The first half is fairly fascinating, with ups and downs and tension. Dr. Schultz is the guide, step by step to make Jiang Ge independent, teach him the technique of shooting, the method of making money for bounty hunters, and the coldness in the process of achieving his goal. Also helping him act to save his wife, it can be described as benevolent and righteous. But since Dr. Schultz suddenly killed Calvin, everything became unacceptable.
I cannot accept the use of violence to shape a black hero. Can violence and lies solve the problem? Although the development after this has allowed Jiang Ge to completely surpass the thinking and system of white people, the death of white people includes Dr. Schultz and other people in the manor, making Jiang Ge the leader of the final plot development However, this is truly independent. Regardless of his identity or his psychology, Jiang Ge seems to have become a hero who resists slavery. But in fact I think that Schultz and Jiang Ge’s behavior has exceeded the limit, because although they paid $12,000, their goal of saving people has actually been achieved. In addition to saving people, they slaughtered a manor. The white people who don’t really see it want to save more people. Besides self-preservation, they are more for heroism and revenge. It is also injustice. This makes me think that the theme of liberating black people and opposing slavery in the back of the film is like It is preaching racial violence. If you put aside the spectacles of race to see when the $12,000 transaction is completed, even if it is forced, after all, deception is first, the other party’s anger is justified, and you can also try to get the money back. In other words However, in this matter alone, the manor owner is not guilty of death. Opposing slavery and killing a certain slave owner cannot be simply equated. Moreover, in the second half of this, the black people are portrayed as superheroes. The reverse extreme way of violent massacre. It should be said that the director did not have a good grasp on this scale of expressing black independence. I think it is too much. The director wants to use Jiang Ge's positive image to express his opposition to slavery, but opposing slavery cannot be the same as encouraging race. Oppose each other and slaughter each other violently! Every life is precious, including blacks and whites. Of course, the film shows many ways of torturing black people, and even the enslavement and discrimination of black humanity, which makes me very disgusted and opposed.
The plot in the second half of the film is very old-fashioned. After Dr. Schultz shot and killed the owner of the manor, almost everything has become unsustainable. Jiang Ge naturally has to resist and shoots out of the siege, otherwise the upper half is The preparation was wasted. As for Hildi as a hostage, it is no surprise that hero movies are like this. Otherwise, how could the hero be in trouble? Sentiment and righteousness are heroes, otherwise they are killing machines. Jiang Ge cheated the trust of the guards on the way to the mine and then killed them. It reminded me that soldiers are not tired of fraud. There are many stories like Three Kingdoms or Water Margin in my impression, but Cao Cao seems to have a low appraisal for doing so and he can get out of prison. It’s your skill, which shows your wit, but it seems that you are always a little bit morally inadequate in your behavior with deception. It’s not too much to describe it as cruel and scheming. There is no difference in general gunfighting Hong Kong movies. It is nothing more than the return of the hero and the final establishment of the image, which is really boring to watch. Even under the guise of saving a beloved wife, it has long gone beyond the scope of saving people. Heroes saving people do not mean slaughter, and slaughter does not mean resisting slavery.
In short, I was very uncomfortable watching the last part of the film. I think the director used too much force in the second half of the film. As for the performance of the actors, it is interesting for Dr. Schultz to act like a circus. Leonardo’s manor is very flexible and explosive.
