When I look at No Country for Old Men, I feel like a cold painting. The paint is simple and rough, the brushstrokes are sharp and decisive, and the picture is thick and cold, presenting a cold and absurd black world, which makes the audience excited and silent.
Later, I watched Drunk Country Ballads again, and it felt like the title itself, like a slow American country tune, with clear and fresh melody, warm and comfortable tunes, and suitable shades of emotion. It restored the American country music before the heyday. That gray time was full of sadness and helplessness, but it sometimes revealed the light of hope. After watching the whole film and listening to the whole song, you seemed to be able to see the splendid brilliance after that, full of comfort.
The one I watched later was Frozen Blood, a true story. Based on the restoration of the real case, the Coen brothers also gave the human trial system they established alone. Selfishness, arrogance, greed, lies, and killings will all be punished. Corresponding punishment (a little taste of the seven deadly sins). It restores the brutality and bloodshed of the real case, and at the same time makes people think deeply that the weakness of human nature is more terrifying than the direct crime.
Until I watched Thunderbolt this time, I seemed to see some pictures that the Coen brothers wanted to describe, and heard a hint of the sound that the Coen brothers wanted to make. The Western-style movie that should have been bloody and violent, has more detail in the Coen brothers' narrative. The softness, there is a touch of melancholy, and there is also a subtle and unspeakable moving. The plot, pictures and music are all very exciting. In the contrast between the delicate softness and the rough style, the three protagonists are subtle and expressive. changing interrelationships. It can be seen that the two brothers who were born in the era of prancing horse westerns are full of indelible feelings for westerns, full of tribute and inheritance, a kind of unforgettable feeling, and a spirit of inheritance.
Really can't help but love Cohen, their story and the way they tell it, the grim humour and the seriousness of Black Judgment. Full of quiet and majestic power.
