As a Western movie, it can be said to be full of highlights. In addition to having the characteristics of general Western movies such as violence, disorder, and barbarism, the diverse and complex background also adds to the drama. The Civil War, racial discrimination, and the pioneering of the west, Immigration waves... Various factors are intertwined and run through the construction of the railway.
The first impression the hero gave me was sloppy. After watching a few episodes, I began to think it was so natural. The war destroyed his biggest capital, the plantation manor. This is a microcosm of southern society after the Civil War. He was before the war. Being in the "squire class", the war left him with nothing. Not only did he lose his favorable living conditions, his family was also fragmented. Although he would not become the bottom of the society, he had to associate with these people and "mixed" among them.
Lily’s setting is in line with Durant’s image of "Blond Maiden of West". In such a chaotic and disorderly environment, it is difficult for people of her background to gain a foothold. In the end, she has to commit herself to others and endure those haircuts. I hate the nasty and discord from the bottom of my heart, because she has no power to change all of this. She tried to cooperate with Durant to make new changes, but she was powerless again and again. In addition to being a weak woman, it is more cruel in this western world. The law of survival still dominates everything.
Durant’s image is in line with the style of capitalists. It reveals its profitability everywhere. It hopes to show its ambitions and ambitions on this land. Everything is to ensure that the railway continues to advance. It is entangled with Washington politicians. The contradictions of the railway workers and the conflicts with other coveted railway careerists...These did not allow him to enjoy the treatment and protection that his status and status deserved. On the contrary, he brushed past the god of death again and again, making him People are gratified that the barbarism on this land did not make him retreat, even if it is ambition, but it cannot be denied that it is his persistence that makes the "wheel of hell" continue to roll forward, no matter how much blood is laid in front of him. And bones.
Through the two roles of Elam and Eva, you can get a glimpse of the living conditions of people at the bottom of society. Elam’s resistance to color discrimination is concentrated in two places, brothels and taverns, and step by step strives for his status. In the end, he won more than just It is the "pass" of these two places, but instead of struggling for survival like other people, starting to focus on planning for their future life and family, I have to say that this is a huge change, but the surrounding environment is also It is destined that this attempt may end without disease; Eva is another strong female representative besides Lily. At first, she can be understood as just an attachment to this unexplained railway, attached to this, tortured but still living hard, but The injustice of fate did not make her choose to fall, but to keep going.
Next, let’s talk about the two Irish brothers. They are representatives of the immigrant population. They have a dream of getting rich. They choose to immigrate and come to the west. From being controlled by others to adapting to the rules, they finally seek their own way of survival.
As for the Norwegian, who is always mistaken for the Swedes, apart from the word "weird", I don't know what to say...
Passing through hell and heading for civilization, this evolutionary process is always barbaric.
