However, when the old man entered the seventh decade of his life, the 62-year-old finally won the favor of the American Film Academy with this film, and became a big winner at the 65th Oscars in 1992. Won: four awards for best film, best director, best editor, and best supporting actor. The sixty-year-old man has worked hard for many years and has finally come to fruition.
This film is also the subject of Western films that Clint Eastwood is good at. The three old dramas of Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, and Morgan Freeman collide fiercely in the film. , Became the biggest attraction in the film, and the sheriff played by Gene Hackman won the Best Supporting Actor Award and added a little golden figure in his display cabinet.
Different from previous westerns, this movie can be said to completely subvert the heroic image in traditional westerns. The film is full of repentance and sadness. Several characters are also tragic characters, each burdened with inescapable sins. And doom. The black-and-white opposition in Western films is always the victory of justice over evil. However, in this film, the boundaries between right and wrong, good and evil have become blurred, and the only way to solve the problem is the eternal violence. The director presents the American West as a dark world where the weak and the strong eat in front of the audience, and the darkness of human nature is also fully exposed here. This insinuating effect caused the audience to reflect on a deeper level while watching the film.
Although the film does not take the usual path in the western film routine, it is still full of indispensable elements of the western film: gunfights and murders, violence and prostitutes. But it also complements the storyline, and the integration is very successful.
Very successful movie!
