be lost

This movie is a representative work of "Western Wilderness Movie". The film uses a large number of long shots and empty shots to show the Horridian fantasy, showing the realism of postmodernism. Unlike "Waiting for Godot", the protagonist passively waits for the ideal to arrive, but the protagonist of this film takes the initiative to cross the road of Oregon to find his ideal home. The exploration and loss of the protagonists in the wasteland is an insinuation of the confused psychology of modern people in society. The appearance of Indians brings hope and despair. "Mick's Shortcut" thinks that there is a shortcut to take, but it often sends itself to a dead end! ............ Well, the above is all made up by me. I watched it for nearly two hours, and I don't know what I watched. Give me back my time! ! ! ! ! The separation of the artist and the masses, I, a layman, have no idea what the director wants to express! In any case, the director should be having a good time, and the scenery of the wasteland is indeed unique. PS: The film won the Catholic Culture Award at the 67th Venice Film Festival! ! ! ! ! ! (It's a video specially made for the award)

Meek's Cutoff quotes

  • Emily Tetherow: You don't know much about women, do you Stephen Meek?

    Stephen Meek: Well, I, I know somethin' or other.

    Emily Tetherow: If you say so.

    Stephen Meek: Well, I know women are different from men. I know that much. Well, I'll tell you the difference if you care to hear.

    Emily Tetherow: I don't doubt you will.

    Stephen Meek: Women, women are created on the principle of chaos. The chaos of creation, disorder, bringing new things into the world. Men are created on the principle of destruction. It's like cleansing, ordering, destruction.

  • [last lines]

    Stephen Meek: I'm taking my orders from you now, Mr. Tetherow. Miss Tetherow. And we're all taking our orders from him, I'd say.

    [about the Indian walking ahead]

    Stephen Meek: We're all just playing our parts now. This was written long before we got here. I'm at your command.
