Inner Metaphor or Outer Lens

After reading the film reviews (mainly short reviews), I found that the reviews tended to be a bit too focused on the pictures, shots, and explicit plots, but they ignored the interior a little bit, so I couldn’t help but write something.

Might be the reason I watched a Western for the first time?

First of all, metaphors are meant to be more than entertainment elements. .

I don't understand why so many people are commenting on whether the entertainment component of this film is in line with consumer appetite. I can only say that you can't use the standard of a commercial film to judge a Western with strong metaphors. Looking for a commercial film to watch is mindless and exciting, just like you don’t ask whether the heroine in “The Furnace” is beautiful, whether the plot in “Schindler’s List” is procrastinating, etc. So personally think that if the movie is over, you only remember it If you live in Depp's face or Armie Hammer's mask, it can only mean that your viewing understanding is still in the primitive stage. .

Personal opinion don't like it

I actually enjoyed watching this movie, even though the middle of the film was very slow, even though Depp's acting was self-defeating, even though there were a lot of bugs that shouldn't shoot or not, it really affected the sense of engagement. . But I'm glad that its metaphors are very well done, and the contradiction between the invasion of white people's modernization process and the persistence of traditional culture is unreservedly displayed on the big screen, so I give all four stars to the plot and the last star to Depp.

I was impressed by Armie Hammer's naive statement to the Indian chief that he could organize war. The way to defend the last dignity of traditional civilization is to die in the battlefield

But on the ground under our feet, we will never (or over our lifetime) see these similar ""'s taken by our own people. It's just that

This is the first time I saw a Western movie. I have insufficient reviews. Welcome to correct me

    The mix of elements was enough to spark a debate among moviegoers about whether the film was a Western. But without Quentin's savage Cult savagery, which makes this Western scrambled stew taste less full of flavors. The whole film always makes people feel like watching a transvestite Depp play a far less than Nini's mouth gun Armie Hammer.
