The cowboy hat, the jeans, the handsome angular face, the prairie mountains and the interstate highway, the high-powered cars, and the small town are all the hallmarks of the western cowboy movie style. I came to see this movie with this western style, and it really is a pure western crime movie, it is easy to remind people of No Country for Old Men. The plot of this film highlights the theme of crime, a metaphor that the bottom peasants or traditional cowboys are forced to commit crimes under the oppression of the mortgage bank, but the outstanding performance is the brotherhood, adventure and freedom on the land between the cowboys Free and easy running. It's just that the times have changed. This is not the era when the United States was king at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it was still possible to carry out duels. This is the era of the rule of law. The film does not emphasize this point, but continues to express the traditional characteristics of Western cowboys, such as defending property and life safety, revenge for vengeance, and stubborn temper, which is nostalgic. However, in reality, guns are no longer an effective weapon to defend one's property. The current rules under the coat of civilization, especially financial and educational rules, are interspersed in everyone's life. We can't go back in time, despite the deep love for the land and the notion of traditional values that are outdated. Miss them, it is better to inherit and carry forward them in another way.
