French director Jacques Odia’s 2018 works, I just finished watching it. It’s quite interesting, just a few words. 1. The English title The Sisters Brothers means sisters and brothers. The domestic films are obviously transliterated, why not use free translation? I am afraid that someone will misunderstand it, thinking it is the Niang Pao brothers, but in fact, this is a Western movie. The two brothers have big beards and they are not mothers at all. 2. "The Sisters Brothers" is the name of the brothers in the arena. Why do they have such a name? It is not explained in the film. Maybe the director is for funny purposes. If it is translated into Brother Overlord Flower in China, it may be possible, haha. 3. This film should belong to the warmth of the western film, two brothers and one drama. 4. There are a lot of story lines in this drama, brother line, mother-child line, friend line, men's and women's line, and entrepreneurial line. It is mainly a chemist who wanted to bring a few people to create a new harmonious society in the western United States. Unfortunately, the lofty ambitions are not paid. By the way, there is another line of fortune for the gold prospectors, and the above are five bright lines. 5. The commander gave the brothers a killing order. The father of alcoholism is the eternal pain of the brothers. These are two dark lines. 6. At the end of the story, the brothers return to their homes and their mothers, their spirits are redeemed, and the play ends. In the future, mother and son will lead a rural life, right? The ancient road is westerly and thin horses, and there are people with small bridges and flowing water. Maybe this is the case. Anyway, they killed the mayor halfway and grabbed a lot of money. There are still a lot of gold scoured. They are not bad for money. 7. This ending is not very western!

    The Histors Brothers, which traveled in the western world of the 18th century, is obviously a metaphor for every homeless person living in a postmodern society. Accompanied by reason and emotion, cruelty and tenderness, ideal and disillusionment, the two brothers traveled through a whole history of modern human civilization. As a result, the "future" before them was the death of history. This absurd, ironic and disappointing ending finally makes those adventures that belong to "people" completely meaningless, so the end of this long journey can only be the beginning. At the end of the idyll, what we hear is not the Ballad of Buster but the nostalgia floating in the wind. When Dupin the Wandering was exhausted, Audia's long shot pulled them into a sweet dream again.

    Jacques Odía used Gaspar No’s photographer Benoit Debbie to express the theme of affection in warm and cold colors. The photographer of Noro is indeed very sensitive. In such a low-light film, the light It is also a very important narrative tool. Watching these people who usually make European art films come to Hollywood to shoot typographical things. It is a strange look. On the surface, it is very Hollywood, but in fact it is still very European. Just like this western road movie, the result is still the director’s past. The anti-type and anti-climactic treatment has turned the wildness and violence in the west into delicate warmth. Violence is no longer the focus, but the killer's interest in modern civilization has begun to show signs, and even suddenly want to span a utopian society. As for what the director wants to talk about is this modern civilization rebuilding the order of the ancient west, this is purely the director's own opinion, his expression, this thing is not new at all. However, after breaking the routine of Western movies, shooting the Western killers as modern people. The actors use modern acting methods to shoot daily details. These are a bit interesting in Western movies, and of course they are not new.
