Not enough short reviews

In the early 20th century, a rough and cruel epic film set against the backdrop of the American West, depicting relationships between characters in grand scenes. The scheduling of the oil well was awesome. Epic films are really difficult to shoot. I often don’t experience the sense of time and reality (even the four-hour American past), and the film’s narrative is cold enough (like Kubrick) to present one thing without showing the consequences. For example, when a child burns his home, it stops abruptly as soon as he catches his son, and it flashes back to a new segment rather than what has already been shown; the depiction of death and blood is also indifferent, and the characters are also indifferent. There is basically no role arc; primitive capital accumulation, primitive nature, hypocrisy is the most powerful weapon to plunder and the biggest lie among peers, and capitalists and missionaries also have conflicts of interest. In that environment, of course, capital has the most strength. PTA was only 37 when this film was made, so old-fashioned, really genius.
