In the film, Harlan, a cowboy who was born out of time, is a modern version of the church. .Gicord. He can give up his only income - a job at a gas station for watching the sea, he can also fight against the police father who represents the power of modern society for his lover, and he can "borrow" in the name of love. "Walking a white horse on a concrete highway can also teach a little boy to shoot a gun with the kindness and coolness of a father like a friend. If all this happened in the era of the westward movement, Harlan must be a great man It 's a
pity that the current LA has already changed:
the traffic flow is like weaving, Harlan is very confused, "cars make people lazy" is the reason why he doesn't have a car, he will rush into the traffic and tell the depressed people who are in the traffic jam People shouted: You don't belong in there, you belong here! Outside!
Too bad most people just thought he was just another lunatic who took medicine and HIigh.
Indifferent crowd, when Harlan and Charlie "borrowed" a horse , Charlie exclaimed angrily: This is my property! Are you trying to steal something?! Randomly pulled out a shotgun and desperately tried to protect his property. In Harlan's eyes, cowboys should be brothers, borrow a horse, be on time There should be no problem with returning it.
Unfortunately, modern people only care about money and ownership.
Love succumbs to material things. In Harlan's eyes, true love should be like the old Western movies, full of elopement passion and tacit understanding of heart. And the reality In Tobe, who would rather be arguing every day with his estranged father than stepping out of the door with the courage.
Harlan, who likes to listen to western minor tunes, likes to shoot like a god, likes to wear an old cowboy hat, and likes to wear a SHIRT that modern people find funny to take to the streets. This pure cowboy with ideals, goals, warmth and sincerity can only be found in today's society. Sleeping on the street, occasionally doing odd jobs, occasionally stealing, and hitting the wall everywhere. But this does not affect his noble life in the cowboy's fairy tale. This complex of trusting the cowboy spirit too much determines that his life is destined to be out of tune with the modern world. Let ’s
talk about the most shocking scene: in the final stage of the film, Harlan riding a white horse and being chased up the hill by the police, the camera slowly pulled up, and under the hill was no longer the picturesque scenery of the western town, but a building There is a tragic and tragic hero at that moment.
If the movie is really like Harlan wakes up and goes back in time, it will be a beautiful movie. And the truth is cruel Yes, as cruel as Don Gicord's death.
Edward Norton is as good as ever, no need to comment.
Real cowboys are no longer needed in modern times, next time you see cowboy-related stuff in the mall, please pinch Take care of your wallet :)
