The film almost runs through old Clint’s reflections and regrets from beginning to end, conversations with Ned on the road, to abstinence from alcohol, hallucinations after a high fever, and talking to himself, to the refusal of Free One, to the middle-aged. The contrast between rationality and young arrogant sensibility is also a contest between a person's inner human nature and animal nature. Humans are animals and higher than animals.
I agree with the No. 1 film review. Real violence is unreasonable to you. There is no reason, no reason, no "should or not", it's just animal killing. The film compares all the real violence on the surface with the decline of Clint Eastwood one by one. From Ned to Little Young to Little Billy, their violence is principled and reasonable. I will kill you and me. I will tell you why this end happened. This is a common phenomenon in dramatic hero movies, but the old man Clint has come the other way, so he is closer to reality. Little Billy is a reasonable and conscientious sheriff who maintains the peace of the town in principle. Although he is violent, he always stays a line. This line is the bottom line of human nature. On the contrary, the seemingly weak appearance of old man Clint, director A specially created murderous demon who was thrown off by a horse three times, and was almost killed in a tavern. They were all showing the decay of Clint, who had turned his evil back to the right. The final outbreak did not have any excessive, directly pushed to the climax, and watched the movie. The feeling is still very enjoyable.
At the end of the film, the smile of the scared girl is the finishing touch.
