"Without you, what's the use of owning the whole world?" This is probably the most touching declaration of love. The western development of the United States in the late 19th century was the most brilliant chapter in human history to forge ahead and realize dreams. Against this grand background, the second generation of rich Shannon wanted to break free and pursue freedom, while the second generation of Joseph wanted to change. Dilemma and realization of their dreams, both chose the United States as their destination. Like everything has two sides, this is a great country and a bad country. She exudes a vigorous vigor, and also releases a pungent stench. There are hard-working and brave dream chasers, as well as liars, prostitutes, ruffians, bullies, corrupt officials, and all kinds of people working hard on the big stage of society. own role. Despite being in the lowest and dirtiest corner of society, Shannon and Joseph maintained the purest relationship. During those difficult times, neither of them forgot their true dreams. Love is just a thin layer of window paper, but neither of them dares to pierce it easily. In the process of getting along in the same carriage, the same ship, and the same room, love has taken root in their hearts. When people are at the end of their lives, they can't expect love, and they don't even have the most basic life guarantee for the person they love the most. Giving up is probably the wisest choice, but no one can deprive others of the right to dream and love. As if it was God's arrangement, the two met again in Oklahoma. Owning one's own land is the simplest and most realistic dream shared by all mankind. This time, they are only one step away from the life they have dreamed of countless times. The process of the galloping horses chasing the land seems to be a microcosm of the protagonist's pursuit of dreams and harvest of love in the film: in the midst of hardships and exhaustion, the dream of love is fulfilled. "Without you, what's the use of owning the world's land?" The long-suppressed emotions erupted like a volcano. A simple and simple sentence carried the weight of the whole world. Joseph and Shannon planted a small flag that symbolized the ownership of the land and announced the beginning of happiness.
