Human Redemption in the West

The French trailer was cut into a beautiful western, completely unrelated to the plot. I didn't have much hope of entering the theater, but I saw the label of the film festival.

The opening shootout, editing and soundtrack surprised me, with the rhythm of a retro western film, but the shots and lines often make people laugh, and the unexpected plot trends that are unpredictable are also very French movie style. . On the way home, I pondered about the wind meal, the poisonous spider, the gunfight that could kill them at any time, all of which are their price. The director designed the sudden death plot of Morris and Hermann, the broken hand plot of the younger brother Charlie, and the death of the old horse, the elder brother Eli, who depended on each other for life. , That is a kind of redemption for them (well, it is still difficult for us to get the sacrifices, redemption concepts and feelings of Westerners). The brothers finally let go of their obsession with gold, returned to their hometown, and curled up on their rough and warm bed, which should be the most practical and comfortable scene in the whole film. It seems that at the end of the film, it falls into the cliché of a big harmonious family and American reunion, but whether it is gold rush, Silicon Valley, Wall Street, AI, VR, it seems that people in contemporary society and modern society still have not gotten rid of the issue of material desires. In terms of rivers and lakes, it is the same in the west. (Unfortunately, there have been no good martial arts movies for a long time.)

  • Eli Sisters: Charlie, when you kill a man, you end up with his father or his friends on your tail. It usually ends badly.

  • Charlie Sisters: You do realize that our father was stark raving mad and we got his foul blood in our veins? That was his gift to us. That blood is why we're good at what we do.

    Eli Sisters: Our father drank, Charlie.

    Charlie Sisters: Touché.
