This is a tribute to an era. In the western United States, where the Civil War just ended in the 1870s, the vast land was sparsely populated, the laws were not perfect, and the wasteland was full of wanted criminals, old sheriffs and rewarders. Golden Hunter. It was also at that time that 14-year-old Ross, after his father was killed along with many others there, decided to embark on the road of seeking revenge, and traveled several states with the old sheriff who was addicted to alcoholism and had a sense of justice. bounty hunters. In the process, they encountered all kinds of people and things that only appeared there in that era. All kinds of memories, bitter or sweet, in the end Ross killed the enemy who killed his father and paid the price of an arm. The old sheriff was so tired that he felt that he was really old.
The era of the American cowboy is gone, and the Wild West, which has suffered countless gunfights, duels, and happy feuds, is destined to not appear for the second time on the earth.
The appearance of the man hanging from the tree and the bear-headed dentist in the process of chasing the murderer is indeed very Cohen, which makes people feel a little absurd, but it is in line with the characteristics of that era. The brother-in-law, who just won the Oscar the year before, played a typical old western sheriff in a three-dimensional manner. The heroine who appeared on the big screen for the first time was also very courageous and determined. The cute bounty hunter did not see it at all. His face shape suits the villain (Nolan: get). The film is generally very delicate (?), the Coen brothers are very good at writing and directing, the soundtrack and photography are very suitable for the scene, and it seems that there is a feeling of crying if I go to more brushes. It's a pity that this Oscar nominated ten awards and didn't win one (some four old people and over 300 years old raised their heads)
True Grit is probably the most just and admirable value in that environment. Bounty hunters run thousands of miles for months, the old sheriff defends justice with one enemy and four, and the lost father and girl are not afraid of hardships and dangers to pursue the murderer. Only in the wasteland of the west can true courage shine the brightest light of humanity, and it is precisely because it has only the time of this era that its light is even more dazzling.
