William has changed in love and family, from a drunken gangster to a kind peasant who can't ride a horse for a long time. But forced to make a living, and also because of the invitation of the old man's son, he picked up the revolver and rifle again. Although he already hated killing, this time he heard the target's crime and hardened his heart. This film shatters the myth of the traditional western that people long for. The disfigurement has been added to the stigma and turned into sadism. The deeds of the legendary English Bob of a dozen or seven are all fabricated. It should have been the unselfish sheriff who was punished too lightly in order to calm things down, but imposed severe sentences on those who violated his ideas. , the former fierce killer behaved like a coward to the sheriff who made trouble for him when he had a fever, the "thug" wanted by a prostitute would cry when he was shot and beg for mercy, the little cowboy who said he had killed five people was actually It's also bragging. After killing the first person, I'm extremely scared. I drink and cry. There will still be people like him, just like Xie Xiaofeng in "The Sword of the Three Young Masters", there are still young people after cutting off his thumb. I want to challenge him. At the end, William came to the pub alone, killed the sheriff and police officers and the unarmed boss who wanted to shoot him in front of everyone, and announced loudly that he was here for revenge before leaving, if anyone dared to come in the future. Bullying prostitutes, he will come, and then ride away in the rainy night, those who want to attack him dare not kill him after listening to his words, the prostitutes also come out to watch, he left another legend. But I believe that he will never be a murderer of women and children, maybe he was, and he is definitely not now. There are slow-paced guitar songs at the beginning and end of the credits, which may confirm William's mood. I don't know why I remembered MacArthur's words, veterans never die, they just fade away.
