About the ending

Some people think that the twist in the ending is too exaggerated and unreasonable, but it is not. When I watched it, I vaguely guessed it from Ben's decision to help Dan achieve his wish.

But trust me, this is no prodigal turning back.

In the hotel, Ben told Dan the story of being abandoned by his mother as a child, and when they arrived at the station, Dan told Ben that he was never a hero and that everything he did was for his son, including his life. Escort Ben to get angry.

He has never been a hero, but for the sake of his son, he must be one this time.

Ben had always admired Dan, and was naturally moved when he heard this. As he said before, bad people love their mothers too. He always believed in love in his heart.

Ben decides to make Dan's wish come true.

As for Dan, I actually think he must have started to understand Ben after hearing the story of Ben being abandoned as a child. And he knew and believed that Ben would be able to escape when he got to Yuma Prison.

In fact, it means that the two men understand each other and even sympathize with each other. Like Ben said before, before 3:10, they were a lot closer.

Finally, Ben got on the train, Dan did it, and became a hero in his son's eyes.

At this time, Ben's men killed Dan. Someone doesn't understand? ? In fact, it couldn't be more obvious.

They were stupid. They are dead. They were stupid
to ruin what Ben had done.

What's more, for a person like Ben Wade, his subordinates are nothing but tools, and he never has to worry about finding another gang.

In fact, in the robbery at the beginning of the movie, Ben shot and killed the kidnapped men. This foreshadowing is obvious. So there is no such thing as unreasonable endings. It might be a turn, but that's exactly what it does.

And finally Ben whistles and his horse catches up with the train. This scene is very touching and touching. It's like Ben told Dan at the train station that he went to Yuma twice and escaped twice. And this time, we can also be sure that Ben Wade can escape as well, and there will be many people who want to follow this legend. He will continue to ride that horse, carry that pistol, and live his robber career.



I just don't know if he can meet another person like Dan who is worthy of his appreciation. Maybe someone like Ben Wade is destined to be alone.
