      It's human nature

      It's my first time to watch John Huston's movie. Still stunned by its sign of human nature. The major stoyline is based on two impoverished people who have lost sight of future. They struggle to make a living even at the expense of the loss of dignity before meeting the old wise man in the bar. He gives them a road to the fortune. When everything is going on well as they think, greedy appears and begins to occupy the dark side of human nature gradually. Ascalation of contradictions become...

      A unique western.

      There is no joy and hatred, and even the setting is not the western of yellow sand, small towns, ranches, and cowboys, but this is really a western. This adventurous spirit is probably one of the characteristics of Westerns.
      The film doesn't even have a female character. But all kinds of things do not prevent it from being full of tension, and the suspense is carried through from beginning to end. The fate of the three gold diggers is both logical and unexpected. There's no black humour at...

      Should you love money if you get it out of the way?

      If I use a movie to witness the test of human nature by money, I would probably choose this one. What impressed me the most was the old man's evaluation of Bogart. He should not be overly condemned for killing his accomplices. In fact, he should be on the average level of human nature, just don't leave it in the mountains, surrounded by 100,000 yuan. I also agree that Bogart's character is absolutely at least an average person in ordinary society and morality. It can be seen from the fact that...

      The translated name is excellent, and the story is also excellent. It is a story full of fate and causality, but it is also unexpectedly exciting. There are the opposition between the rich and the poor, the opposition between man and the wilderness, the opposition between "civilization" and the indigenous people, and the good in human nature. The confrontation with evil, the battle between people, and the final ending of the windy Jinsha is too good. The tribute to Kubrick's debut work should...

      The plot is ups and downs, neat and tidy, the characters are full and rich, and a satirical north wind at the end blows the idea of ​​the whole film to a new height. Although it does not have the tune of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", it is worth: 9 points,...
