Before going home, I watched the 16-year remake of the heroic Seven Flood Dragons. The original is a 60-year-old movie. In fact, it is a copy of the Seven Samurai directed by Akira Kurosawa in 1954, but the story takes place in the western United States after the Civil War. In the business atmosphere of Hollywood, the original Bushido spirit disappeared, leaving only the tall hero image and unclear motives. What's interesting is that the 16th version of Shimada Kanbei changed from Shimura Joe to Denzel Washington, and Washington's natural image of justice naturally concealed the impure motives of his character. In general, there are a lot of bright spots, but they are all wasted. The final ending could have been a "magical work", but of course people in the theater will not see the "hero" being killed by a dark gun. So the fart who took up the gun survived, and the blood-stained hands regained the pitchfork; the sheriff who wanted to strangle the villain under the cross for revenge turned out to be a hero.
(Two interesting points: 1. If you look at it from another angle, there is no pure justice in this film, and there is no perfect villain. The poetic justice that the American people talk about all day can just be used. 2. The Chinese people You may not have heard this movie, but you must have heard the familiar melody at major awards ceremonies.)
