Violence cannot counteract violence

Ophelia 2022-04-24 07:01:02

A story of a string of killings caused by a prostitute laughing at a cowboy dick being disfigured. Westerns are all about a lone ranger who bravely goes to the end of the world, beats the invincible player all over the world, acts recklessly, punishes evil and hoes. It is unforgivable, but it is a hero who is too late, Lian Po is old, and due to the poverty of his family, for the sake of a better life for the two children, he has re-entered the old way of being a killer. The road to re-entering the arena is not smooth. No blood, no duels, no beauties, screaming, worship. There is only helplessness, old age, lack of strength and deep fear and emptiness after killing people. Violence only causes violence and does not counteract violence.

    8.0/10 points. An avalanche error caused by an error. . . The most pitiful one was the peasant's companion who cut the prostitute, who did nothing wrong and died like that. . . I just watched this film after one or two of the Red Dead trilogy. It left me speechless. The cowboy who was wearing a big blanket and pretending to be over-the-top was so old that he even had a horse. Can't ride. . .

    After watching, I thought of those lonely samurai in old Japanese movies who will finally bid farewell to the times. In the end, the back of Yu Dongmu's departure, the brain fills up Morricone's soundtrack, with many emotions, the cowboy curtain calls, and the legend continues. The handsome pot wearing a blanket had traces of time, but his style remained unchanged. There is not an absolutely good person in the film, with blood on his hands, "Kill him, you will not only deprive him of everything, but also ruin his future." Even if you can’t get forgiveness from God, for the sake of life and friends, It can be solved by bullets and "punish evil with evil." Nowadays, I can no longer shoot a western film like this kind of old-fashioned film, which is very memorable. This literary play is more of a slower rhythm, it appears calm and restrained, and adds more profound and long-lasting meaning.

Unforgiven quotes

  • Ned Logan: Hell, Will. We ain't bad men no more. Shit, we're farmers.

    Will Munny: Should be easy killing them, supposing they don't go on down to Texas first.

    Ned Logan: How long has it been since you fired a gun at a man, Will? Nine, ten years?

    Will Munny: Eleven.

    Ned Logan: Easy, huh? Hell, I don't know that it was all that easy even back then. And we was young and full of beans. I mean, if you was mad at 'em, Will, I mean. If they'd done you some wrong, I could see shooting 'em.

    Will Munny: We done stuff for money before, Ned.

    Ned Logan: Yeah, we thought we did. All right, so what did these fellas do? Cheat at cards? Steal some strays? Spit on a rich fella? What?

    Will Munny: No, they cut up a woman.

    Ned Logan: What?

    Will Munny: Yeah, they cut up her face, cut her eyes out, cut her fingers off, cut her tits, everything but her cunty, I suppose.

    Ned Logan: I'll be dogg - Golly, I guess they got it comin'. 'Course, you know, Will, if Claudia was alive you wouldn't be doin' this.

  • Little Bill Daggett: Look son, being a good shot, being quick with a pistol, that don't do no harm, but it don't mean much next to being cool-headed. A man who will keep his head and not get rattled under fire, like as not, he'll kill ya.

    W.W. Beauchamp: But if the other fella is quicker, and fires first...

    Little Bill Daggett: Then he'll be hurrying, and he'll miss. Look here...

    [stands and draws his gun]

    Little Bill Daggett: That's about as fast as I can draw, and aim, and hit anything more than ten feet away... 'less it's a barn.

    W.W. Beauchamp: But if he doesn't miss?

    Little Bill Daggett: Then he'll kill ya.

    [chuckles]

    Little Bill Daggett: Yeah, that's why there's so few dangerous men around like old Bob, like me. It ain't so easy to shoot a man anyhow, especially if the son-of-a-bitch is shootin' back at you. I mean, that'll just flat rattle some folks.
