Friendship of two men

I have watched many westerns. The biggest highlight of this film is the friendship between the two pure men, Virgil and Everett. The few dialogues between the two are classics, and the scenes of playing together are even more memorable. Voiceover of Everett at the end of the film: I figured I'd saved Virgil's career as a lawman... ... and given him another chance with Allie. At least for the foreseeable future. As for the unforeseeable... well, it was out there waiting for me. I headed straight into the setting sun and rode west at an easy pace. It was gonna be a long ride... and there was no reason to hurry.

A heroic cowboy movie of atypical duel between good and evil, it focuses more on highlighting the character's personality and emotional portrayal, a complex life choice. Qi Wei looks elegant and snobby inside contrasts with prostitutes. Virgil's stubbornness and seeking peace, Everett's benevolence and freedom seeking. I like Mortensen's character very much, calm, humble, benevolent, uninhibited, unrestrained, and the supporting role is more handsome and cool than the protagonist.

In fact, Appaloosa Town is a little worse than Yuma Town. . .

Everett Hitch: That was quick.
Virgil Cole: Yeah, everybody could shoot.

Everett Hitch: [narrating] Like my father, I'd been West Point, and I was good at soldiering. But soldiering didn't allow for much expansion of the soul. So after the War Between the States and a year of fighting Indians, I turned in my commission and rode away to see how much I could expand it. First time I met Virgil Cole was when I and my eight-gauge backed him up in a showdown he was having with some drunken mountain men. Virgil asked me right there on the spot if I'd care to partner up with him and his peacekeeping business. Which is why I was with him now, and why I still carry the eight-gauge. We'd been keeping the peace together for the last dozen years or so. And as we looked down on a town called Appaloosa, I had no reason to doubt we'd be doing just that for the foreseeable future.
Everett Hitch: But life has a way of making the foreseeable that which never happens, and the unforeseeable that which your life becomes.
