Character analysis (mark it, think of it in the future and then complete it)

The narrative style is implicit and concise, similar to the charm of Chinese ink painting, with more white space, emphasizing charm rather than similarity. Allie's character nature actually laid the groundwork when he appeared on the scene, that is, through the mouth of Virgil, "there are few single women here who are not prostitutes." Because in the west at that time, women either married and had a way to survive, or they could easily eat and wear as a prostitute, and it was true that they would not marry or be a prostitute and survive in the west where robbers were frequent. difficult. However, if you marry, your husband may decline or die; there is no freedom or status to be a chicken. So Allie's greatness is reflected. She combined these two ways and then took the advantages to the disadvantages and created the third way-a high-level prostitute. "Prostitutes" still rely on selling sex in exchange for survival. "Senior" is embodied in buying an ordinary prostitute, with money; buying her, with status. She only sells herself to the dominant male in the social group. When she chooses Virgil, Virgil is the number one in the town. When she chooses Everett, Everett is the number two in the town. When she chooses Ring, she is the leader of a group of four. When she chooses Bragg, Bragg is the leader of a group of four. He was the person with the highest status in the town at that time. It seems that she is unfaithful to follow every man, but in fact she is loyal, but it is not someone she loyally follows, but the position that can give her safety and security.

Virgil is strong on the outside. He is old on the outside, but he is an immature boy on the inside. There are two obvious manifestations. One is that Allie uses his lack of emotional experience to suppress him, and he immediately breaks down and loses control of his behavior; the other is that after Bragg finds a backer to crush him, he immediately yielded and easily gave up what he had always insisted on. Justice, but also indulged in love knowingly is false. He said that he and Ring are better than Everett because of his insensitivity, but the most emotional in the film is himself.

Everett is restrained and low-key, a justice knight with a clear handle.

    I suspect that Nolan chose him to be the protagonist of Westworld after watching Ed Harris here. He can show a calm temperament in that big top hat. I never imagined that a Western could be so emotionally delicate, and for this unexpected ending, more than one star.

Appaloosa quotes

  • [after a shoot-out]

    Everett Hitch: That was quick.

    Virgil Cole: Yeah, everybody could shoot.

  • Everett Hitch: [narrating] Like my father, I'd been West Point, and I was good at soldiering. But soldiering didn't allow for much expansion of the soul. So after the War Between the States and a year of fighting Indians, I turned in my commission and rode away to see how much I could expand it. First time I met Virgil Cole was when I and my eight-gauge backed him up in a showdown he was having with some drunken mountain men. Virgil asked me right there on the spot if I'd care to partner up with him and his peacekeeping business. Which is why I was with him now, and why I still carry the eight-gauge. We'd been keeping the peace together for the last dozen years or so. And as we looked down on a town called Appaloosa, I had no reason to doubt we'd be doing just that for the foreseeable future.

    Everett Hitch: But life has a way of making the foreseeable that which never happens, and the unforeseeable that which your life becomes.
