Every character in it is so tragic but so indescribable, and most of the tears in it stem from our sympathy for them. The helplessness that comes from true love but are all next to each other, the anger and injustice that spanned wars, families, and eras are gradually smoothed out, leaving only the traces of time, the pain of a character succumbing to fate. In fact, these, the film is also intended to pave the way, so that the audience can see their changes, and then accompanied by the tragic and beautiful bgm, it is almost in tears.
For the love of the three brothers and the heroine Suzanne, there are many details in the front. I will give the example of the farewell scene when they leave to join the army.
When the third brother Shan Moyi reluctantly said goodbye to his fiancée Susannah, Suzanne looked at Tristin. After seeing it, Tristin knew that Susannah was interested in him, but the misalignment of her identity made him unacceptable, so she lowered her head.
At this time, Avery also looked at Susannah, his eyes were full of miscellaneous love, showing his admiration for her
Maybe these clips are very short, but in fact, it is easy to see the slight emotional changes from them, and it also lays the emotional foreshadowing for the later farewell.
Likewise, where Shan Mo died on the battlefield is an important tear in the whole film. Even though Avery and Tristin have been protecting him, Shan Mo's innate bravery and determination to have some aspirations allows him to take his place on the battlefield on his own. But Tristin saw Shan Mo's death with his own eyes and had no way to save him, which planted the seeds of self-pity in his heart, although he couldn't blame him.
Later, while saving the sheep, the sheep was also caught in the iron wire, which reminded him that Shan Mo was finally shot and killed by the enemy on the iron fence, and he was helpless, which also caused Tristin to collapse again.
The three brothers of the film and Susannah have their own distinct characteristics.
Shan Mo:
As the youngest younger brother, he naturally received special care from his older brothers. He was also suave, which made Susannah fall in love with him in the first place.
But he still has a passion in his heart to go to the battlefield to win glory for his country, just like his father. He cared about the front lines of the civil war, and was angry at the collapse of the front lines, and he went to the battlefield at the cost of saying goodbye to Susannah.
Later, he went to the battlefield privately on behalf of his eldest brother. Because of the protection of his brothers before, Shan Mo had no place to use it. But I didn't expect that I would never be able to come back.
In the end, he called Tristin's name before he died. He was also afraid of death, but he also knew that Tristin would try his best to save him, but this time death really came. "Little brother.
Avery:
As the eldest brother, Avery is actually the most stable and capable of the three.
He also joined the army with his second and third brothers, but became a commander instead of a soldier. Similarly, he went out to work hard and grew all the way, and finally became a member of Congress, which shows that he is the most talented and thoughtful one.
He also loved Suzanne, even though Suzanne failed to give him. But he could stay by his side for Susannah being abandoned by Tristin, and he dared to argue with his father just for Susannah.
Looking at the back, we seem to feel that Avery has no longer returned to his home. But in the end, he saved his father's life at a critical moment. He's not like his father said that he only cares about his own interests, he has his own judgment, and he always cares about Tristin, Sammo, and Susannah. It's just that his father doesn't understand him, Suzanne doesn't love him, and Tristin has been with him for a while. He loves Susannah with all his heart, but in the end Tristin wins. From this point of view, Avery is actually a very pitiful person, who is not accepted by everyone, but returns the sincerity to everyone.
Susannah:
He was gentle, moving, and beautiful enough to fascinate Avery, Tristin and Shan Mo. But what she was really attracted to was the bohemian Tristin.
When she thought Tristin would not come back, when she saw that Alfred still loved her so sincerely, she still stayed by his side. And when Tristin appeared later, she was so shocked and didn't dare to accompany him.
She also sighed: "Forever is still too long"
Seeing that Tristin has a wife and children, love and happiness, she sincerely wishes them in her heart. When Tristin went to jail following the unexpected death of his wife, she blamed herself for it. Avery and Tristin are separated because of themselves. And Shan Mo really loves himself but he falls in love with Tristin. If I could wait longer for Tristin, it might not turn out like this. Knowing that he is not really in love with Ai Fu Rui, although he has lived a life of love for money, he still yearns for the life of freedom and ambition. After Tristin's happiness was disintegrated, he couldn't accompany him, couldn't comfort him, but stayed in a place he didn't want, which made him unable to bear the pressure and shame, and finally took himself away with a gun.
Her arrival may be a mistake, but her fate is like this, she is not wrong, what is wrong is the changes of the times and the unpredictable fate.
Tristin:
He was that bohemian, wild at heart but not unfeeling. Susannah fell in love with him like a fan, but he left him for his brother and brother. He went to kill the enemy alone for his brother, and he was the pride that fought when others looked down on the Indians. He is brave and unwilling to accept injustice, personally avenging his wife, and someone who can save bullets for his father at the last moment.
"I would dream that his inner grizzly voice was muted"
He lost his younger brother, and he endured love to leave Susannah, wandering outside, but he was born like this, he was a real "beast", and God arranged his unfair fate to keep him away from the world, because he should belong there.
Although he blamed himself for failing to save his brother and for failing to give Susanna the love she deserved, he was always the wild person. Maybe it's just his inner bear asleep
The first thing he killed was a bear, and he was killed by a bear at the end. Maybe this was his real destination.
Every character in it seems to be right, but in this turbulent era, the people who love love the wrong people, the people who are sincere leave one by one, the wildness of the west calls, and the vast prairie is them. symbols of. The changes of the times have made them unable to return to the past, and the era of true happiness and kindness in the past has gradually disappeared.
Although the story behind the film is a bit cliché, and the death of Elizabeth is handled too hastily, the film is still a classic. It allows you to empathize with the characters inside and sing that wild, wild love song together
