Use comedy to disintegrate the brutal and brutal violent tendencies of traditional westerns

Palme d'Or, French director Jacques Audiard's first English-language film, from the script to the characters to the visuals, permeates standard commercial vibes, albeit with a variety of anti-genre experiments under the guise of a classic western. If there are still some discussions and reflections on social real issues in "The Wandering Dipin", then this western can be said to be striding forward towards Oscar production, which is a bit out of tune with the art-led Venice competition films, and I personally feel that it should be in the non-competition unit. The show is more appropriate.

The director uses a humorous approach to portray the legendary brother killer and the two miners being hunted down. The convergence of the two sets of characters has a surprising effect, and the anti-climax design of the night gold rush is the most surprising to me. Audia's comedic approach to dismantling the brutish, violent tendencies of traditional westerns is an unexpected breakthrough. However, compared to many senior filmmakers, such as Hong Kong directors such as the Coen Brothers and To Qifeng, who are original and sharp innovations in this genre, the originality of this new work is not too fresh, including the ending of the return to the warm family. perception.

The only bright spot is probably John C. Reilly, a supporting actor who has been a gold medal for thousands of years. He can finally serve as the leading male lead. His performance is far better than the Cannes actor Joaquin Phoenix. I believe it is not only this year's The best actor in the film festival, and may also gain something at the Golden Globes or Oscars later.

The Sisters Brothers quotes

  • John Morris: I left my family out of hatred and that my father was the person I despised most in this world. I despised everything about him. I sincerely thought I had been freed of all that until tonight. Listening to you, what do I realize? That most of the things that I thought I'd been doing these past years, freely the opinions that I thought I had of my own volition were in fact dictated by my hatred towards that man. I'm 35 years old and my life is like an empty cylinder.

    Woman with the Bortsch: Borscht.

    Eli Sisters: I taste dill.

    Woman with the Bortsch: Borscht.
