The film describes the social outlook of the barren countryside in Kansas and Texas in the United States at the end of the nineteenth century. The prostitutes living at the lowest level of society are oppressed and bullied, but they are justified; the cowboy ruffians bully others and run rampant lawlessness; the sheriff, as the representative of the ruler, stalks his life and bullies the world, killing the cowboy who did not participate in the killing of two prostitutes. The blacks were tortured to death, and the corpses were displayed in public. William Monney had killed people in his youth, but he had been resting for eleven years. After the death of his respected wife, he raised a pair of children alone. Life was difficult and difficult. Only the bounty collected by the prostitutes took up the gun again. Finally, filled with righteous indignation, he shot and killed the brothel boss and sheriff, and went to a gunfight with the police and the ruffian. He said, "Buy (the black man) well, and don't bully the prostitute." He took a pair of children and went away. After watching the movie, I always feel a little dull. More than a hundred years ago, the Midwest region of the United States was still such a society, and it seemed that there was no way out and no future. The wheels of history are rolling forward, and this social aspect is gone forever. This kind of movie is very good to watch occasionally.
