In this film, Bout uses montages to reorganize and summarize the narratives of different time and space, showing a story of a robber who robs a train and is finally eliminated.
He broke the record style since Lumière and the screen stage style of Méliès, and created his own narrative style, making the film truly become an independent art.
The lens language is divided into story scenes and divided into 13 shots to develop the storyline. One of the shots depicting the robber jumping off the train and escaping into the valley uses the perspective of pan and overhead to display, which is extremely creative force.
The last scene where the robber shoots at the audience is also a very powerful classic shot, breaking the fourth wall of the stage.
