After reading the Ballad of Buster Scruggs, I suddenly understood the drawbacks of "secondary absorption". At first, I swiped the commentary of the first story on Douyin, which is the name of the movie. I thought the content was very novel, thinking it was an anti-routine style, and then read the whole article. The final realization is that the anti-routines in Buster Scruggs' ballads are not anti-routines for anti-routines' sake, but do convey some ideas, mostly about the unknown and death. The movie tells a dark and absurd story in a western background, and in the editing of some short video creators, it became a funny movie. There are many obviously wrong plot introductions in the editing. Probably they thought it was just a funny movie, I just want It's okay to keep funny clips to make people laugh, but in fact, any point of absurdity is heavy. The difference between movies and books is that everyone in the movie has the details that everyone observes, and everyone has the focus of everyone. This is the charm of the movie, and it is also one of the sources of the richness of the interpretation of the movie. "Secondary absorption" allows you to only see the part that others see, lacks the original flavor, and even over-processing leads to a wrong understanding of the theme of the movie. The movie is really good, although the last story is a bit confusing before I read the movie review, it is recommended to turn on the lights to eat, because the west is really desolate~. It's been a long time since I watched a movie, so I wrote a review to commemorate it.
