God-level performance

To be honest, I am not a fan of Westerns, I have seen very few Westerns, so I definitely can't judge anything from the "professional" perspective of Westerns. The film is Quentin's tribute to the classic Italian Western film directed by Sergio Corbusi in 1966. How much did it pay tribute? What a tribute? Because I've seen the old film, I can't talk about it. I heard that when Jiang Ge said, "My name is Jiang Ge, and that D is silent", the old black who spoke next to him was the original Jiang. The first half is full of western flavor, it is to rescue black slaves, refined marksmanship, and bounty to kill people. The second half becomes Wu Yusen's single-handed fairy tale of Heiwa saving his wife. Black slaves are usually not the protagonists of Western movies. Uncle Kun actually wanted to talk about something related to the history of black slaves. The coat of the western film will naturally hit it off. In recent years, the retro wave of western films has improved. There were "Stories of the West", "Decisive Battle at Yuma Town", and "Thunder in the Earth", but most of them still go in a serious way. If Quentin also plays the card according to common sense, it will not be him. Duan's nonsense, scattered humor, splashing tomato juice... these are his ways. Choosing to use the story of a black slave to crush the white slave owner as the main line has to be said to be a different way, about freedom and slavery, The grievances between blacks and whites and the brutal and bloody history could have been discussed in depth, but Uncle Kun just clicked it to the end, and he didn't intend to do so. He liked to play with history and treat himself like Hitler and Nazis before. You can see all kinds of cult elements, you like to make your movies cooler and more exciting. You can see things like depth. It’s good if you don’t see it. The most important thing is that you have to watch it!
