For a long time in the past, our understanding of this kind of westerns, or shootout films, is that all kinds of fast shooters and all kinds of magical heroes are transmitted to each other by people, and it feels like a god.

But in fact, the real hero, including his speed and marksmanship, is very normal, including his life is also very ordinary, because he is first of all a person, he is not a god.

2. Those who are awesome never say that they are awesome, but those who are not awesome have to constantly send a signal to the outside world, saying what they have done.

As long as he is a good person, he knows a core logic: things are done, they are not spoken or operated.

Therefore, constantly emphasizing how awesome you are is often a manifestation of lack of confidence in your heart. .

3. A lot of people, they have forgotten a feeling of doing the career they love. When you don't touch those things that you once captured for a long time, you will not feel anything.

Your life will eventually be filled with a lot of this kind of firewood, rice, oil, salt, and trivial things, so a person, our ultimate value lies in that we have been doing those things that make our value come out, things we love , and finally make it the ultimate thing.

The same is true of any industry. We can see that Reid has actually forgotten how to kill people in the film, including that he may have forgotten what it is like to shoot.

4. The heroine's mother may still not understand until the end of the film why his daughter chooses a thief, but a murderer, as his lifelong partner.

In fact, after watching this film, we know that this man is very principled, he is also responsible, and he is very loyal to his wife.

Although these things are what we see on the surface, in fact, a large part of the reason why this person makes that woman choose to spend his life with him is that he is reliable.

What he said, he would do it, even if the young man who promised said he was going to kill, even if he encountered great difficulties, even if his partner was about to quit, he didn't say anything depressing, he still To finish this task.

And this is very rare in marriage. In fact, many men's responsibilities for the family in marriage are always more in words, and those who can really do it and put it into action are often very Less.

    Eastwood really has the ability to play the heinous villain to the point where your heart breaks and tears. This old cowboy has the best qualities of a man, forbearance, strength, loyalty and silence. I really liked the narration of the subtitles about William's wife at the beginning and end of the film. It's a very peaceful movie, but I never knew it turned out to be very sad. Full of heartfelt, nowhere to tell the sadness.

    [A] It’s hard to imagine that this time, Mr. Dongmu completely tore the heroic cowboy image in the "Fistiller Trilogy" decades ago, and instead created an extremely anti-type assassin, and used it to tell An extremely anti-routine western story. The killing scenes in the film are no longer chic, most of them reveal the cruelty hidden in the ordinary. In this way, Dongmu conveyed the core idea of ​​"anti-violence". I really admire the old man Dongmu, who can always take the stories of wicked people so forbearing and moving.
