The story of "Western Slow Tunes"
takes place at the end of the nineteenth century. It begins with a young man on a journey. He is a love-seeking journey. He crossed the ocean from Scotland to the continental United States, riding a horse, walking alone, all the way west. , seems to be a cool story, but don't forget, he was in the late 19th century, that piece of the American continent tore down each other, plundered resources, and everyone was equipped with guns. The young man was indifferent and naive, and went to the west to find his beloved girl. He thought that in addition to survival, this world also had meaning in life. On the way, he met a man and asked him to protect him with money, and slowly cultivated friendship, but when the flower of friendship was about to bloom, there was a decisive battle of bounty hunters, and the beloved girl was the target. In the end, the young man took the risk and vowed to protect his lover to the death. Ironically, he died at the accidental hands of the girl. The story itself is not much to watch, but the director's sincere way of shooting is worthy of admiration. The method of using guns, the shooting of bullets, and striving for real live pictures, the cruelty and primitiveness of the west, showing the desolate and barbaric era, the coldness of human nature. It is a good picture language to use realism to restore the naked way of reality, so that the audience can get closer to the essence.
