The story of a lifetime, our lifetime

The six stories seem to be unrelated, but they actually confirm our life. As children, we were like the white cowboys in the first story, fearless, full of joy, feeling different, until we encountered a problem that was too big for us to imagine, and then we were ruthlessly knocked down. Then we entered adolescence, and this time, like the cowboys in the second story, we learned to rebel, thinking we had plenty of opportunities and time. However, unknowingly found that there is no chance, you have entered the society and grown up. Then you start to enrich yourself and learn to hide your strengths and bide your time. Just like the thrush in the third story, you agree to the boss, but social reality, no matter how hard you tried before, once you find that you are useless, the boss will abandon you at any time. Until one day, you wake up and decide to live a happy life by your own efforts. Just like the old man in the fourth story, he is conscientious and dedicated, year after year. At this time, you must always watch out for the cold guns behind the villains. Some people think about getting something for nothing, and they'll keep staring at you. Finally, you feel that you are successful and you can live a good and safe life, but you will see your loved ones disappear one by one, and you will become timid and afraid of death. Finally, in your later years, you will tell others the story of your life, recite the memories of your life, and the dust will eventually return to the loess. A life is like the rule that the coachman laid down. The carriage leads to death, and it never stops. It is absolutely fair. Everyone will eventually enter the gate of death.

    In the end, I even pulled stagecoach and wanted to shoot the tension of the narrow space. I think the Coen brothers will not consider shooting a new version of Guanshan Feidu. Do you want to see it!

    3.5 The first four are good, from absurd song and dance comedy to black humor and then suddenly changed into tragic and aria. The last two are slightly close.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs quotes

  • Buster Scruggs (segment "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs"): [checks his hat after being shot and finds a bullet entry hole on the front and a bloody exit hole on the back] Well... that ain't good.

  • Buster Scruggs (segment "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs"): [after gunning down everyone in the cantina Buster notices a survivor crawling on the floor] It appears the vitals of this lucky son-of-a-gun remain unpunctured. Sloppy shootin' on my part.
