A crappy but clever story

The big-production retro western cowboy movie is not only escorted by Captain Depp of Pirates of the Caribbean, but also blessed by the new handsome youngster Armie Hammer. Why did it fail at the box office?
The beginning of the movie is a grand preparation for the following plot. The Indians who suddenly moved in the playground began to tell a thrilling story about justice to curious children.
Then there are the old-fashioned western cowboy movies, dilapidated villages and towns, cowboys riding horses in the desert, dirty pictures matched with retro cowboy music, even flipping a pocket watch is so handsome, not to mention holding a pistol The kind of free and easy energy that is neat and tidy.
But if you just look at this movie with the eyes of a cowboy movie, I am afraid that it will be too underestimated. Next, the appearance of the male protagonist's brother, the sadomasochistic relationship between the sister-in-law and the male protagonist, the appearance of Tang Tuo and the hunt of the ogre , a large section of suspenseful plot hits the face.
Well, okay, at least here I still think this movie is expected to be a good 4-5 star movie, it turns out that I was wrong.
Maybe it's because I don't understand American humor, and there are a lot of humorous bridges that are interspersed with no soundtrack and only dialogue. I can't understand what is being said, or I should say that I feel cold, most of the humorous bridges that make me laugh out loud Duan is that quirky white horse.
Tang Tuo has always shown a very mysterious and magical color since he was caught by the male protagonist. When he was caught at the police station, in front of Danny (sister-in-law's son), he seemed to be displaying a kind of mystery. Unpredictable magic, the gradual rise of the sun as he waved his hands, the ability to talk to animals, forge bullets from self-melting silver products, and predict all kinds of things, always seemed to have black magic.
However, in the mid-term movie, he and the male protagonist were both abused badly. They fled in all kinds of embarrassment. They were able to win or escape only by luck and white horses. The fight was not good enough. What about the Indians who led to the annihilation of the race and then buried him and the male protagonist alive? The patriarch pretended to say that his heart was broken. It meant that Tang Tuo could no longer return to the race. Not only did he choose not to save them, but afterward, he inexplicably rushed to become cannon fodder and was destroyed by the group. There were various loopholes in the plot, and the scenes that were said to be big productions were almost all Concentrated on the train section and generally a bit fake. . . .
It is said that the male protagonist is a parade and will not die, but from the beginning to the end, I feel that this is just a gimmick to talk about, it has no real meaning, and there is no room for it to be displayed. The later conspiracy is still a small highlight, the fighting part. There is no bright spot, it can almost be said to be a little bit of water, most of the martial arts are children fighting, with a sense of humor, although it is full of bullets and guns, the male protagonist and Tang Tuo are almost useless, almost all pick up , and then don't shoot, or you won't be able to shoot, the only two times of shit luck, one is when the shot bounces back, knocking down the hanging stake to kill the enemy, and the second time is another shit luck for the male protagonist in the finale, In the early stage, I also learned to pose various big moves like anime characters. I thought that the male protagonist finally made up his mind to shoot the bad guy, but he still missed the shot. Most of the previous scenes were about Tang Tuo's revenge, the male protagonist's The sense of justice, the male protagonist's paranoid but righteous heart is still quite cute, but he has no choice but to reveal a stupid atmosphere all the time, which makes the audience gnashing their teeth, can kill the bad guys but not kill them, but wants to send the enemy back to the nest, of course, This conspiracy cannot be exposed without sending it.
The crappy narration technique and the brilliant plot also lost to the inexplicable plot arrangement. Some people say that Depp is following the captain's old way. I can only say that Tang Tuo does not have the optimism and cheerfulness of the captain. Some are just neurotic and empty. Eyes, the story adds a lot of fantasy plots, and some inexplicable settings, why does Cavendish eat human flesh? Just a personal preference? Tang Tuo put on him the name of ogre, but this name was refuted by the actor later on. It was just a natural name that Tang Tuo put on for his revenge. It seemed that everything was a puzzle, and there were too many It's better to make this movie a Western from the beginning, and the lame handling is not as good as setting it into a mysterious fantasy style from the beginning.
The final outcome is a matter of course that the hero defeated the bad guy, and everything returned to normal. It is also correct for the male protagonist to choose to give up the beauty. After all, he is his nominal sister-in-law. The little boy once doubted the truth of the story, and at first the little boy asked Tang Tuo how he escaped from the police station. As a result, Tang Tuo only took it for a while. Although he explained a few doubts later, it was a little strange.
Other Douyou film critics said that this play is actually imitating the fantasy drifting of teenage pie to a certain extent, and the ending actually makes sense. Are you willing to believe in the fantasy adventure of such a well-masked person? Or listen to a circus entertainer who betrayed the secrets of his clan and caused him to be displaced?
SO However, there is still a fantasy at the end. Tang Tuo turned into a crow and flew away and handed the silver bullet to the child. So, what does this mean? You want to prove the cruelty of this world, but at the same time you want to show that the world is actually still beautiful? Don't you feel lame and smart?
If you just tell the story honestly, don't make a fool of yourself, increase the area of ​​the action scenes, make the soundtrack better, and have no memory of the entire soundtrack, except for the final horse racing soundtrack, please? That's the horse racing soundtrack. = The whole big breakout.
In fact, this film can copy the style of Raiders of the Lost Ark, add a little adventure style, and increase the fantasy style. Don't be so weak, don't make the male protagonist's victory seem to depend on luck, and the male protagonist in the early stage is weak. , All kinds of fast opening and hanging in the later period, is it really no problem?
In fact, delete the crappy ending at the end, the box office sells well, and a sequel can still be started, just tell the adventure stories of the past with Indians and children, anyway, there can be many stories, why tell a story, and use cruel colors To dismantle it?
