In the old version, the girl found the funeral home door closed when she arrived, so she went to the execution ground to watch the hanging and then went to the funeral home to see her father’s The remains; the new version reads the remains before going to the execution ground, and adds the plot of the prisoner pleading guilty before execution;

    It's the most tender movie of the Coen brothers I've ever seen. The ten-minute ending of the film, Old Jeff's heartfelt "I'm old" is really teary... the ending song "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" sounded, and the emotions continued. Last time The same feeling is still the ending theme of "Brokeback Mountain"...very good, very good.

    A magnificent western dirge of the Coen brothers, mellow and not without sourness. 1. The three characters are all made with flesh and blood: although the sheriff is rude, alcoholic, and discriminates against Indians and Chinese, he is bold, affectionate and righteous; the girl who is determined to avenge her father is determined, wise and brave, and she believes in justice and a little bit. Naive, Hailee Steinfeld is fantastic; Damon's sharpshooter Mounties is also impressive. 2. The endless deserts, snowfields, caves, bonfires, forest huts under the night, and silhouettes of galloping in the wilderness or riding against the stars at dusk... Roger Deakins' photography fully demonstrates the beauty of the West, Carter Burwell's score is also remarkable. 3. There is no shortage of Cohen-esque brushstrokes in the film—a world full of chance, impermanence, and out-of-control, like hanged strangers, riverside encounters after losing clues, misfired revolvers, and sudden blows from recoil and snake caves. 4. At the end, the "Wild West Show in History" circus not only refers to the end of the western pioneering era, but also declares the beginning of the construction and spread of western mythology. 5. The final vision silhouette is homogenous to [Unforgivable], but one room is missing. (9.0/10)
