

      Luzi: This year spring came earlier than usual. It was in March, just before noon, when Greider headed off. He looked back one last time. That was the last time I saw him. That day I told Lukas that I was with child. He was pleased and proud, because at last something good had happened.
