It's been a long time since I saw such a traditional, heavy and tragic Western movie. The opening introduction sets the tone of the whole movie: depression, confusion, loneliness, and desolation. The story itself is full of contradictions and entanglements: a battle-tested captain who is about to retire has to escort his former opponent-an old Xia'an chieftain and his family back to his hometown. Heaven and earth, love and hate, love and righteousness, life and death, right and wrong gradually blurred, the more difficult it is to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. When the last two old opponents shook hands tightly, forgiveness finally found a way out of reconciliation and peace in the heart. All wars have no glory and no victor. It brings only prejudice, hatred and trauma.
