It’s so cool. Where is the 14-year-old Loli? This is clearly the head of the family who is full of the world. He is young and old, emotionally restrained, and shrewd. In two negotiations with the racecourse businessmen, 14-year-old Mattie Ross once again proved She is shrewd, and whoever thinks of her as a 14-year-old child will definitely not have good fruit.
Uncle Loli may be able to take advantage of her childhood, but it is not a good thing to climb to the top of life too early. She already has all the abilities needed in life in the future and is ready for the upcoming climax. , But after the climax, in the foreseeable gentle slope of life decline, the only thing that lingers in the heart is the memory of the peak, which is somewhat boring.
The film "Thunder in the Ground" is unfolded in the memories of Mattie Ross, who has come down from the peak of his life. It is destined that this story will not be a western fairy tale. When she said that everything in the world has a price, in fact, the tone of the film has been laid, and it is by no means only that the murderer Chaney will not get away with impunity.
Of course Chaney paid the price and was shot by Mattie himself. Chaney should be quite aware of his fate when he shoots others. What awaits him is either exposing the dead body or hanging the gallows, but it is a matter of sooner or later. So when Mattie used the tricks of fooling other gangsters to fool him and help him find a good lawyer, Chaney immediately became furious and came up to strangle Mattie.
Compared to Chaney, Moon, who was stabbed in the heart by a knife and died in the cabin, apparently didn't know what fate would be brought about by his choice of joining the gang, and even dreamed of being buried before his death. But whether you know it or don’t understand the fate, Moon, an unreliable gangster, has the same fate as other gangsters. Uncle Rooster Cogburn ridiculed that he was exposed to the wilderness. If he wants to be buried in a decent way, he’d better choose to be killed in the summer. .
LaBoeuf, the Texas Mounted Police, chose to be a bounty hunter. He did not hesitate to track it down from Texas. LaBoeuf didn't want justice, but money. LaBoeuf thinks that his marksmanship is good, the money is easy to make, not to mention the help of Rooster who is familiar with the local terrain. It's a pity that LaBoeuf didn't expect that his words and deeds of pretending to be a master of the West not only annoyed Rooster, but also almost lost his life, and finally paid the price of three teeth and shoulder blade penetration injuries. In the end, LaBoeuf probably didn't make the easy money he wanted, but his marksmanship has withstood the test. This can be regarded as balancing his fragile determination to shout goodbye at every turn.
Uncle Rooster Cogbur also has a career as a bounty hunter. He is known for being difficult in the hands of bounty hunters in the small town. The town sheriff almost didn't have a good word when he introduced him. His main venues in the town are pubs and toilets, as well as Chinese food warehouses full of sausages and dried ducks. His performance in court is really beyond description. He was asked by the other party’s lawyer to overturn his previous testimony. It should be a taboo for witnesses.
All this shows that Uncle Rooster does not belong here. Rooster's world is a barren land that crosses the river. Seven gangsters were killed in the two wars. They were strategic, courageous and patient. At the same time, there was free whiskey, which could bring him. Infinite energy, here he is the king of the west.
Uncle Rooster chose to live in the west, but unfortunately, the western era went faster than his pace. Rooster is not completely old yet, but the life of the Western era can only be seen in the touring troupe. This choice is left to Uncle Rooster, and only the depressed and sick limbs of long-term wild life are left.
As for Mattie, when she was 14 years old, she accomplished a feat that others might not be able to accomplish in her life-to kill her father and enemy with her own hands. However, Mattie might not expect to pay such a price when she made this choice: one of her own arms, one of her beloved Little Pony, and later married life.
So when Mattie recalled this past in his middle age, he said at the beginning that there is no cost, everything is the same, except for the gift of God. This is a huge change made by the Coen brothers from the John Wayne version of "Thunder in the Ground". This change makes the story more westernized, instead of the original western fairy tale where the police chief wisely captured the four gangsters.
Many people think that the Coen brothers' film is not Coen-like after watching "Thunder in the Earth". I guess the implication is that the film is too obvious because of the relationship and does not show enough absurdity in life. In fact, the two idle pens in the film are quite cohen-like, especially the little girl mattie climbing up a tree to put down a corpse hanging on a high place.
When you try your best to climb up to the tree, cut the rope and lay down the corpse, of course you hope that your efforts will help you what you want to do. Maybe it is the murderer Chaney, but unfortunately not, maybe it is Uncle Rooster. People you know can bring some news, but unfortunately, you don’t know them. This is a pure stranger. You took the risk to do labor that is completely ineffective to your goal. It only facilitated a deal of corpses by the Indians. And provided a pair of teeth to the dentist.
This kind of helpless encounter with the bear man in the back shows again. You thought you were going to meet the stalker face to face, but it turned out that an irrelevant dentist came. In fact, these two newly added scenes, on the one hand, show the brand-style humor of the Coen brothers, making the causal effect of this film less obvious, and on the other hand, it also makes this western scene more in line with our cognitive laws. The passers-by make the western world wider and more authentic and credible, instead of just a small drama world with three trackers and eight bandits.
In fact, watching a movie also has a price. I bet on the two hours of my life in exchange for a different encounter story. Fortunately, the Coen Brothers version of "Thunder in the Ground" not only performed brilliantly, but the photography and lighting were also very exquisite. This price The value of the flower.
