The desert, the yellow sand, the horizon, the lonely knight, this journey must be full of hardships. Every opponent despised him and tried to defeat him. He overcame the hunger and thirst, the fierce sandstorm, and fell into conflict between tribes. This is a search In the journey of self, the princess seeks for her self as a female in the Arab world, while the male protagonist seeks for her self of Indian descent. The director seems to like to highlight the red color, from the burning Indian tent, the red shirt of the white commander, the red building background before the male lead sets off, and the red scarf. The scenes of sandstorms and locust plagues are very oppressive, and the galloping horses at the end are even more spectacular. The soundtrack is in line with the geographical shape of the plot background, sometimes melodious, sometimes passionate, and easily recognizable Indian and Arabic style soundtrack. The neutral and fast-paced editing, the plot is compact, the unique charming temperament of Vigo Mortensen, and the slightly melancholic and angular face, it is very good to set off the atmosphere. From the white people's suppression of the Indians and the description of the Arab slave market, it can be seen that the film has a left-wing ideology. The emotional description between the horse and the man can go further.
