      Clean western movie

      Key agreement
      tags: Nick Cave Guy Pearce The west

      was originally directed at Guy Pearce. After watching it, I found that I hadn't seen such a clean movie for a long time. I have always loved Western movies~ The vast scenery, the sky is full of yellow Sha, in a desolate setting, the character's story is very strong.

      Speaking of Guy Pearce, the young policeman who is also good and evil in the Los Angeles Confidential, the "real" Andy Warhol in the factory girl, a new film...

      plot

      Set in the Australian outback in the 1880s, the movie follows the series of events following the horrific rape and murder of the Hopkins family, allegedly committed by the infamous Burns brothers gang.

      The film opens in a brothel during a violent gunfight between the police and Charlie Burns' (Guy Pearce) gang, which ends with the deaths of all of the gang members except for Charlie and his younger brother Mikey. Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone) makes the proposition to Charlie: he and...

      A movie to understand Australia

      Harsh natural environment, dirty body, evil soul, longing for good

      Natural environment, human history, white people, indigenous people, good people and bad people. The contradiction between man and man, the contradiction between man and nature. Struggle and survival, civilization and barbarism, murder weapon and people. Various factors collide in the movie, bursting out dazzling sparks. I feel that this film condenses the history of Australian immigration development in these two...

    Movie quotes

    • Jellon Lamb: Perhaps you've read "On the Origin of the Species By Means of Natural Selection" by Charles Darwin. Oh, don't be thrown by the title, he had some most fascinating things to say. Chilling things. Mr. Darwin spent time studying Aboriginals. He claims we are, at bottom, one in the same. He infers, Mr. Murphy, that we share a common ancestry with monkeys.

      [cackles]

      Jellon Lamb: Monkeys!!!

    • Jellon Lamb: Mr. Murphy, Russia, China, the Congo, oh, I have traveled among unknown people in lands beyond the seas. But nothing, *nothing* could have prepared me for this godforsaken hole.

      Charlie Burns: I know who you are.

      Captain Stanley: Good. I know who you are.
