very good film

I was more impetuous. I only watched half of it the first time and then fast-forwarded, and the next day I watched it completely. The first is that the western scene at the beginning has a desolate beauty, like a strong wine, impressive. The west is so vast that it seems as if you can do whatever you want. But the western environment is very bad. The whole film highlights a cold word. The male protagonist keeps saying that he is afraid of the cold. The female protagonist is almost desperate when alone. The goods can be possessed as soon as they are picked up. Everyone is very snobbish. Even if it is cold outside, they are unwilling to give any alms. The protagonist also said that these few people are only 300 yuan. After the heroine died, the hero immediately gave up his oath and tried to abandon the three mad women, and the three mad women's child-like innocence finally made the protagonist decide to fulfill his promise.
When the male protagonist finally wanted to fall, he encountered bank bankruptcy and 300 yuan was worthless. In the dark, God seemed to be saving him. However, he handed the shoes to the waitress, hoping to settle down (and only his own delusions), and eventually had to drift again, frivolous and unwilling to stay in his youth, and now destined to be lonely and embarrassing.
In the end, the male protagonist can only recover his prodigal nature, continue to sing unbridled songs, and restore the dissolute nature of a western cowboy who shoots at passersby without hesitation. The boatman kicked the heroine's tombstone into the water secretly, which also shows the actor will eventually forced to restore the environment of the cold selfish human nature
actually makes a formal western harsh environments selfish human nature can not hide

    In the Great West of Despair, even if human nature has to be gradually lost, it can still lead the dance of demons. Chasing horse Indians, dueling with headshot men, erecting graveyards hitting walls, burning capitalists on fire... Too realistic, too brutal. The mad and rational female vision came to an abrupt end, and the tombstone floated away. The narrative angle is strange, the picture is very beautiful

    A very special western story. The shifting focus of content and characters is interesting.
