see again, move again

It's hard for me to love a movie so much.
Not to mention how many classics it pays homage to, nor what the spirit of the West really is.
The first time I saw this movie, I was quite young. I was stunned at the time. The scene rendering inside was too emotional, desert, scorching sun, empty glass bottle, squeaky rotating electric fan, flying sand, large The hour hand of the clock...
Now when I watch this movie again, I suddenly find that it is not only some beautiful crying pictures, but also something deeper. Countless foreshadowings, countless clever symbols. The most interesting thing is that after Rango and Bean were thrown into the bucket, the bullet spit out by Bean shattered the bucket and the two were eventually rescued. The bullet spit out of the mouth was still suspended in the water, and the speed was very slow, but when such a bullet hit the wall of the barrel, the water barrel cracked due to the water pressure above. Just like the mayor built the city after monopolizing the water source. It is beautiful and suddenly brilliant, but it bears too much weight of water, making the foundation vulnerable to a single blow. A small bullet, a small rango, can make this ambitious construction collapse.
This humble little chameleon is a legend.

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.
