Fate in a Western

Bailee 2022-04-19 09:01:40

Western films mostly win with exquisite structure and personality, and few are very "big", such as "The Blood Will Come" and so on. This "Going through fire and water" is also a film, which sees the embarrassment and twisting of old Texas in the industrial age, and the sense of fate of everyone in it. The film begins to enter the theme from two clues living in the motel. Two shots are interspersed, one is two policemen, one is lying on the side with a bored face, the other is walking in the moonlight with a gypsy blanket; the other is two brothers. People, one is also lying sideways with his head covered, and the other is having sex. There are embarrassing fates everywhere: the Indian police officer who joked that he wanted to miss the old police officer's grave died first; the robbed bank became a trustee but didn't want to sue; the robber was out of the original intention of taking back his land and won The sympathy of the Texans in the diner. . . The old police officer and the robber's younger brother are like two grains of dust in the embarrassing fate of the entire industrialization of the American West. They are not two people who are binary opposites. They are more appropriate to sit down and drink a bottle of beer. Jeff Bridges has starred in Westerns all his life, with the soundtrack by Nick Cave. The Texans are so fierce, the whole county is chasing the robbers. . .

    I can see the taste of the Coen brothers... The narrative style is close to old and nowhere, the soundtrack and the style of the film are a bit like the western version of the ice storm, the folk customs are sturdy and pure Texans, the town with the color of the sunset, the rolling roads and the wasteland, The constant emergence of country music reminds you that it is a literary film. (Benfu is deliberately gaining weight, right?

    The rhythm, drama, photography, and music are all first-class. The road movie and the theme of brotherhood are full of enthusiasm. This is the unbridled youth.
