The six stories seem to be unrelated, but they actually confirm our life.

When we were young, we were as fearless as the white male protagonist in the first story, full of joy, and felt that we were different. Every day we had nothing to worry about going to Tsinghua or Peking University, until we encountered a problem that was too difficult to imagine. And then got knocked down.

Entering adolescence, this time, like the male protagonist of the second story, we learned to be rebellious. We thought that we had time and that we still had a chance, and then unknowingly we found that we had no chance. have grown up.

Then I started to enrich myself and learn to keep a low profile, just like the disabled male protagonist in the third story, he is obedient to the boss, but the society is so realistic, no matter how hard you work and how much you contribute to the company, once you find it is useless, A kick away, isn't it quick to make a substitution?

Until one day I came to my senses and decided to rely on my own efforts to live a happy life, just like the old man in the fourth story, who worked hard year after year. Some people are shameless, and there are always people who want to get something for nothing. They will keep staring at them, crawling on themselves, and giving you a cold shot. I finally dismissed all these things, thinking that it was all right, and I could spend my old age in peace, but I began to see my relatives disappear one by one, and I became timid and fearful of death.

Then came the sixth story. In his later years, he will become an old man he once hated, bitter and mean, and then he will return to the basics. Finally, unknowingly read the memories of my life to others, dust returns to a cup of loess, life is like the rule set by the coachman, the carriage leads to death, and it is absolutely fair to never stop.

    The six stories are scattered in structure but unified in style, blending the wild west of "Thunder in the Land", the melancholy melody of "Drunk Country Folk Song", and the impermanence of "Old Nowhere".

    The Coen Brothers' "Bast Scruggs Ballad" is a collection of short films. But what does it matter? The fifth story alone is close to five stars. A trip to the caravan escort that accompanies death accidents, mutual trials, and leads to a new hope is orderly and heart-shattering: the young girl who has been mentally nervous and sensitive, with a barking puppy, is about to look forward to a bright future, but the movie Unexpectedly, the song ended. The whole movie has a wanton and legendary literary meaning. Of course, I also like other stories, like the humming sharpshooter-he is waiting for you in heaven; the unlucky robber-how wonderful life is, like before you die The good girl who took a long look); the old man who returned the bird's egg is a savage story that happened in the west. Wonderful, dangerous, full of enigmatic uncertainty. Reciting the "Ozmandis" written by Shelley from the little brother, is it not a contract to pass through the great shark in an instant. On the other hand, the summary statement of the last story is somewhat pretending to be clear-the film reviews have been written out.

  • Buster Scruggs (segment "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs"): Misanthrope? I don't hate my fellow man, even when he's tiresome and surly and tries to cheat at poker. I figure that's just a human material, and him that finds in it cause for anger and dismay is just a fool for expecting better.
