Although it has not changed, the hero will eventually fade away

There are many Westerns in Hollywood, but Texas is still an unfamiliar Texas.

Magical land, magic conservative sect gathering place, magic accent, magic shopping with guns.

If this is a stereotype, then the vast gray and yellow will never be fake.

This film is actually about the earth and sand.

Few films are as rough as spirits, but they don't talk about hangovers.

Actually, it's hard to say what historical legacy this movie is going to insinuate about. In a place like Texas, it has always been like a drunkard and rough, and it has never had much ups and downs.

It can't be said that Texans live a hard life, they are conservative. It cannot be said that the people of Texas are upright, they are staunch, and the unchanging Texas never needs anyone to praise or pity.

Come on, to put it bluntly, this movie just doesn't have a pattern.

It is nothing more than the end of the road, brothers draw swords, seek benevolence and benevolence, and seek land to obtain land.

It's over. It's boring to say that the Great Depression has led to poverty. If this is the case, why do you want to install an oil field on the land of the protagonist's family? If you want to despair, despair to the end. In a place that hates political correctness, why is there a need for a positive ending?

In fact, this is a story that cannot be left. The elder brother among the brothers couldn't leave the hot and exciting extrajudicial life. A person who could not die even if he loved his work miraculously killed himself. Let's take a look at our protagonist's younger brother. He is obviously brave and is very suitable for cowboy endorsement, but he is too cowardly. This cowardice is completely used to support the plot. I wouldn't watch my old brother go to die, cowardly, or because I couldn't live without my old love in my homeland. There is also the old sheriff who is about to retire. He can't do without the life of using his brain to beat chicken blood, and the days when he spends time with his deputy. In the end, he just pushed his old friend to the original arrangement. To your own withering death.

So, there is a dead end that is inseparable.

It is such a sad song, the old Texas, the old fate, is not far from the sound.

Even if he is never afraid of wind and rain, he is calm. It is as strong as a legend that has been circulating for centuries.

However, the hero is too late, a few feet of rigid body is still not as good as the dust and sand, ruthless is cruel after all, and the love is still drinking alone, hoping to break the west wind, leaving it for another day, and re-travelling the road to the end of the world.
