I heard about the name "The Bad and the Bad" for a long time, and I saw the name again when I was free to browse the IMDB movie list in the afternoon, so I came to see it on a whim.
The music at the beginning of the movie sounds very familiar, as if it has been heard in many different film and television works, but it fits very well with the desolate main tone of this movie, as if it took me from the computer to the cowboys of the American West all at once. The world, the beer hall, the revolvers, the rocks and the goshawks paint a majestic picture of mountains and rivers in my mind.
The first protagonist to appear is Du Ke. He was assassinated by three cowboys and hurriedly broke through the window to escape. The opening chapter showed the cruelty of the western world, full of vendettas and wasteful lives. It should also ask the audience to be mentally prepared. To be honest, I originally thought that these three were the three protagonists on the poster. With those resolute eyes and slow pace, they should be the protagonists at first glance.
Then there is the plot of Angel Eye performing the task of the employer. The first time I saw him, I somehow thought of Captain Bai Ruid in "Gone with the Wind", and intuitively he should also be a rebellious character who regards morality as dung.
In the end, the blond boy made his debut, and he also shot three people in a row, and it was really handsome that he suddenly shot from the pocket of his coat. The face that looks exactly like Beckham and the marksmanship of Baibu Chuanyang left a deep impression on people.
About 1 hour after the movie officially entered the main line, it is relatively slow. The three heroes started a life-and-death struggle for 200,000 US dollars of gold coins. They have different personalities, but they are all smart, cautious, and calculating with each other. In the duel again and again, their images have gradually become fuller. The blond boy is the image of a typical western hero, strong, brave, and wise, and cleverly uses the clues he has to contain the other two, so as to be invincible; the angel eye is a typical image of a bad guy, who is a killer and kills his employer. Corruption in the army, playing tricks to plot against the blond boy, but was found out; Du Ke should be a relatively complicated character, and the film depicts him in more details. , it is really a retribution, but he has shown a tender side to his brother whom he has not seen for many years, and is willing to risk his life to blow up the bridge for the captain's dream (although there are also factors that facilitate treasure hunting), his extreme desire for treasure is beyond words. , thus contributing to us the famous scene of running from the grave. This scene gave me an impact very much like the picture of Monkey King running on the beach after the Monkey King was born.
The confrontation of the last three people is a unique classic masterpiece in the entire film history. The tense and majestic soundtrack and the close-up of the three people's eyes and hand movements pushed the atmosphere to the climax. Who will win in the end? Everyone will sweat it in their hearts. Even if they hit the target, they are very likely to be hit by a third person. Such mutual checks and balances are extremely fragile, and any disturbance can cause the taut strings to break, turning them into bullets fired at the enemy, with no return.
Regarding this film, I feel that there are two points of fly in the ointment. First, it is a little slower to enter the main line. Second, it may be influenced by the times. Although the fragments of the war express the theme of anti-war, this is very good, but it seems to be related to the whole. The style of the movie is a bit out of tune, and in general a bit abrupt. I still have a little doubt, why didn't Angel Eye kill Duke after knowing his secret? Including the final decisive battle, it is completely possible to kill Du Ke first, and then deal with the blond boy.
