Knowledge changes fate, and the key is to favor the goddess

Just listening to the name, I thought it was a horror movie similar to "Death is Coming", which tells about various bizarre death events, but I did not expect it to be a typical black humor. After Baidu searched the relevant information of the film, I realized that the director was the Seth MacFarlane who made "Teddy Bear" and subverted the cute image of plush toys.
The film also deduces several inevitable and visually striking ways of dying. For example, when taking pictures, the camera exploded and was killed by the camera (the camera is very primitive, the kind commonly used by Huang Feihong's thirteenth aunt); when carrying ice cubes, the ice cube fell and was killed by the ice cube, etc. There are also some ways of death that are dictated by the male protagonist, such as pooping may be poisoned by rattlesnakes, etc., but far less than 1 million. But it doesn't matter, because these are not the main lines of the movie. The main content of the movie can be regarded as an atypical western "inspirational" film about a diaosi counterattack, defeating the rich and handsome, and pushing to the goddess (the exact point should be pushed by the goddess). . The reason why the director chose such a name may be to indicate that in the West in the context of that era, people may die at any time.
The male protagonist is a 24k pure diaosi, short, mean and poor. Just when I was angry and nervous because of being dumped by my girlfriend, the omnipotent goddess (the heroine) appeared, and I must insert a sentence here, the heroine Charlize Theron is really beautiful, with a face, a groove, and an S, And both civil and military. However, the director must have done it deliberately, and did not want to create a too "perfect" image, so the identity of the heroine when she appeared was the wife of the most ruthless gunslinger in the west. Worried about being a leftover daughter, she married at the age of nine. But this young and beautiful wife was obviously tired of her husband's domineering, so she fell in love with the cowardly and incompetent but kind-hearted male protagonist later. (Personally, the kindness of the male protagonist is purely because of his cowardice) So no matter what, the female protagonist betrayed her husband first. However, this does not affect the goddess image of the heroine in my heart.
Of course, the fierce male hotshot could not tolerate someone hooking up with his wife, so he began to hunt down the male protagonist. In the days when the male protagonist got along with the female protagonist before, although he learned the marksmanship with the female protagonist for a period of time, the male protagonist's skills are still terrible. In the process of escaping, the male protagonist was even burned to death by the Western Indians at one point. Fortunately, the male protagonist can speak the language of the indigenous peoples, which not only won the trust of the indigenous peoples, but also obtained their help. In the end, the male protagonist defeated the gangster, earned a large bounty, and brought the beauty back. But that's still not the main line of the movie. A drama without a main storyline is also the success of this film.
The movie finally made us have to express such emotion: Knowledge changes destiny, and the key is to have the favor of the Almighty Goddess!
