"Red Dead Redemption" should be the best in it. A bit scratching my head is that this is an American film made by an Italian, and the subsequent trilogy is a model and classic of Western films. It's not difficult to understand, because it's completely imitating Kurosawa Akira's "Intentional Stick", which is neither good-looking nor difficult.
A pair of boots, a bodysuit, a hat, a beard, a cigarette, a cool face, a revolver, a horse, a borderless desert, a tavern, it is a Western. There is also the iconic shooting action of placing the gun on the waist, holding the gun in one hand and pulling the gun in the other.
I have to say that the prototype of this film is the master Kurosawa's "Intentional Stick". The Italian is also too dark, and the plot is completely copied. Even after the protagonist was beaten, his eyes were swollen all the time, but he changed his eyes. Copying is not a crime. Incomplete copying is funny. It is a bit like a primary school student copying homework. If it is not lazy and not copying it, it is a bit different if it is deliberately copied without being seen by the teacher.
Kurosawa's films have a much more detailed picture, maybe because of the different national characters, the Orientals are still much more delicate, and the big American is synonymous with roughness. The layout of small Japanese villages, the furnishings in the small shop, and even the wine glass and jug all show the director's intentions. The roles of the two gangs are unbiased, and Red Dead Redemption is not enough to describe only one of them, and the other gang is just a foil in every way, and it does not look evenly matched at all. The performance of the actors is also high and low, how to say, it is a bit like the difference between TVB's soap operas and satellite TV's anti-Japanese dramas.
The Red Dead Redemption has always been a classic. Back to the first thing that led me to watch, it was the movie music. Every time I think of music, I can match the atmosphere of the lonely hero in the picture, especially the whistle. Kurosawa's music is a bit dull, except that there are many Eastern instruments, and drums alone can strike different effects. The clapper called Geng, the final drumbeat is a bit refreshing like eating too much meat and then eating a cucumber.
