Secondly, the good does not mean a good person, but a "good person". That guy Brandy is definitely not a good person. First, he caught the wanted villain Duke, but conspired with him to earn bounties many times, instead of letting him go because the bounty was not enough. Later, he terminated the cooperation with the villain Duke because he thought that his bounty was not high and could not deceive much money, so he found another wanted criminal and cooperated with him to defraud the bounty, which also led to the partner being hanged. Could this be a good person?
Second, in the final duel, he was not an upright gun-fighting at all, but did some tricks in advance. This is ugly and sinister and despicable. Can he be considered a good person?
Third, when the bridge was bombed, the "good guy" and the villain agreed to tell the other half of the secret. The villain told the truth, but the "good guy" deceived the villain. This good guy is even smaller than the villain. . .
Fourth, this guy is sadistic. He abused the villain twice, but the villain only abused him once, still in revenge. Does that make him a "good guy"? ?
So, this guy is not a good person at all, he just pretends to be a good person. A bad person never hides his badness for survival and profit. A villain never cares what is good or bad because of survival and profit. A good person is always pretending to be a good person even for survival and profit. Good people, bad people, villains, they are actually a kind of people, neither good nor bad in the environment without laws and order in the west.
It is precisely because of this that the "good guys" will win the final duel. This is what the director wants to express. In the western environment where there is no law and only iron and blood, it is difficult to have really good people. Everyone is for survival and interests. . The pursuit of nihilistic justice is a joke, and it takes the wise to adapt to the wild west. This isn't the traditional "good triumphs over evil" old-fashioned western! And it also brought a little bit of irony and black humor, didn't you see it? Shoot and shoot, don`t talk more. Hahaha.
However, the "good guy" in the whole film got better twice, once when he helped the North Army to blow up the bridge, and once when he finally fulfilled the agreement after teasing the villain and left him half of the treasure.
