The failure of Wilderness

It took place in Alabama. Strictly speaking, it is not a western story. There are those themes about the West, land and human rights, the relocation of nail households, people from the wilderness, struggling and building their homes, but they are unique, unlike half of them. The story is legendary. It's just ordinary farmers fighting landlords. Everyone is threatened by potential dangers but few people actually practice outsiders. The biggest action scene is a tavern fight; it's not as authentic as the other half. The fourth person broke into the family of three, but nothing happened. The husband was happily watching his wife and others, the world in the eyes of the child was too big because he had not seen the real West, and even a little bit of discrimination. In the United States, the minority population is the largest. It is also one of the states with the most serious racial discrimination. There is not even a single black or Indian in the film. The rich look down on the poor. Southern farmers clamored for Yankees to get out. In the end, he was nominated for an Oscar, which was a complete defeat compared with Kinneman's "Loyal Soul in a Time of Trouble".

    Classic Western movie example: The Western Ranger came to a newly established community. Although his every move reflected a sense of distance from the community, he was still righteous in the end and helped the community eliminate the threat of brutal violence. Children's Perspective: Joy's plasticity between the free and unruly values ​​represented by the Ranger and the orderly and gentle values ​​of a small family. At the same time, seeing the Ranger from the child's point of view constitutes the viewer's point of view, adding a romantic hero color. One of the faces of Westerners: Can't get rid of the ambiguous past, right and wrong, never settle down, wandering forever in the boundless western wilderness.
