Good guys, bad guys, villains, movies define character traits in the form of flash-out subtitles, however, their personalities are by no means as simple as a single word. The "villain" has a cute and delicate side, the "bad guy" is cautious, has a mind and principles, and the "good guy" is a decisive, sometimes even ruthless person. Each of them is a complex individual, and the label-style positioning is just a mask for surviving in this wilderness.
As a Western film, gun battles are naturally the focus of the film's portrayal, which has to improve the director's superb shooting techniques. In addition to ruins, abandoned houses, these small spaces, and even in deserted streets, open cemeteries and other places with a wide view, the director can give the shootout a full sense of tension through proper scene scheduling. There is no dialogue, only eye contact, and after all kinds of complicated close-ups, the decisive battle is only a split second. The wonderful shootout greatly enhances the viewing experience of the film, and also completes a perfect interpretation of the cowboy spirit.
However, I personally think that the film also has a fly in the ointment. For example, the description of the Civil War is too frequent, which not only slows down the rhythm of the film, but also seems a bit overwhelming. However, despite the flaws, the film is still a masterpiece in film history.
