There is no choice in audio-visual, close-up, silence, simplicity, unexpected information brought by the camera movement, and the beauty of Leone's personal characteristics, I like it very much. But looking at it as a genre film, it's hard to lift the spirits. For genre films, it is still necessary to guide the audience's attention, and conflicts and expectations are really necessary to attract attention and interest. There are various reasons in the wilderness that lead to the weakening of conflicts and expectations. I think the key point is that under the condition that most of the viewpoints are provided by the protagonist, the protagonist is set as an almost inhuman character, with no background, no needs and no weaknesses. No emotional ups and downs, like a lonely ghost, a tough guy than Guanshan Feidu's brother Lin, too tough... There is no sense of crisis at all, my God, the mood watching the movie is calmer than Brother Dongmu's expression, and it's the middle of the night Look, I'm falling asleep. It is very understandable why the later Hollywood movies formulate a big crisis at the beginning, and a small crisis in the middle, but everyone can go through the process, and the audience can still successfully hang it on the condition that the routine is familiar. The sense of crisis is the problem... Genre films are really always a game of wits and bravery with the audience. In fact, I have never been particularly fond of Hitchcock, but I have to admit that I have never been sleepy watching Xifa.
