The quality of the characters is too clear. Lanson, Guangzhengwei young man, Valancey, do no evil, self-confident and even stupid, compared to Tom's image is much more three-dimensional, he has a complicated internal (rare and precious), and the final exit is also very man.

But there was a bug. In the end, Lanson didn't clarify that he was not the murderer (see the conductor's words), so he just removed the psychological barrier to killing people, and calmly stood up as a murderer and was elected as a representative and went to Washington? Can't understand.

Although it is not a head-to-head photography, there are still many things about American ideology. There is a lot of resistance, and the masses have shaped it. In a wild town in the west, the people are so nice and slightly outrageous; Lanson has shaped the land too far away. The masses, the first half, angular youths, dared to fight, this is excellent, but in the end, the confession about returning to the hometown, abandoning politics, and returning to Xingguo to open an office, is too outrageous.

Finally, when I am watching "Double", what am I expecting?

An American, remote, sand-filled history of western development, a simple personal hero story, no preaching, only violence (here pulled).

Basically in place.

When it comes to photography, the most important thing about black-and-white movies is its composition and the arrangement of light and shadow. Press the pause button, and every frame in "Double" is very poetic and story-like.

excellent.

Score a quarter, the ending is still very romantic.

    The film tells about the decline of traditional military power and the rise of a new political order, and then reveals the suspicion and contempt for politicians, the reluctance and pride for traditional power, and the helplessness of historical trends. There seems to be some kind of emotional outpouring of the director and the western movie itself, sigh.

    The decline of the western cowboy culture also symbolizes that the American West has moved from the rule of man to a higher level of the rule of law. John Ford's Westerns are still fascinating after so many years. The concept still applies to any corner of the world.
