Parker, who are these people helping? They roamed the rivers and lakes, robbing the rich and helping the poor; the villagers warmly welcomed them and said goodbye. An Qi is simple and honest. When he saw his girlfriend without shame and took the initiative to fall into the arms of the corrupt warlord, he was so furious that he pulled out a gun and killed her; he offered to use the arms he had stolen or his share to arm her. The villagers went to confront the warlords. Da Qi is upright and upright, and regards An Qi as his own brother. That pair of brothers are very flamboyant, and they often think of their own benefits first when encountering troubles, then follow Parker, obediently and obediently, and in the end, knowing that the evil is more than good, they still go with Parker to the warlord to get An Qi back. The old man who drove Pike's carriage was a "old ginger". His grandson also participated in Pike's operation of robbing the railway company's treasury. Afterwards, he first asked Pike how his grandson was doing in the operation, not his life or death. ; at last he followed the mountaineers armed only with machetes against the warlords. The leader of these people, Pike, wanted to stop after robbing the railway company's bank for the last vote; he stabilized the situation with his arrogance at the moment when Angie pulled the gun and killed the girlfriend; Safely evacuated from the warlord, he agreed to the warlord's conditions to rob the arms on the American military column; when An Qi was caught by the warlord, he offered to the warlord to exchange gold for An Qi; Killing An Qi inhumanly, immediately drew a gun, killed the warlord, and led the crowd to a fierce gun battle with countless soldiers of the warlord, and sacrificed heroically. That Thornton, Ben and Pike, went on the run together. After being arrested by the authorities, he was forced to arrest Pike in order to survive; however, he always just followed Pike from a distance, acting by chance, and finally came to the scene of the fierce battle, only to see a The corpse, Pike's body was covered with gun holes. He was despairing, took away Pike's pistol, let the "bonus killer" carry Pike's body away, and followed the old carriage driver and armed mountaineers. The film faithfully depicts the ignorant, backward, impoverished and unfair society in the area bordering Mexico and the United States at the beginning of the last century; The dissolute and shameless warlord gave ruthless condemnation; eulogized the righteous actions of Parker's gang of reckless heroes, expressed sincere regret for their ending, and sighed. It was also pointed out that the road for the wild heroes to roam the rivers and lakes will not work in the end, and their only way out is to unite with armed villagers and mountain people to fight against the warlords. The film is one of the most exciting Westerns, the director is excellent, the screen design and background music are also very exciting. The view of the Mexican wilderness under the piercing sun is breathtaking; the occasional Latin music sets off the atmosphere needed for the plot; especially at the end, when Pike and the others stride past the warlord's soldiers with their chests erect, the rough The Latin songs with drum beats fully showed the pride of the heroes. At the end of the film, in the unrestrained singing, the figures of Pike, Dutch, the pair of brothers and An Qi laughing, make people feel angry.
