go through fire and water

I wanted to recommend a Western movie for a long time, but I didn’t know how to describe the unique temperament in it. Now I finally found a movie review that caught my heart. Share a picture?

Texas really is a place full of stories. From the pioneer white men who dig for gold while beheading Indians, to the cowboys who rode their horses full of phlegm waiting for a duel at noon, to the railroad tycoons who came to crush the boy's cowboy dreams with the industrial revolution rolling in. What has changed is the rudeness of "your laws are not as easy to use as ours". Said to be heroic, they are almost savage when they are mad; to say that they are savage, but behind their agility are just simple and simple folk customs. Who knows the real picture? I have never been there in person, but I only know that the Texas block under the lens is a magical land that I absolutely do not want to live in for a long time, but it is difficult to resist its unique charm.

Far too far, as a movie fan, I just sigh about the decline of the western theme. The new traditional style westerns are all like the remake of "The Brave Seven Flood Dragons". Only works like "Unforgivable" and "No Country for Old Men" can still sigh at dusk. brilliant. regret…
