Everett Hitch, a graduate of the West Point Military Academy, came to Appaloosa as an assistant to Virgil Cole. Their profession has a special color of that era, which means "violating violence with violence". The whole storyline revolves around how to bring Appaloosa local evil leader Bragg to justice. Although there is no shortage of scenes such as fierce gunfights, the overall feeling is that the stories of these several people, just like the place where the film took place, is full of the tedious taste of the western wilderness, silence, and indifference to the world. I don’t know why, but I actually think of it. From the "New Dragon Inn".
Although Virgil Cole is brave and good at fighting, he is obviously not educated, so he needs to be better than his Everett. When Rene's widow gets off the train, the camera keeps getting us to see the eyes Everett is looking at her. Until Virgil kissed Alli. The morality of a man, the morality of an educated man, made him voluntarily withdraw from the competition, but this did not prevent the woman with a mysterious background from resorting to alienation.
Maybe Arogon in "The Lord of the Rings" left a deep impression on me. I always feel that Everett, who still doesn't speak much, still has the demeanor of a king. I think he is the only character in the whole film who has a brain and can think.
The reason for the duel before leaving was to avoid being sloppy, and Alli, who likes to take refuge in forces by nature, can accompany Virgil at ease. I think, Bragg is dead, so the people who came to Appaloosa because of him can feel fulfilled if they want to move on.
Sometimes people like form. Because the next stop of form is meaning. In pursuit of meaning, you must give yourself a little memory that you can leave behind.
My favorite part is when Everett consciously goes to check on the Mexicans who are staring at him from above, Cole just gives him a look, as if in front of a small town porch, and Everett moves without a word, leading Bragg's horse. The Mexicans wanted horses (perhaps this is the reason why Appaloosa horses are famous), and their conflict with Everett and his party started from robbing the horse. If it failed, Everett shot and killed his own, so Everett went to pay it back. This detail determines the image of Everett's integrity and integrity from start to finish.
If there's anything that hasn't gone away by the end of the film, I think it's Everett and Viggo P. Mortensen, they're on my mind.
