last cowboy

Tim Cheng's film review mainly doesn't want to waste screenshots...

In fact, it is quite a coincidence that "Flying Off the Mountains" and this "Searcher" are the same as John Ford and John Wayne. The prologue and epilogue of the western are both John Ford and John Wayne, which can be regarded as a screen legend.

The plot is simple, but the untyped handling is really beautiful and wonderful, and the characters are the same.

What the old cowboy went to find in order to kill was not the last blood relative, let alone the lost family, and in fact even the possession and the search themselves are ambiguous, the only certainty is that he is surrounded by various groups, but he is not loyal ( belong to) any of them.

The field is less and less, the group is more and more, Ethan is the last person in the cowboy race, and John Wayne plays it so perfectly.

Gentle and decisive, the dirge of the swan.

It's not bad to translate it into "Sunset Sands".

The family represented by Sarah is also a place that Ethan can't go back to

Beautiful view...

Streamlined narrative, strong script

It turns out that this is Natalie Wood...the old-fashioned me

the door is closed
