Can you be a child again?

"Sunset and Yellow Sand" directed by Peckinpa shows us the true West in different voices. Pike said: "This is our last time. This time we have to do it well. He even dreamed of buying a big farm with the looted money. But they miss the town and are chased by Thornton and his party. Dodge asked: I didn't think they'd been chasing us, how much are we worth? "It depends on how much they want to chase us," Pike said. Pike was just relieved until he had fled to Mabach's territory. The old coachman, with years of experience in partnership with Thornton, said that he would catch up. Pike also partnered with Thornton. Hearing this, his expression immediately went down and he rode away alone. Pike and Thornton sympathize with each other. In fact, Thornton had at least a few chances to shoot, not necessarily to catch Pike, but he was half a shot late every time, allowing Pike to run away. The first time was in a small town, the muzzle was already aimed, Thornton hesitated, a golden tuba passed in front of Pike, and the bullet hit the tuba; the second time was to blow up the bridge, Thornton was on the bridge, It is also possible to shoot with a gun. At this time, Pike knows that the bridge is about to be blown up, so he takes off his hat and salutes his opponent. Thornton falls into the river before he can shoot. In the end, Pike said that he was tired of being hunted and killed. In fact, maybe he didn't want to run away alone. For him, a team, without An Qi, is no longer complete. Even if he can escape, Thornton will die, and he will be caught and executed by the government. So in the end, he chose to die with his brother: "let's go" "why not?" The plot in the film is really a thunderstorm: at the beginning, a group of children played with scorpions and threw the scorpions in the ant colony. The robbery, the bombing of the bridge, and the last four were like being in a no-man's land, one against ten. . . There is no lust, no special effects, no sensationalism, but it makes people feel difficult to calm down. Even some seemingly bland pictures are also shocking: Mabaqi's troops are fighting, bullets are flying, but a beautiful woman is so calmly singing on the train, a group of people sing and dance, and a bullet is in the air. Flying beside him; the child looked up at Mabach with boundless admiration, as if death did not exist. In the end, when the four of Pike went to rescue An Qi and walked past the army camp, an old woman was wearing a local clothes but a military cap. The woman was numbly feeding the child. The soldiers looked at these four people and laughed. Point and point, everything is weird and everything is normal. The final picture shows the four people laughing, each with childlike faces, which is exactly what the old clan said: everyone wants to be a child, even the worst person. . .
