Anti-genre Westerns, the look and feel at the beginning is still very good, the simple hints of chapters appear at the beginning, and the simple and elegant books give people the texture of vicissitudes. The first chapter of the Ballad of Buster Scruggs, the western accent, the duel of the cowboys is fascinating, although the content is an old western story, but the sudden ending made me realize that the film is not simple . Buster is like an alien who broke into the western world, bringing a cheerful ballad to the desolate and cruel western world. A neat and decent dress symbolizes peace, order, or the destiny of God. Buster arrived at the ideal shore and silently watched the land. Chapter 2 In the ridiculous desert bank near Algodones, the childish robber seems calm and peaceful after everything. It looks a little "Yu Hua", and the background and status of the characters can be associated with each other. At the same time, however, the plot seems too simplistic. Chapter 3 Harrison's Instructor, the design of carriages and towns is a bit like Red Dead Redemption. The tragic meaning of the story is very strong. The relationship between the two seems elusive. At first, they were like father and son brothers, but later they were pure interests, and the ending was extremely cruel. The whole feels like a fairy tale. The disabled person who tells the same story thousands of times, his enthusiasm is not extinguished by the indifference of the audience, and stands like a stone statue in the story. The ending of the Coen brothers' fairy tale must not be heart-warming, but this aphasia who struggles with fate has become the most vivid image in the whole film. The fourth chapter, Golden Canyon, tells the story of man and nature. The stoic and optimistic old man conquered the tricks of nature and fate. The story as a whole is very bland, but the scheduling of each element is very comfortable, and I personally like it. Chapter 5, Loud President Pierce Jr., about the fragility of women. Personally, my least favorite is that the whole story is unexpectedly long. The female lead's skills are not online, and the whole story is more messy and less philosophical. The western from the perspective of women is worth thinking about, after all, westerns are almost exclusively male-dominated. Chapter 6 The mortal remains, the downloaded resource soundtrack was broken when I saw it here, so I didn't understand the second half. The dramatic performance in a small space once again created a sense of freshness, telling the story of death in a metaphorical form. Generally speaking, it is not perfect, but it is still full of sincerity. Except for the fifth chapter, I did not take too much memory of a certain story. It is still the taste of the Coen brothers.

    3.5 The first four are good, from absurd song and dance comedy to black humor and then suddenly changed into tragic and aria. The last two are slightly close.

    1. One of the best-sounding & good-looking movies of the year, or a melodious, lively, witty or mournful and solemn soundtrack, a majestic and desolate natural landscape (especially excellent at night), and a textbook-level audio-visual language, everything is just right. 2. The classic scenes of Western films such as bar battles, street duels, bank robbery, execution field fighting methods, gold mining, confrontation with Indians, carriage dialogues, etc. are all on stage, but the Coen brothers' iconic existential philosophy and black humor make it To be a counter-genre that plays with viewer expectations, overflowing with absurdity, chance, loneliness, pathos and death. 3. Story 1 has the taste of [Drunk Township Folk Ballad], Story 2 is a joke [The Bad and the Bad], Story 3 is like the real version of [Freak], Story 4 is like a variation of the comedy version of [Blood and Sands], and Story 5 is the most complete and most complete. resignedly. Story 6 is reminiscent of [ghost carriage], full of gothic style. 4. Flip the book as the transition from the beginning to the end and the transition, giving people the pleasure of reading. 5. Confessions of the Bounty Killer/Death at the end (telling the story before the attack is attractive) is both charming and reflexive, just as we were finally caught up in the story of the Coen brothers and fell into the abyss. (9.5/10)
