It's human nature

It's my first time to watch John Huston's movie. Still stunned by its sign of human nature. The major stoyline is based on two impoverished people who have lost sight of future. They struggle to make a living even at the expense of the loss of dignity before meeting the old wise man in the bar. He gives them a road to the fortune. When everything is going on well as they think, greedy appears and begins to occupy the dark side of human nature gradually. Ascalation of contradictions become the motivation to take a people's life. And the consequence is obvious, anyone who want to obey the god's obligation will be punished just like the gold whispering in the wind at the end of movie. They will disappear forever with the human nature.

    In 1948, the United States had already produced such a deep film, only shock can describe it. Humphrey Bogart interprets a man who only takes his own part from the very beginning, and finally feels that others want to take his gold, because money makes people crazy and greedy. Although his final fate was tragic (it was killed by the bandits), the ending was even more surprising. The gold dug up in eight months was lost by the bandits as sand and returned to nature.

    Continue to test the three protagonists with gold, applaud the screenwriter, and make sure that he really digs gold. The interspersed Cody, bandits, Native Americans, etc. play their respective roles, making the whole story natural and sincere, which is the most important reason why I like good Westerns. Bogart's acting skills were superb, and the role he played was unexpected. Gold made him seriously suspicious and aimed the gun at his accomplices. When he was in the city, he swore that he would not be tempted by money, but would only Take my part, I believed it at the time. Cody's letter from home is strong evidence of the screenwriter's sincerity, and it sets the stage for the whereabouts of the nearly killed partner at the end. After the gold tested the three gold diggers, it returned to its original place. Howard laughed brightly, which also proved from the side why he said he was a gold digger at the beginning but was still poor.
