In the first story, the director used audiovisual elements to create a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere. First of all, the director used the breaking of the fourth wall to express the male protagonist's contempt for everything incisively and vividly. Secondly, the director put the camera into the guitar, shot the protagonist's hand strumming from the hole, and matched the protagonist's singing, which made the audience feel very relaxed and happy. Finally, when the protagonist is dueling with other people, a large number of long-range lenses are used to shoot the opponent, which reflects the contempt for others and the arrogance of the protagonist.

    When I watch it, I keep thinking of the American drama "Westworld" and the game "Red Dead Redemption", it's just materialized! Six short stories are connected in a book. The fifth story that impressed me the most. The bloody hole between the girl's eyebrows seems to be the portrayal and summary of her life. The one that Fu Lanlan appeared on was also very interesting, the little old man who was short and shrewd, carrying an iron pot and holding a shotgun, was the whole movie laughing. The Coen brothers have a real western taste.

    The time-honored "The Ballad of Buster Scrub" once again sings on the uncertain West Wilderness, but the wild and absurd story always happens where there are people. It shows that the Coen brothers have always believed that cruelty and tenderness are in this "human"-centered world law, so one by one common short stories in uniqueness strung this epic long volume about human activities. As we read page by page, we seem to be out of the way and seem to be in the middle of it.
