"Red Dead Redemption" may be the most famous classic created by "plagiarism" in film and television. Although this film is a masterpiece of spaghetti westerns and the pioneering work of the "Red Dead Redemption Trilogy", it has extraordinary significance. Compared with There is still a big gap between Kurosawa Akira's original work. On the one hand, it is manifested in the depiction of the weaker evil forces in the town. In "The Stick of Heart", the Qingbingwei group are villains in the absolute sense, and the depiction of Mrs. Qingbingwei is mostly smooth and treacherous; In "Red Dead Redemption", Leone did not directly express the evildoing of the group (except at the beginning), and the family's focus was much less than the original, and even added a lot of plots showing his wife's perseverance and calmness. Therefore, when they are killed, it is difficult for the audience to be as indifferent as the original, but more saddened, which is a major problem with the plot setting. On the other hand, Leone's logic flaw caused by moving the original Japanese work that took place in the 16th century to the American border in the 19th century. Although Akira Kurosawa's original work has little ink on the background of the times, making the adaptation of the film's plot is not difficult, but the change from "knife" to "gun" has brought a lot of fragmentation in the plot, the most important of which is " The force value of "Bad Man" has been reduced, and the original "Bart Man" can break the balance between the two by himself (of course, there are some problems in Kurosawa Akira's original work to easily destroy the Qingbei forces in the end), so he has also become both sides. a fierce point of contention. But when the "gun" is used, this dramatic tension is largely reduced, and Leone obviously sees this, so this movie is no longer a sweet pastry, but a shit stick. The difference in the dramatic tension caused by the change of "knife" to "gun" is directly manifested in the opposition between "knife and gun" in the original work to "gun and rifle" in this work. The difference is self-evident.
In addition, Leone's portrayal of secondary characters is even worse than Kurosawa Akira, which is concentrated in the bell ringer, the corpse collector, and the woman's husband. In Kurosawa Akira's desperate town, except for the hotel owner, everyone else was alienated under the high pressure of the town, and while the escort defeated the evil forces on their own, it also awakened their inner blood and conscience, but Lai The western town of Angne is far more benign by comparison.
Morricone's soundtrack is one of the highlights of the film. The wild and raw West under Leone's lens complements Eastwood's tall shape and deep eyes. I have to say that the texture of the film is really great. .
