From the perspective of the whole movie, that 2 million dollars, or money, is the origin of everything, and it is also the focus of the three protagonists, the sheriff, the killer and the hunter. However, whether it is a sheriff who represents traditional justice, a killer who represents modern crime, or a hunter who represents ordinary people, money is not their ultimate goal, but only a tool for their pursuit and value-this may also be American. Where the concept of money lies, it is certain that money is not the root cause of disorder in this world. There are also two scenes about money transactions in the film. One is that a bloody hunter in ragged clothes meets three young men drinking beer at night. The hunter spends $500 on one of them and asks for it. The beer was also given to him. One asked him how much he wanted to make another fortune, while the other couldn’t stand it and told him to give him the beer to the hunter; the other was that the two children came forward to care after the killer had a car accident, and the killer asked how much the shirt was. , The child kindly gifted him and helped him bandage the wound, the killer insisted on giving him money, and the other child thought that the seer had a share and wanted to get a part. Although these two money transactions are not big, they have caused disagreements and disputes among people in the same industry, and perhaps caused a lot of changes in their outlook on money.

The film is constructed from the triangle of sheriff, killer and hunter. They all have their own set of codes of conduct. They want to control the development of the whole situation by relying on their own codes and abilities. But in the end, none of them succeeded, and the Justice Sergeant had no choice but to retire. The criminal killer ran away in a car accident, and the ordinary hunter died unexpectedly. None of them achieved their goals and fulfilled their pursuits. Because whether it is good, evil or neutral, this world is not controllable by one of them, and any so-called rules in this world are unreliable. Uncontrollable brings nothing to depend on. Whether it is life or death, they all fall into a situation of no dependability in the end. This film tells the story of the 1980s. It was filmed nearly ten years ago. This is an era of chaos and confusion among people in the modern society represented by the United States. The reason why the film can be The Oscar Award shows that its reflection on the society in which we live has gained attention and recognition. Today, in the face of this more diverse world, faced with a situation where justice has nothing to rely on and evil is uncontrollable, what should we do? This is the problem that needs to be solved urgently. Unfortunately, we have no solution. In the video and find the answer.
