Yancy Cravat: Louie Heffner, as coroner do your official duty and remove the body.

The protagonist Yancey reminds me of old Buendia in One Hundred Years of Solitude, who are full of trailblazers. There is a good line in the film: "The world is built by people like him, and people like me can only live on it." Indeed, without these pioneers, human beings may never progress. There is also a shocking scene: in the shootout, the little black servant took the initiative to save the master's child, but was shot and died. After the shootout, the child returned to his mother's arms, but the little black servant seemed to have been forgotten. He was also a Jewish hawker from a disadvantaged group. Bringing back his body is the greatest scene in the film.
