good middleman

Teacher Zhou mentioned sports in his film course, and gave an example that the reason why Hollywood movies are good is that sports are well shot. Therefore, when I watch movies now, I pay close attention to the movement of each movie and the shaping of three-dimensional space, which may become the direction of my review of movies. Whether a movie is good or not is not only related to "what to make", but also "how to make it". Because the same material is in the hands of different directors, the films produced will be worlds apart. The script, scenes, actors, sound, and lighting are the content of the movie, and the shooting style, techniques, and techniques of the movie are also the content of the movie. Strictly speaking, "Red Dead Redemption" as the first part of Leone's "Red Dead Redemption Trilogy" is not good-looking. It is very similar to Hong Kong films in the 1980s, but the lines are written very concisely. A cowboy named Joe wanders into the small town of San Mitchell on the border between the United States and Mexico. The people in the town are proud of killing people, so the town is sparsely populated, but it is still divided into two tit-for-tat factions - Baxter and Lojos. With a bright mind, Joe made a fortune selling false information to both parties. But because of her kindness and love for Marisa, she secretly let go of the woman who was occupied by Raymond, the most powerful gunner in the Lojos faction, and has since fallen into conflict with Lojos. Of course, after a beating, Lojos was eliminated by Joe. Although the film is a rough western style, it still reveals human concern. Some of the horse racing scenes in the film are good. The most worth mentioning is that the scene of the confrontation between Joe and Lojos at the end of the movie is very similar to the duel scene in Kurosawa's work "Red Dead Redemption".

    First movie I watched in 2012. The opening credits and Morricone's music are great!

    As the first part of the Red Dead trilogy, I just passed it. There is also a similar joy that the big prostitutes are not here sooner.
