A new crown is not good, and there is an old captain

It seems that Tom Hanks's new crown is good. Returning as always, playing the best good guy non-stop. Save the little girl, send the little girl off. Spread the message of civilization in the wild west. It's like a prequel to The Washington Post. The acting is okay, the art is okay, and the photography is okay. It's just that Tom Hanks doesn't look like an actor with a western feel. How can there be such a good person at such a time, it is precisely this kind of personal feeling that belongs to Tom Hanks, which is not in line with the logic of the time. When it comes to the comparison of Western films, it reminds me of "Send to the Countryman". Compared with it, it is really a little weak. This kind of power is due to the rhythm and content of the script. For example, there is no task and no money, and it is all learning from Lei Feng. One is the dissolution of the incidental power from the good guy Tom Hanks. To put it bluntly, the source of motivation for such a good person is not so convincing.

Then he killed the traffickers all the way, went to the warlord town and offended the abbot and wanted to leave. The horse is dead and doesn't even cut any meat. This kind of detail setting is hard to accept. (After "The Wilderness Hunter", Westerns are all difficult.) In the end, his motives turned back to religious salvation, but the previous point did not mean that he was a believer, even if he brought a cross?

Nor can it be said that there is no merit. For example, in the sandstorm, the little girl guided him and brought back a horse. On the surface, he brought the lost orphan to find home, but in fact the little girl guided him. Mind, also found him a horse. This kind of externalized manifestation of the mind is still very good. Is it also a metaphor that the western spirit is actually inferior to the aboriginal culture. They are all liars, bandits and villains who go to other people's homes to burn, kill and looters. In the end, I became a talk show host, and everyone was very happy and full of fun.

    Western Cowboy Family Movie

    I actually saw the feeling of the American version of "One Second". Of course, it is essentially an American western adventure warmth film. The story of two homeless people looking for their home. The play is solid and the rhythm is extremely stable. It's similar to Tom Lee Jones' "Send the Countryman" a few years ago, rather than "Thunder in the Ground".
