At the beginning of the movie, in the tragic and bloody sunset, the thin and dilapidated stone house, the sad and silent swing, the lonely and contemplative clothesline, the lonely tree watching, a man silently digging a grave in the shadow of the sunset. In such a sad scene, the subtitles ask questions like the title. What magic does this man have, is he using violence to coerce beautiful women? Or some other unsuspecting means? Let's take a closer look at the footage of the 1880's Great Whiskey.
The man's name is Moni William. William's first appearance was in a stinky sty, where he was helplessly dragged to the ground by a stubborn pig, covered in mud. Is this the man who fascinates young women? The legendary killer that Kid Kufei heard about was such a bad old man? Yes, it is this vicissitudes of life and lonely man, a man domesticated by love. From the sensible son, the well-behaved daughter, and the clothes dancing on the clothesline, we can imagine the warm and idyllic life of the beloved woman when she was alive, quiet and warm. After the woman dies, the man still tries to keep this kind of life, but he obviously can't do it. Looking at the back of the boy Kufei riding his horse away, William knows how he should survive without the woman he loves. He can no longer rely on it. Washing, cooking, feeding pigs, the remnants of her life after her death, came to pay homage to her love and longing. After putting down a bunch of flowers for his wife, he believed that his wife would agree. He picked up the gun again, but he had not picked up the wine yet. Here it is stated - William is a true man.
The prostitutes, for their own dignity, their own personality, and for Sheriff Bill's unfair ruling, issued a hunting bounty for two cowboys who savagely ruined the scarred woman's appearance. The bounty hunter Bob, who deliberately displayed his precise marksmanship on the train, was brutally beaten by Bill and driven out of the town, intending to show Bill's tyranny, ferocity and strength. The psychological confrontation between Bill and Bob in the police station emphasizes Bill's calmness and bravery. As soon as William and his party arrived in town, William was beaten violently by Bill for carrying a weapon. He had no resistance, was seriously injured, and crawled out of the tavern in humiliation. William was not reckless, not as Kufei said, at least he should have drawn his gun. A man's temporary withdrawal is by no means cowardly. The impulsiveness and recklessness of defeat is a kind of heroic stupidity. A man who can swallow his anger, is not controlled by his emotions, and calmly responds to it is the real strong man. William, who was seriously ill, thought about death and his deceased wife in fear, and told that he was afraid of death and that he was going to die. What this is explaining, I think it is definitely not William's fear of death and weakness. The fear of death is the same. Whether it is a villain or a hero, this is the fundamental attribute of life. William is a real man and will also be afraid of death. But in the hail of bullets, William was able to face this fear, withstand it, and control it better. In the two hunts of the cowboys, Ned made it clear that he could no longer face it. After Kufe killed, drinking and crying, collapsed and gave up, all of which showed that William was truly brave and fearless.
So far, after expressing a man's true feelings and bravery, is this the whole reason why women are completely overwhelmed? no. After Ned was tortured to death, William, who seemed to have poor marksmanship and was old and weak, threw away the spirits bottle, stepped on the mud, and challenged the mighty Bill alone, as well as the group of armed men led by Bill, in the rainy night. This scene perfectly presents the true quality of a man conquering a woman. Let's see, bit by bit, what is this real quality? For the sake of his friends, William went to death alone to take revenge, this is loyalty; first shot the tavern owner, this is to eliminate violence; admitting that he is the thug who kills even women and children is not in vain; the gun is misfired, throw it directly, create a drawn gun Taking advantage of opportunities is a strategy; in the melee, there are squatting and hiding, the gun hits, this is decisive and calm; stepping on Bill, one shot in the head, no mercy, this is blood; when going out, let out ruthless words, this is Imposing; demanding a burial of Ned, demanding no more harm to prostitutes, in front of the American flag, shouting or I will come back, killing none of you, this is justice. All these qualities boiled down to the sturdy-faced man on horseback in the torrential rain who was drinking strong wine--the sturdy, straight-forward back figure--the dazzling justice in the eyes of the prostitutes and the desire of women Men - the force that completely deterred the stragglers - is the pride that the writer admires and admires, the hero he has really seen and deserves to write about, and this is the pride of a man to convince a woman.
At the end of the film, the same sunset, the dilapidated hut, the lonely tree, and the swing have disappeared. Along with the man, the lonely life in the wilderness on the clothesline has also disappeared forever. The mother still doesn't know why her beautiful daughter married such a violent, alcoholic and poor man, but after watching the movie, we know that it is the man's true feelings and pride. I am more gratified and appreciated that this woman values this real man, and I am also glad that this man who lost his wife and avenged his friends has a comfortable life.
