I didn’t have much preparation for watching this film. I shouldn’t have any expectations for an old actor who changed his career to become the director’s first work. I just watched it on the night of the New Year’s Day, and there were pops coming from the window from time to time. With the sound of firecrackers, my heart is following the old Tommy more and more. The more I look at it, the more I admire it.

The screenwriter is top-notch and skillful. This is a very solid story about salvation. A good structure is one aspect. The design, collocation and positioning of each character are absolutely perfect. Almost all the characters on the scene have a solid background and great information. The amount, the pen is not idle, and the aftertaste is bearable.
Among them, the blind old cowboy who lost his son at the US-Mexico border has just two scenes, showing an old man’s piety and awe of God, helplessness and loneliness in the face of life’s suffering, generosity and frankness towards cowboys, and law enforcement. The natural defenses and keen insight of the readers outline it, and this old man who represents the western spirit that is slowly dying out is really amazing.
There is also that old Tommy's "rival in love", the police chief, a scene that he didn't know how to shoot and kill Lao Tang, the editing, directing, and acting were amazing.
Here, all the characters are flesh-and-blood "humans", and the handling is very accurate. There are not many lines, they are all "human" words, but they are rich in connotation and information-it is not just about keeping promises. One point, I later learned that the screenwriter won the Cannes Best Screenplay Award for this film. Yes, it should!

The first time the old Tommy director appeared very calm, simple, and tasteful, the rhythm of the whole film was controlled without rush, calm and calm, no fancy scenes, no conflicts and conflicts of hoarseness, no violent feelings of tempest, but its inherent The rich human tension is enough to attract the audience to see the bottom-Barry Pepper, who was originally extremely empty and numb with only a shell left, embarked on a journey of redemption under the pressure of old Tommy, and was finally able to release his soul. In the last shot, Before he knew it, he started to care about others, and he asked the old Tommy who was away alone uncomfortably loudly: Are you okay...

All the actors' performances are impeccable, and the biggest surprise to me is the familiar Barry Pepper. , Neurotic, melancholy, emptiness, fear, full of struggle, this year's best male partner should really be given to him! Later, I found out that he had always played a supporting role: "Saving Private Ryan", "Green Mile", "National Enemy", "25 Hours"... This is a powerful acting school that will come out sooner or later.
