The synopsis of the film's story is "I am about to grow old and sunset, but the protagonist who was once a villain and now deeply hates his own unbearable past, because of an accidental opportunity, for the sake of his family's livelihood, he wants to come out again and do the last vote.

At the end of the film, although the protagonist sacrificed his friend at the end, he also achieved his goal unexpectedly, saved himself, retired, and spent his old age in peace. This kind of arrangement makes me feel that it is not only against the routine of Hollywood type film stories, but also the deeper meaning is to sing the last elegy for the glory of the old Western films...
