"Blood Feud" is based on real historical events and recreates the infamous bloody battle between the Hatfields and McCoys families after the American Civil War. Their confrontation and killing each other almost sparked the conflict between their respective states of West Virginia and Kentucky. of civil war. This is a story that the Chinese often say, "When will the grievances be repaid", but we can't see the division of justice and injustice here. There are only two pathetic souls swallowed by the flames of revenge, and gangsters driven by ugly humanity The thrill of killing. Although this story has a time span and the pattern is not large, it is just a turn-based mutual vendetta and violence, but it has the temperament of an evil epic, because it is undisguised and unbeautified, even if it is similar to "Romeo and Juliet" "The plot setting of the love of a child in a troubled world, and there is no idealized treatment of love.
"Blood Feud" is directed by Kevin Reynolds. His most famous work is actually a disgrace, the sci-fi blockbuster "Future Water World" that cost $200 million and eventually nearly bankrupted the investor Universal Pictures. He was silent forever. Along with him, the star of the film, Kevin Costner, who was in his prime at the time, never returned. Interestingly, this time Kevin Costner served as the producer and star of "Blood Vengeance" again, playing the role of Anse Hatfield, known as "The Devil" in the film. Kevin Costner's "Dances With Wolves" is one of the greatest western epics in film history, winning seven Oscars in 1990, including best picture and best director, while "Blood Feud" is also a Western in terms of genre, which is more like a shameful creation, and they did it, especially when Kevin Costner returned to the subject matter he was familiar with and good at. The obvious state of recovery made me, a loyal fan of the year, very happy.
Americans' enthusiasm for "Blood Vengeance" may not be just because they are moved by its plot. The practical significance of this story is that it is related to the Americans who have been in danger since 9/11 in the anti-terrorism environment. Deep anxiety resonates, and under the tangle of hatred in an infinite loop mode, no one can get away with it, and what is more sad is that the price is often borne by the innocent. In this sense, "Blood Feud" is more like a sympathetic and helpless political fable. 【Southern Metropolis Daily】
