Leonardo is suitable for this kind of tragic role, but he likes to talk. In this movie, he basically doesn't talk, he eats everything, and eats everything he can, just to survive. But the so-called survival is not for survival, but very romantic, for revenge. All the dog fighting, eating live fish and dead cows, teaming up with Indians, and rescuing Indian women are all very romantic road movie routines.
It seems that Leonardo is suffocated, acting very hard, gnashing his teeth, but can't speak. To say that the characteristics of Western movies are that there are few words, everyone rarely speaks, and everything is in the sound of gunfire.
The other is dirty. Everyone is leather sand, wind and sleep, no one can live a good life. What is needed here is not the grace of civilization, but the fairness of blood. Killing for life is justified. The most terrifying thing is the unyielding spirit. To say that the most impressive thing in it is the Polly who killed his whole family and went to the east to find a partner. His face was pale, he ate raw beef, gave blood all over his mouth, and was full of righteousness. The most interesting thing was the spotted horse, which always felt that it did not match its calm personality. But maybe it's to highlight the romance, and from his deep affection for his lover, it can be seen that he is a romantic person.
Romantically there is another Indian father. Relatively speaking, Xiao Lizi's performance is not very good, and the villain, the selfish atheist, is actually very ordinary. The others were not outstanding, and that group of captains finally went to the mountains and disappeared, and they did not say his ending. The harshness of the natural environment does not manifest itself in this way.
In general, this should be better made into a documentary, but there are too many poetic scenes at the moment, and even if it is bloody, it can be seen that it is not very dirty. Violence is very intuitive, but it always feels too beautiful, and real violence is ugly. The work uses a lot of panning shots, but I still prefer hand-cranking, which is more realistic. However, the west is also atmospheric, and I feel that it is not suitable for shooting with hand-cranking.
Americans, one black, one Indian, two kinds of people, have always dragged America into an era of romanticism.
