The director spent most of his time talking about the dealings between the hunter and the murderer. The hunter is just like a cowboy with courage and personality in a traditional western movie, while the murderer is cold, shrewd and ubiquitous. If after several confrontations, Dao Gaoyi The ruler is high by one foot, and he wins the cowboy danger at the last minute, and returns to his wife half-dead and covered in blood. This will be a classic Western movie. Relying only on the director's control of the camera and narrative: the close-up of the face of the murderer strangling the police in the detention room, the close-up of the traces of the struggle on the floor after the death of the police; the western desert is quietly panicking under the dazzling daylight, in the endless dark night Suddenly the dangerous light flashed slightly; whether it was in the sun or in the dark night, the gunshots always burst out suddenly and then fell into silence. Who doesn’t know if the next gunshot is directed at oneself, life in this desert, fragile and yet There is a steady stream of people who are alive. The cowboy and the assassin have fought against each other several times... This is still a Western movie worth watching.
This is not a simple story about individual heroes. Our cowboy died easily in a shootout. There are no undefeated heroes in this world, such as the story told by the old policeman to the cowboy wife. No matter how powerful it is, it is possible. Be defeated in any environment. Here’s a compliment to Tommy Lee Jones’ acting skills. The old sheriff who used to talk about his experience to young subordinates slowly turned into the main role after the cowboy’s death, in the last forty minutes of the film, if there were no arrests. Power, the audience is unlikely to come out of the cowboy story and pay attention to what he wants to express. At this time, I hope that the old police chief can finally catch the murderer with his sense of justice or rich experience, even with his perseverance, so that we can be relieved, morally satisfied and comforted, and can also warn the self-righteous young man. People, the elderly still contain explosive power, they know the world better, and this has become a mainstream moral film full of human care.
However, the old police chief used almost all his experience and wisdom. The murderer is still unpredictable. With so many unthinkable and inhuman vicious incidents reported in the newspapers, as a policeman, he can only listen to Tian Fang Ye. It's the same, there is no way to track it. The old sheriff felt powerless and desperate before the audience. When he couldn't look down on the future, he recalled the past and dreamed of his father and grandfather. They solved countless cases of heroism in their time. This glory should continue in him. It’s not that he’s not good enough or hard enough, but it’s because the world has become impossible to understand with the logic and methods of the past. Murderers do evil. Although they use 20 million dollars as trace clues, as the private investigator said, they are actually related to dollars and drugs. Irrelevant. Probably in the age of the old police chief’s father’s generation, the so-called wicked were nothing more than sex or profit, and sooner or later this human weakness made them defeated by others. If the cowboy and the murderer want to fight in a real fight, the two are half a cat, but the cowboy actually loses in humanity. He wants money and protects his wife, so the murderer can threaten to control him. On the other hand, the murderer has no humanity, not even "evil" humanity, not greedy for money, not good-looking, and even has no omnipotent Freudian childhood traumatic experience. There is no emotion and principle. The principle is to kill, and it is as natural as God. The irresistible and unpredictable force.
When evil becomes a pure evil that cannot be understood or deciphered, and it is flooded with society, the experience of the elderly: They believe in human nature, morality, personal struggle, and believe that courage, wisdom and strength can defeat evil, they The individuals and honors and the creeds that we value and adhere to seem to be unreliable. This is probably the meaning of the title. This is a society that is broken from the past. Its internal logic can be grasped by people who have grown and succeeded in the past society. Woolen cloth.
