Are all things really unforgivable?

Keyshawn 2022-04-22 07:01:02

A very different western film, subverting the inherent routine without losing the soul of a western film. The whole plot is full of tension, the role of the cowboy is very three-dimensional, and it has a sense of story about the dying hero. There are dead people in the film. , but which one is the "bad guy", which one is the "good guy", and which one is the damned one? Even the worst is just a peasant who acts violently on prostitutes on a whim. There is no answer at all in the film. What is justice? What is good and what is evil, in a violent world, there is no moral meaning, and acting as a chivalrous person is just a lie, and the final outcome is even more pathetic and sentimental.
