good times ever

Ten years later, I rewatched "Thunderbolt", and the soundtrack that I didn't notice before is really beautiful, especially the piano solo of Little Dark Horse. As an adult, Mattie told the old sheriff that we had good times, too. Removing from the society in front of us, it seems that it has become a good time before. Repeated epidemics, bustling flies, and the re-emergence of the Taliban... The world is back in the arms of idiots. Like the Coen brothers' description of the world, chance, absurdity, and uncertainty are normal. Now we have lost Mattie's firm belief in avenging her father, the courage of "Big Cock" to kill all the idiots, and not even the luck of Lucky Ned Pepper. The hero has long since ended, and the night is rampant. Can we see the light of hope in times of despair like Colburn and Mattie on horseback?

    A retro and innovative western movie! As a western film, it is full of black humorous verbal warfare, and anti-traditional elements of feminization and de-heroism, but the spirit throughout the film can still maintain the fearlessness of the western style. In addition to the wonderful performance of the actors, Roger Deakins, the old partner of the Coen brothers, his photography and mirroring is the soul of the film.

    It's the most tender movie of the Coen brothers I've ever seen. The ten-minute ending of the film, Old Jeff's heartfelt "I'm old" is really teary... the ending song "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" sounded, and the emotions continued. Last time The same feeling is still the ending theme of "Brokeback Mountain"...very good, very good.
