A piss-free western, a spoiler-free movie review

I know the movie is a remake, but I haven't seen the old movie, so I don't know how to compare it. I also know that the inspiration came from Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai", but I don't know much about Akira Kurosawa. Non-film professionals, pure audience feelings, don't spray if you don't like it.

Just finished watching it last night, just came over to say a few words. It has been a long time since I watched such a hearty western martial arts film. Compared with hateful right, I personally prefer such straightforward and concise films. I always feel that Westerns are the plot of the American rivers and lakes. This is a movie worth going to the theater to feast your eyes on. I really don’t recommend watching pirated copies. why? The three aspects of the film that I admire the most, if you watch the pirated version, you will not appreciate it (unless you have a movie theater-sized screen at home). The best part of the film is the scenery and scenes. The large screen makes the whole strong western complex come out. Students who are more familiar with the geography of the western United States can see some scenes of this film as a tourist promotion film. You can almost see several different states of Nevada, Utah and Colorado. It's very pleasant to sit in front of the screen and watch the vast sky and the earth, with seven horses galloping by! If you have the ability and conditions, it is recommended to go to the theater to contribute to the box office.

The second highlight is the rhythm of the whole film, not procrastination, not sensational, I'm really afraid of hateful eight kind of martial arts reasoning film, although Quentin has his own style, but watching the front part of his film takes too much patience . Fortunately, this film is the style I like, and the connection between literary drama and martial arts drama is good. You won't feel the purpose of long and long boring fights, nor will you feel the nonsense of the protagonists. If you're really looking forward to a good shootout, you'll love this one.

The third highlight is the reality of the scenes and characters, because the film restores the small town in the west of the year, and the details are really attentive. The road of the town is a very muddy dirt road, and there is a lot of dust around the mine, so that When I yawned while watching the screen at first, I felt like I was choking. Look at the faces and hands of the actors, you will feel very dirty, including the actresses, they are greasy, full of dust, and not a kind of dirt that floats on the surface, I really admire the makeup team in the United States It can allow the starring actors to achieve the characteristics of the black and dirty faces and hands accumulated over the years in a short period of time. I have only seen this kind of dirty feeling in Swordsman in Double Flag Town. I often feel that in the anti-Japanese war era, the ancient war and turbulent years, and the Jianghu movies, the faces of the little fresh meat and the little girls are whiter than the big steamed buns, which are too entertaining. After watching the movie for a long time, the audience will be attracted by these The details of the place affect the perception. In this film, Chris has a strong western accent, his face is also dirty, and Ethan Hawke has even deliberately changed his teeth into jagged dentures. The most striking thing is that he deliberately shows them The clear crow's feet that have been exposed to the sun, although the new actress is white, but fortunately does not have the feeling of the upper east side of the United States, as she said in the film, we are just farmers. In terms of acting skills, Denzel's performance this time is really quite satisfactory. Is it because of the constraints of old films, it doesn't give me the dazzling feeling of Django, and there are some problems with the lighting at the same time. It's just dark, and there are many places in the film that are too dimly lit, and it's hard to see his face and expressions. There is not the sharpness in his eyes that a bounty hunter should have, and he feels a bit like a knight who is about to seal a knife. Lian Po is old. Xingjue's performance is very good, you will be caught in seconds, several scenes make people feel so handsome, Korean Oppa's performance is also very good, when he shoots, it reminds me of Gu Long's Xiao Li Fei Dao "One knife, A knife". And the racism in Hollywood is well known. As an Asian, it is not easy for him to be such a heavyweight star and to be in Hollywood all year round. I hope there will be another person like Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee in our country. At first glance, actress Xiaohua thought it was Jennifer Lawrence, but she turned out to be a newcomer, but her performance was very appropriate to the temperament of the character of that era. It was the last scene, which was a bit abrupt in emotion. I don't know if it was the result of editing, but there was no face at all. You will feel that this is not a heroine, but a female man with complex emotions, which is distressing, admirable, and sympathetic. Finally, maybe it's because of the remake, I haven't seen the old movie, but at the end of the movie, the ending was spoiled ahead of time. It's so unpleasant in my heart, because all the emotions should be in the last battle. It broke out together, and the result was an early orgasm. Friends who have seen new and old films are welcome to come and exchange.
