The thief also has the way, the chivalrous person is benevolent

Doomsday Western. In fact, there are many similarities between American Westerns and Chinese Jianghu novels, the same joy and enmity, and the same heart desire.

Legend has it that there was a big thief in the west, who burned, killed and abused, and was addicted to alcohol. But one day, a daughter of a big family, despite the strong opposition of the elders in the family, married him without hesitation and accompanies him to wander the world. The young lady's mother broke off the mother-daughter relationship and never communicated with each other again. But what the mother didn't know was that her daughter did not die at the hands of the thieves, but died of illness in a foreign country, and left a pair of sons and daughters and a prodigal son who could not exchange money for the thief to live in the wild country.

Combined with what William Manny did in the movie, and the baseless incidents we often encounter around us, it's not hard to see that Manny's notoriety should be a rumor made by enemies and people who fear him. Otherwise, no matter how much a wicked person quits drinking and fights against good deeds, he will never take a bounty and come out again in order to earn a few hundred dollars. I believe that the target of the bounty is to bully prostitutes and harm innocent hooligans, who are still at large. , and the righteous indignation from the heart. The soul-stirring single-handedly going to the meeting at the end of the film also highlights the foundation of Manny's chivalry for his brother's death. He only loves his deceased wife in his life, and is not moved by beauty. He is a true gentleman. So I think William Manny should be a Robin Hood-esque knight in Westworld.

Looking at Little Bill, he has also fought in the bloody storms of Westworld. Now he has transformed into a small town sheriff's uniform. He has countless police officers, and he holds and represents the absolute authority of this small town's justice. In the words of Judge Jude It means "I am the law"! But does his law enforcement really represent fairness and justice? no! When a prostitute in the town was seriously injured by a drunken thug, he excused himself as a prostitute, easily let go of the perpetrator, and paid the compensation to the hotel owner who deducted the prostitute, his old friend. When the prostitutes released a reward for revenge, and the bounty hunters came to hear the news, he still put his absolute authority as the first, regardless of indiscriminate, and then killed the chickens to show the monkeys. In front of tabloid reporters, he tried his best to belittle others and elevate himself, showing his arrogant and arrogant distortion. After catching Manny's old friend Ned, he was lynched to extract a confession. As a result, Ned, who didn't kill anyone, was beaten to death and hung his body outside the bar.

In addition, this film also hides the profound connotation of the rise of feminism and anti-violence. Don't think that women are easy to bully, and don't think that big fists are justified.
