Read the movie "Through Water and Fire"

Plot introduction: Two brothers rob a bank along the road for their family and family farm, and two Texas Rangers chase them along the road.

In order to facilitate the understanding of the movie, the important timeline is listed: my brother shot his father and was jailed for ten years, and was released from prison for one year. His mother dies of illness, and at his brother's request, he helps with the bank robbery scheme.

This is a movie for men!
Lord of the plains. Lord of the plains. Brother Turner is a violent, impulsive, paranoid person. There are two points in the film that help to understand my brother's heart: first, my brother went back to the room where his mother died of illness, looking at the hospital bed and recalling his mother, his eyes were red; The sentence "I love you", the sentence "I mean it" when I lowered my sunglasses. From the beginning to the end, the brother has a firm position on the view that crimes will be punished, which is clearly described in the film. In the film, when the two brothers were eating at the restaurant, the older brother said, "I've never met nobody who got away with anything, ever. You?" This reminds me of a story about a boy who donated blood to an injured girl in an elementary school text. He thought he would die because of donating blood, but he gave blood anyway. Going back to the movie, it can be seen what kind of mentality the elder brother has in helping his younger brother carry out the robbery plan. Ben Foster played his brother's manic, irritable character well. I don't know the actor Ben Foster, but I have the impression that I have seen Jason Statham and the mechanic starring him. But in this film, his acting skills are still highly praised. The deepest memory is the scene when the brothers were staying at the "Comanche 66" hotel where he flirted with the girl at the front desk. Yan Zhi), it may be that he is not hot enough, otherwise this scene will be more classic.






The younger brother Toby is gentle and humble, firm in heart, and takes care of the family, but he is a bad father and husband, divorced, and has no idea how to get along with his children. 弟弟对哥哥的爱，片中有一处描述，就是暴揍绿跑男。Both brothers are not good at expressing feelings, but these actions show a deep brotherhood.



Brother, "Asshole could've killed you.'" This bastard could have killed you.

The music at the beginning of the film is desolate, vicissitudes, and a strong western desolation, which is somewhat similar to the Westworld at the beginning of the American TV series "Westworld".
It was revealed from the brothers' first robbery that they were not repeat offenders of bank robberies. Because they are not familiar with the banking system, do not know who holds the keys to the safe, when the person holding the key goes to work, and do not know that there is no cash in the drawer when it first opened. In the later robbery, it can be seen that the brothers did not step on the spot, and even the bank was closed without knowing it, and the timing of entering the bank to rob was uncertain. They got one thing right, and only robbed banks in remote, small towns.
There are several scenes in the film that show the sturdy Texas folk customs, which are quite flavorful: one is the old man who deposited coins at the Olney branch, and chased after the brothers with guns when they were about to flee; The truck man (here there is only a mouthpiece), threatened to let him see the suspect hanged directly from the tree; the third is the younger brother's lawyer, who said that the brothers returned the money earned from the casino to the bank very Texan style ( The side brings out the Texas spirit of the lawyer himself); the fourth is Obasan, who is domineering in the hotel and controls the field, and quelled the arrogant old mounted police; the fourth is the uncles who shot the brothers outside the Bost Bank, the whole town The convoy pursued with guns, and the scene was evident.




"pay those bastards back with their own money? Well, if that ain't texan, i don't know what is." Paying off the bank's debt with the bank's own money, that's how Texans do things.



Explain that in some important plots in the
film, there are two obvious emotional expressions of my brother in the movie, one is visiting the hospital bed where my mother died of illness, and recalling the past. When visiting the hospital bed in the room where his mother died, the elder brother finally said that his mother never wanted to have anything to do with her. The film explained that it was because the elder brother shot and killed his father.
My brother said "She always hated me for standing up to him." She just hated me for being against him. He was referring to his father.
Brother, "we all got punished. You never understood that fighting back makes the beating last longer."
Brother, "No, I understood. that's why i stopped fighting and shot that son of bitch" No, I understood. So I stopped fighting and just shot him down. (The film explains why the elder brother was in prison for ten years and why he did not communicate with his mother. The mother hated that the elder brother shot and killed the father, and the elder brother has always been against the father, so the mother has always been indifferent to the elder brother. But note that the younger brother was shot and killed by the elder brother when his father was shot. In this matter, there is no blame at all.)
Another point is that when he finally parted, his brother deliberately stopped the sentence "I love you" at the beginning, and lowered the sunglasses and said "I mean it".
Brother, "let's go." Let's go.
Brother, "get to the casino change the money like we planned. This was your plan. and it worked. every step pf the way. trust it" It was your plan, and it worked. Every step is in your design, believe it,
Brother, "where are you headed? Don't be stupid!" Where are you going? Do n't be silly
brother, "i love you, toby. I mean it" I love you, Toby. My true
brother, "i love you too" I love you too.

In addition, on the morning of the last robbery, the younger brother went to wake up the elder brother. The unexpected attack action of the elder brother shows that the elder brother is in a chaotic life after the family suffered from his father. After that, it has become insecure. In addition, some people responded that the younger brother was shot and the blood was not detected. The younger brother was shot after jumping into the car, and the blood was all on the car. blood on it. Maybe part of the reason is to prevent the blood of the younger brother from being detected, deep love.

The older brother has a strong opinion on the issue of punishment for crimes. Relevant line excerpt:
Brother, "you know, you talk like we ain't gonna get away with this." You said it like we couldn't get away.
Brother, "I've never met nobody who got away with anything ,ever. You?" I've never met someone who has done bad things without being punished, how about you?
Brother, "then why in the hell did you agree to do it?" Then why did you agree to do it together?
Brother, "because you asked, little brother." Because you asked me to help, brother.

The younger brother, the expression on his face when he learned that his brother was killed in the casino, his face was pale, his face was ashen, his eyes were empty and nothing. This reminds me of the sentence that the hero asked in the movie "Hunting", what do you see in my eyes? Nothing at all!

The line explained by the younger brother at the end of the film: "i've been poor my whole life.so were my parents,their parents before them.it's like a disease,passing from generation to generation,becomes a sickness,that's what it is,infect every person you know, "I've been poor all my life, and so were my parents and grandparents, poverty is like a disease, passed down from generation to generation, and that's it, it can infect everyone you know.

Toby said, I want to close this sooner.
