After watching "The First Cow", it was very good. In the colonial era of the United States, a white pastry chef and a Chinese gold digger joined hands to start a business with the milk of a capitalist, and made the first bag of gold by selling fried cakes in the street stall economy. Unfortunately, they were discovered by the lackeys of the capitalists. They were killed by gangsters who coveted their wealth while they were fleeing. The two corpses slept side by side. After many years, they were dug up. The two skeletons looked like a pair of lovers.
The continuation and application of the core elements of western films, primitive and wild and man's victory over the sky, capitalism and natural economy, hard work and struggle to realize the American dream and return to nature are all empty. There is no shortage of Chinese gold diggers, white colonists, and Indians. In the end, the world is unkind and fate is impermanent.
Very white left, left is now the dominant tendency of American film and television. The bourgeoisie paid a lot of money to ship cows from England just to add some cream to the tea, but they were unwilling to give a little milk to the poor to start a business. In the Western films, Bo Yuntian has a little gaygay masculinity, and here it becomes the feeling of Bai Nan and Chinese who work together in life and die together.
It is even a bit pro-China, echoing the rise of China. Chinese gold diggers have reminded the capitalists several times that the Chinese like the beaver fur here. It is a big market. Unfortunately, the European-minded capitalists have only London and Paris in their eyes, out.
The special thing is that the Indians are no longer demonized rivals, but have replaced the position of the black slaves' loyal servants. The capitalist married an Indian lady and had a group of Indian butler servants in suits. That is to say, it avoids the Indian issue and mainly describes class differences.
The white bastard who killed them for wealth, he will probably be the myth of Western wealth in the future, and his descendants will probably be able to run for president of the United States in a few years. Of course, this is an outside imagination. This is the West.
I know that people who like this movie like the slow narrative, there are dramatic plots but not too intense, shallow and unfinished, but when I watch it, I always think, let the Coen brothers make it, maybe the rhythm will be more compact and meaningful The brighter it is, the more interesting it will be. After reading too much, I have no patience to understand, and always want to quickly grasp the meaning.
