"One person, one female student"

Riding a white horse, carrying a foreign gun, the third brother ate the food of the Eighth Route Army, and when he arrived there, he laid down the city of Yulin.
——John (Part of the lyrics of the folk song "Riding a White Horse" in northern Shaanxi, from which "The East is Red" resounding throughout the world)



If I am here, I will die in battle, ah friend, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye! If I die in battle, you must bury me; please bury me in the high hills, goodbye friends, goodbye, goodbye! Bury me on a high hill, and put a beautiful flower on it;
- Sean (the theme song of the former South movie "Bridge", "Goodbye, Friends")




I am big, Leone, beautiful, I am big Morricone, My Once Upon a Time Trilogy! ! !
I'm fascinated, Sean's three flashbacks are too romantic, too beautiful, completely Italian-style revolution, romanticism, and heroic feelings. . . What is the story of a red lover hidden there?

Now there is a question, the long-haired beauty in Sean's memory, will she pursue Sean all the way to Mexico, and then marry General John, who has a lot of gold coins in the revolution? Ultimately fulfilling John's revolutionary motive and purpose of "one person, one female student"?

    Leone's most underrated film, the rush to finish the film has made the film less but unnecessary finesse, and has achieved a master work that best reflects the director's personal style. Close-ups, flashbacks, long takes, slow motion, Morricone's soundtrack is simply intoxicating. "Those who complete the revolution are ignorant of the revolution, those who plan the revolution betray the revolution, and those who insist on the revolution finally choose death."

    (8/10) A revolution is not a dinner party. A revolution is a riot of one class to overthrow another - Emperor Mao Wu. James Cobain, who appeared later, is the protagonist of the story, and I mostly watched this film for Cobain. Revolutions are always people who shouted the slogan of equality to replace the previous dynasty, and then do the same thing as the previous dynasty, and don't think about the economy and stability until everyone is bleeding and tired. History has never been an exception.
