It’s been a long time since "Godless" has watched such a good-looking pure western movie. It is a western drama worthy of a second brush. Although I want to abandon the movie for ten minutes, it is caused by my bad movie-watching habits and narrow acceptance ability. Fortunately, I didn't miss it.
The plot is very simple. A series of characters and stories led by the brutal Frank Griffin led 30 of his men to chase and kill the defector Roy Goode (the latter is also the adopted son of the former). In the series, the characters are laid out in layers, the background of the protagonist is revealed, and the action scenes are extremely restrained. Roy, the most dragging marksmanship in the whole drama, only draws his gun three times. Depressed, dull, and restrained emotions until the last moment, the scene exploded surprisingly, and the emotions spurted wanton.
The whole film is full of hormonal texture and artistic tension, trying to use violence, blood, tenderness, and kindness to interpret the propositions of despair and hope, faith and human nature. Frank is undoubtedly desperate. Although there is no direct account in the film, it can be seen from the details that Frank was also a devout Christian before. His childhood should be abandoned, abused and ignored... He adopted Roy and saw the little boy he used to be. ,he himself. Frank is complicated. He can kill all men, women, old and children in the town in order to find adopted children; he will also take care of dozens of smallpox patients and give them the final dignity at the risk of infection; he can force two passersby in the camp to dedicate his wives to bed. Roaring at the two husbands two days-don't you resist? ；Wake up the stunned companion in his sleep, but he is quiet in the hug of little Roy and the warm words of It’s okey....... Frank is tragic. He claims to be a god, and he can't escape the fate of the main god being killed by his father in Western dramas.
Roy has the same notorious existence as his adoptive father. There is no clear reason why Roy would turn back in the film. He thought it was because he abandoned the letter written by Roy's brother. Roy should resent his brother. The illiterate Roy lost the weapon of the bodyguard. , Throw away the greedy money, but always keep the letter by your side. When Roy learned how to read from the heroine and completed the series of self-salvation, it was time for Yiqi Juechen. The heroine reads the letters that appeared at the beginning and didn't open until the end, such as monologue, orchestra, western mangland, and solo ride. Everything ends at this moment, and everything starts at this moment.
"This is a paradise of locusts, lizards and snakes, a bloody world of swords and guns, this is a godless land."
