Heaven's Gate

"Heaven's Gate" seems to have been shrouded in the shadow of a box-office fiasco that led to United Artists' bankruptcy, making most audiences lose interest in it, or even completely ignore the film's essence. Magnificently written, the plot is different from mainstream movies and makes good use of nervous and fancy gimmicks. It is plain but not boring. It is full of poetic descriptions of daily life, and there are also many interesting passages. A musician who plays the violin while skating is impatient at the dinner table A girl who takes off her clothes and enjoys sex, a gunman in a suit full of shoes on the train... It would be too arbitrary to measure the pros and cons of a movie by the box office alone. Pity that this work has been infamous for so many years in vain - BY: Herbsttag

    As a famous "disaster film" in film history (the box office fiasco led to the bankruptcy of United Artists), the film is actually a good work (I watched the 216-minute director's version, not the 149-minute version), the first two thirds The rhythm is a bit slow, but there are many bright spots, and the climax of the last third is quite exciting. As a western epic, the film produced wild, wild, love, friendship and tragedy, and the trio has a shadow of "ancestor and accounting".

    We all used to be prosperous, living a happy and laughing life, but one day we went our separate ways and returned to our respective hometowns, and there was no news. We are getting old, we live in the surface of peace, but we have long understood the ugly and injustice of society in the dark, we resist, we try to change something, but in the end we find that we can't change anything, even our lover...
