Please note that the background of the film is set in the United States after the end of the Civil War. Although the United States has achieved reunification and liberated slaves, social contradictions have not been fundamentally alleviated.
Only in the process of capital accumulation after the Industrial Revolution in the film, the contradictions between capitalists and small farmers, and the contradictions between capitalists and Indians are all exposed, but the way the capitalists who dominate the society solve the contradictions is simple and crude. demolition of barns, killing Indian women and children.
It's true that Ben Wade is a robber, but isn't the capitalist in the film a robber? ?
When the capitalists demolished the barn, Dan's son suggested that Dan find a sheriff, but Dan said it was useless. The sheriff goes all out after the capitalist is looted by Ben Wade. How ironic is this? ?
Some netizens commented that Dan made a "hero" by escorting Ben Wade, but while escorting Ben the "thief", he compromised and sought approval from a bigger "thief" capitalist (railway company), which is a real hero ? ? Dan is just a cannon fodder for the capitalists.
Of course, even though capitalists are thieves, this cannot be a justification for thieves. But Ben is at least living upright, admitting that people take what they need, and there is still some light of faith in his heart, and some heroic feelings! Two stars to Russell Crowe!
