It must be admitted that Yellowstone is a show that I have been able to exclude from the to watch list for two years, of course, because of its typical can no longer typical label: western, cowboy, full of male hormones. However, at another sharing meeting, when a teacher said that his feeling after watching Huangshi was a kind of tragic sense of nothingness, I was moved exactly. So, I watched.
In my viewing experience, it is a typical western cowboy film with a deserted smoke and a straight smoke. The desert ravines and cowboy horseback at the beginning all accurately follow the narrative rhythm and color of a typical western film. But if you brush away the dust and sand floating on the surface, you will see the scars under the hard core of the cowboy, and you will know that these capital wars around the land, under the hatred and killing, are eternal The loyalty and maintenance of the family, the division and entanglement of the family have never been able to escape the bondage and ties of each other, the love, hatred and hatred are very direct and very divided. The value system of the Western right is very colorful.
What is the head of the family?
Jonn Dulton, the godfather of the Yellowstone family, played by veteran tough guy Kevin Costner, is an Iron Man-like figure who is responsible for guarding the 132-year-old family estate. His wife left in an accident on horseback with the child. The child grew up in such a change. Due to the lack of mother's love and the strict parenting of the father, one by one broke and licked the wounds in their own world. Side by side with my father to protect Yellowstone. He is the most full and powerful character in the whole play, except for RIP. Of course, he is an existence that runs counter to the perfect father. He has a clear understanding of the nature of the four children, their weaknesses and pain, but does not cure them. He requires the next generation to hand over unreserved loyalty and dedication to the family. The paternal love of a completely different system from the oriental loving-kindness constructs a deformed yet functioning family relationship. Typical patriarchal symbol of controlling authority.
When he heard his daughter's guilt and self-blame and burst into tears, there was no ripple on his face, when he ruthlessly cut off his second son's development path and demanded his self-sacrifice for the family, you would even feel sorry for the family. His insensitivity was uncomfortable, but in the next second, he held the dead son's body and gently whispered on his forehead, he played tricks on arranging work for his daughter-in-law, hoping that when he left his son, you would control his temperature. Want to feel soft. Too many divisions are ruthless in such a parent-child relationship that rejects each other but tries to preserve it. The love and devotion that is hard but not lacking in elasticity, I think, is the key to the Dutton family not falling apart in such a close confrontation with each other.
Daughter Beth, it is no accident that she will become stronger and stronger on the road of female BOSS. She killed her mother in an accident on horseback, unable to come out of the past, immersed in the guilt of her father and mother, on the one hand, numb herself with alcohol, On the one hand, the ruthless killing and plundering in the world of capital is the father's white glove of capital outside the land. May be dissolute to the point of giving up on himself, for his father without bottom line, suffering his own evil, willing to be the flower of his father's evil, encountering gods, killing gods and ghosts and killing ghosts along the way, the background is empty, and the inside is broken beyond repair. But that love has paved the way for self-repair and the growth of the mother's maternal status in the following seasons.
The parent-child relationship in Yellowstone can't get rid of the typical Oedipus complex, love is to stay away, endless attempts to get rid of the father's control but unconsciously become a father-like person. Whether it's Jamie's attempt to run for political office, cutting off his father's manipulation to pursue freedom, or his younger son's insistence on marrying and having children on an Indian reservation away from his father. All are Oedipus-like struggles, but the ending is fateful return to Yellowstone, guarding the land and the Dutton family with my father, is fate and love that cannot be cut off. Grow in the shadows, choose and shape yourself.
Looking at Yellowstone, in addition to looking at the human nature of the family, there is also a very important historical entanglement between land and capital, whites and Indians.
Today, the power of capital to tie up the money made by the land is unprecedented in history, so the relationship between people and people and the relationship between people and land is also being transformed and distorted. The tragedy of the land that the Indians have endured in history, to the so-called compensatory privilege of opening casinos on reserved land today, the fractured historical wounds are healed on the surface, and under the tyranny of capital, in order to protect themselves, under the shadow of the rules, they are also being treated. Become a master of capital manipulation. The killing and burying on the reserved ground, and the self-contained handling of contradictions, are so self-consistent in Huangshi's drama that one chills down the spine.
