Western "Martial Arts"

In Chinese literature, there is a world of martial arts in which flying and escaping, happy and revengeful. Holding a three-foot green front, he will cut off the injustice in the world, and everyone will say "hero".
Americans also have their own vision. Limited by cultural and historical reasons, the United States has not derived fantasy literature like European knight novels and Chinese martial arts novels. It is based on the wild, wild west development period, and the cowboy story is derived. This in turn produced the most influential westerns in the movie. There is a saying in China "Wuxia is a fairy tale for adults". American Westerns are also made for adults.
The first half of the heroic seven dragons is almost like the routine of Chinese martial arts novels. , I couldn’t catch it, so I searched for friends and knights, and went there together to punish the traitors and eradicate the evil. So handsome, it's a pity that I got a bento).
The second half is very thoughtful. First, mobilize the power of the people, and then use tactics, interspersed with the inner activities of the characters. The last battle, I thought it was going to be a victory. Who knew that the big villain did not follow the conventions at all, and took out the Gatling killer. Fortunately, the little angel of Star Lord died heroically and destroyed Gatlin (it seemed to be yellow gunpowder at the time, how powerful is gunpowder? ).
Everyone's acting skills are quite good, from Denzel Washington, Star-Lord, Ethan Hawke, or Lee Byung-hun and other actors who can support the sky.
The theme is very clear, the way of heaven is reincarnation, who will the heaven forgive.
Among them, "Good night, Robiso" said a sentence: I am a Confederate, Chisholm a Union Army, an Irish alcoholic, Billy is a mysterious Oriental, and a Texan. Then there was another bounty hunter who lived by hunting Indians, a deported Indian. This lineup is gone.
Maybe even people of different races, beliefs, and interests have the same kindness in their hearts!
Ps: It seems that the surviving people did not take gold, what kind of spirit is this. . . .

    A very successful remake, adding a big villain, using a Gatling gun to open up the firepower gap between the two sides in the age of firearms, the photography and music are great, and in the end it doesn't entangle the heavy theme of the original, it's all smart. The dissatisfaction is that everyone's motives are not clearly stated, and it is too low to be attributed to personal hatred. The second is that the characters of Lee Byung-hun and the Indians have images but no personalities. All in all, it was great, and tears welled up in my eyes when the familiar soundtrack played at the end.

    The defense battle was handled well and exceeded expectations. Another thing to emphasize is that Western movies still have to watch the big screen.
