It's easy to break through just now, and it can last forever if you keep pace with the times
After watching the first season of Yellowstone, aside from other things, I just wanted to start from the play and write some feelings. Of course, the script itself is unreasonable, so I don't talk about it, just talk about these things that come out of the show.
First of all, the biggest feeling is that it is too easy to break. John Dutton is the prime example. One of my big feelings is that his troubles are self-inflicted. It is usually said that in order to cover up a lie, you need N lies, and similarly, in order to cover up a crime, you need N crimes to cover up. For example, this foreign real estate developer, of course, is ruthless enough to attack both the court and black tactics, but in fact, after careful analysis, this is a petty criminal, and there are enough weaknesses and shortcomings, but they are not enough for Beth to play. There is absolutely no need to divert the river, it takes too much effort, but brings more trouble. As the saying goes, if you attack a martial arts, you must attack first. After all, attacking will save you more trouble. By the way, the woman that Brother Fang invited is a really powerful character. This kind of talent is the mainstream in the United States. She uses all means skillfully, and can force you to hang herself without a gun. If John had such an assistant, he would just go home and sleep, and sign a few checks after drinking.
Not only do you find trouble yourself, but your opponents create it yourself. His second son, Jimmy, is such a good assistant that he is forced to rebel. Not to mention that this is just a nonsense. The legal system in the United States is too complex. There is no all-round lawyer at all, and it has long been refined into various specialties. Dutton's such a large industry involves animal husbandry, environmental protection, assets, real estate, etc. (I just watched an American movie a few days ago, environmental protection, animal husbandry and the police colluded to take advantage of bullshit regulations to deprive farm animals and illegally resell them. Fortune) Under normal circumstances, Jimmy leads a law firm that includes lawyers from various professions. Not only is Dutton the largest client, but he can also use Jimmy's well-developed contacts in the state to contract various businesses. Jimmy can run for Attorney General, which is a great benefit to the Dutton family. In the future, when he becomes Attorney General, it will be more convenient to take care of the family. The close relationship between the Attorney General and the police also allows for better control of the police force. In the play, John gets angry when he doesn't answer a few calls to Jimmy. This is purely a child's play. Just kidding. In the past, if Jimmy was sick, he would stop playing? The family should be looked after by a group of lawyers. Beth said that her company has a group of lawyers, which is the basic situation in the United States. John, who has the slightest brain, should not oppose Jimmy's candidacy for attorney general, and should fully support it.
A tough underworld character like John is destined to not go far. I am amazed that he can live to such an old age. It is estimated that he has already died in reality. Crime is the last resort. If you turn crime into a pre-emptive method, and kill a few people before considering other methods, then the trouble is really not enough. In the last episode, the third son, Rip, etc. kidnapped people on the street, and also drove the Dutton family car. They were arrogant to the limit. Are they really not afraid of surveillance, witnesses or something? This brother Fang is not alone. If it is so easy to deal with, the first episode will be destroyed. Do you still use so many plots in the back? To be able to invite such a powerful woman, she must not be too weak, and she has enough friends. It will not be silent when she dies, and it will be a huge trouble in the future.
The Dutton family has existed for more than 120 years, but to survive forever, having more sons is not a solution, but a change. John has already said that it is because we have people who are jealous that we have attracted so many enemies. Brother Fang is a representative. If you kill one brother, there are still tens of millions to come. How many can you kill? Indian's head is killed, can another one be selected to kill all the reservations? Therefore, not only cannot use too rigid means of struggle, but at the same time the Dutton family has to change, it cannot resist the general trend. Such a large family, with so much wealth, can be capitalized as soon as possible, abandon the so-called family complex, and use their geographical advantages to form good relationships and open more businesses. If you don't want to give up the ranch, keep doing it, but don't be the only one. Similarly, in the conflict with the Indians, there is nothing wrong with turning enemies into friends and opening casinos together (that is, casinos will increase the property tax of the Dutton family, I don’t understand this, please explain if you understand), deal with this ambition Booming Indians, the best way is to break through from the inside.
I haven't seen the spoilers for the second and third seasons, but I have two hunch: John will eventually bear all the sins and whitewash the others; the cowboy that Rip picked up from the prison is a top player, and he will not become the life extension of the Dutton family in the future. The man, the senior undercover agent invited by the FBI, completely overthrew the Dutton family.
