I'm nobody.

Although I'm not very interested in westerns and I haven't watched a few of them, I'm still attracted by the self-interrogation of this green lizard.

Who am I?

Fundamental question of philosophy, Rango goes from a carefree little lizard in a bathtub, to hero Sheriff Rango with a lie, and finally to nobody. What he has experienced is not only the traditional adventure, failure, and discovery of turning points, but also the recognition of his own identity in this film. Rango is like a young man who has just stepped into the society. He has the ability to perform and is complacent about getting a small position for himself, but he does not know that behind the power is the disregard for life. What is even more terrifying is that when Lango saw all the truth, defeated the mayor, and won endless water for the residents, at the same time, he also knew that there is a power that is a hundred times stronger than the mayor and can never be resisted. Always there, just on the other side of the road, I don't know when the tentacles will come to this side of the road. He's just a powerless nobody who does his best to help everyone.

Everyone is unique, but when many uniques come together, they are no longer special. Accepting his ordinaryness is a major issue in life, but it does not mean that he has to spend his life mediocrely. Rango accepted his ordinaryness, so he went to the groundhog(?) family for help, and he accepted his ordinaryness , so I have to come back to save everyone as ordinary as myself and stop the mayor's plan for urban hegemony. A hero is not only a veteran who kills with a bullet, but an ordinary person who makes a difference.

Who am I?

I'm nobody.

(As for the reason for deducting one star, I am really disgusted by the bug)

Rango quotes

  • Maybelle: [annoyed] You've got a lot of nerve coming back here, lawman. What is it that you want?

    Rango: [dead serious] Yer pappy and them boys are gonna hang for something they didn't do.

    [pause]

    Rango: But I've got a plan...

  • Rango: [taken aback] Golden guardians... Alabaster chariot... The Spirit of the West!

    [to Spirit]

    Rango: Ahem... excuse me... Mister Spirit... sir?

    Spirit of the West: [eyeing a fish hook] Now there's a beaut. Sometimes you have to dig deep to find what you're looking for.

    [to Rango]

    Spirit of the West: So, you made it.

    Rango: Is this Heaven?

    Spirit of the West: If it were, we'd be eating Pop Tarts with Kim Novak.

    Rango: Yeah, ain't that the truth. What are you doing out here?

    Spirit of the West: Searching... same as you.

    Rango: [downhearted] I don't know what I'm looking for. I don't even know who I am.

    [brighter]

    Rango: They used to call you 'The Man with No Name'.

    Spirit of the West: Nowadays, they have a name for just about everything. Doesn't matter what they call you... it's the deeds that make the man.

    Rango: But my deeds just made everything worse. I'm a fake... a phony. My friends were counting on me. They were looking for some sort of hero.

    Spirit of the West: [emphatic] Then be a hero!

    Rango: [disbelief] Oh, no! No, no. I'm not even supposed to be out here.

    Spirit of the West: That's right. You came out here looking for something that didn't exist. But don't you see?

    [pause]

    Spirit of the West: It's not about you... it's about them.

    Rango: But I can't go back.

    Spirit of the West: Don't think you have a choice, son.

    [draws rectangle on windshield]

    Spirit of the West: No man can walk out of his own story.
