An underrated masterpiece

Objectively speaking, this is a very traditional Western movie and has all the necessary elements of a Western movie. From the character setting to the environmental background and plot development of the story, to the final confrontation between good and evil and the spirit of punishing evil and promoting good, there are all traditions.
The two old cowboys are a late year but the sword is not old, and they still have the same demeanor for a year of no confusion. The two old are dying to death. They will lock the villain sheriff into jail and make fun of them. They will not forget to play the violin when they die. Good morning to the sheriff, I tried my best to dodge in the fight, and I couldn't get hit even when I walked in the rain of bullets. In the end, no one could guess.
You can say it is cliche, whatever you say, none of this can be a reason for me not to love it. The western scenery of the film is so beautiful that I can't refuse it. The vast grassland is integrated with the blue sky and white clouds. More than beautiful! A rough but tender cowboy, two people can do their best to save a drowning dog. Such a tacit understanding, are they brothers? Friends or father and son? In short, these two partners feel particularly at ease together. Although the depiction of love is so calm and heart-warming, the wandering cowboy wants to settle down when he encounters a warm and tidy hut. The chic tea set and bright flower garden all reveal the gentleness and elegance of the hostess. (In addition, the doctor's brother of the heroine is also a gentle and handsome man, both of whom are of the same style). Except for the lack of clean finish at the end, this film is absolutely superb.
