I heard that "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" is the last film in the "Trilogy of Murder" series. I myself don't like watching this type of film. This time I watched the third part of the "killing" for Depp. . Compared with the general gunfight movie, this movie is really a different one. It starts with the scenery of the border desert town at the beginning of the movie, the blue sky, the clouds like cotton candy, the stray gunman and the rhythm of the Latin guitar. I think the general atmosphere of this movie is very romantic and unique. In addition to the storyline, the first few shootout shots of the film reminded me of Wu Yusen's film. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, the director of the film gave me the feeling that I was trying to create a "violent aesthetic" visual effect. Especially in the gunfight scene in the church, in the rain of guns and rain, the actor’s guitar sound matched it, bright and sensual. In the chaotic fierce battle, an old lady who had silently prayed in the church got up, completely unwilling. The moved slowly walked out, and she stayed out of the incident, as if what happened next to her was not a killing game, but a stage of Flemingo, which made people couldn't help but marvel: she was so characterful! But no matter how you look at this picture, it is familiar to me. It almost didn't let me see a few white pigeons flying out amidst the sound of guns. Speaking of the plot, this is actually a not-so-simple story. The director arranged several clues to proceed at the same time, using parallel and interlaced camera editing techniques to explain the plot of each context separately. It's a pity that it was too complicated, so that in the end, every context was not explained very clearly. The director also paid attention to too many details, which led to the overall uncertainty of the story. When it comes to the character of the CIA officer played by Depp, who played the most critical role in the whole storyline, his portrayal of him in the film is a bit scribble. I heard that it took only seven days to complete the filming. This is the whole film. One of the reasons why the film is unclear. However, Depp's changeable look in the film and the last scene where he went to fight with Mexican children were also a great comfort. In addition, I heard that he also composed a theme song for the film. In general, this is a very "feeling" film, which combines many romantic elements, handsome guys, beauties, beautiful music and border scenery, as well as beautiful shots. Everything looks beautiful. ...If you are willing to listen to music amidst the sound of guns.
