To end with mediocrity is a deeper sadness--it is better to forget each other in the world

According to the usual practice, the heroine has been avenged and saved, and the hero has become famous. This should be a bright end. Unexpectedly, at the end, the female actor would have to grow up into a mean and vigilant face, without the little cute face of her childhood, dragging her stumped arm and playing again. In the monologue, he talked about how he hadn't seen the savior for decades. This kind of babbled monologue itself does not conform to the character of a female actor, it is more like an excuse that never really wants to see the male lead again. And I heard that the male protagonist is also fat and old, relying on peddling past experiences to survive his dying years. In fact, if the male protagonist hadn't realized that he was dying, he would not have contact with the female protagonist again. Even though they contacted, the heroine dragged on, and the two missed the last chance to meet.
Why is the partner who used to live and die not want to meet again? The interpretation of this question may reflect the deeper characterization of human nature by the Coen brothers. If we experience the most ugly and beautiful extremes of human nature together, partners will indeed be unable to face each other.

    Disappointed, completely copied. The advantage is Jeff. Bridges' intentional interpretation of "Madman Coburn" completely surpassed John. Wayne's true performance, including imitation of accent. The new version reinforces the shortcomings of the old Texas cowboy character, but the overall rhythm is not as smooth as the old version. Cohen has given more dark colors. This new ending is much more than that, completely obliterating the year-end friendship of the old version.

    In the three important "snow dramas", three cosmic worlds are densely layered: the mythical world, the western world, and the civilized world. Apple to pistol, revenge to fatherhood. This appearance is the mythical story of Alice in Wonderland, and it has become a fable due to the superimposed elegy western farewell. The last shot establishes that the protagonist is a character walking on the edge of civilization. The background is the graves of the western world, and the road ahead is the emptiness of the civilized world.
