Say three things: humor, music, and anti-war.
I read an article interviewing Director Lai before, and I thought he was a cute fat man who was arrogant and outspoken. In it, he described Uncle Dongmu as a stone. But at that time, I had only watched "Once Upon a Time in America" and could not appreciate his own sense of humor at all. I recently watched the Red Dead series and found that the humorous elements of the film are also progressive. "Red Dead Redemption" has no humor at all, "Red Dead Redemption" has already begun to take shape, and "Red Dead Redemption" is really interesting. Director Lei's humor is really present in Tuco. Especially his golden line "When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk" and the classic "Loop" ending. I like the role of Tuco so much, I think of Juan in "Revolutionary Past".
Morricone's music is amazing, there are the classic horse-racing shooting songs in Red Dead Redemption, and the pathetic and emotional melodies in the Past series, especially "Golden Ecstasy", really yyds!
The film is nearly three hours long, which is already beyond the scope of Western films. Director Lai uses a lot of space to describe the war, especially in sad hill. It seems that Tuco is struggling to find gold coins, but it is actually a mourning for the soldiers who died tragically. The two lieutenants of the Union Army were also very upright, one did not allow torture of prisoners of war, and the other hated war.
The end of the Red Dead series is also a masterpiece!
