It took two hours to watch the movie that tls said that in the first ten minutes, he stood on the roof and shouted for everyone to watch.
Six independent stories, the plot is as compact as reading a short story. All the elements of western films can basically be found in this film, the free and uninhibited ranger sharpshooter, the persevering and determined gold diggers, cowboys, Gobi, grasslands, taverns, ubiquitous gun fights, chaos and noise finally ended in In a gray-toned metaphor of death.
The Coen brothers have always been violent, absurd and black humor, but this time it is more cruel and nihilistic of "heaven and earth are not benevolent and all things are dogs". The knight who is happy and revenge is caught off guard and is replaced by a new legend. Shelley and Shakespeare are still replaced by a chicken who knows how to count. The criminal who escaped by chance ended up on the gallows without reason, and almost fell into the mold of a love story. The fifth story was also pulled back on track by the black-bellied old man in time.
All deaths always come unexpectedly and even be handled in a bland and scribbled way. Life is impermanent. I remember that, like Fu Lanlan, I did not forget to see the most beautiful girl in the crowd before execution.
