This is the first time Kevin Costner has played the role of a villain, but his gangster image is quite decent, especially showing his star charm. And Clint Eastwood used a relatively low-key performance to set off Costner, so the whole film is more literary than popular action.
"A Perfect World" is a self-directed and self-acted work by Clint Eastwood. The film breaks through the rigid traditional mode of general robber movies. It focuses on discovering the multi-faceted character connotation of the characters, and creates multiple three-dimensional characters. The film is set in Texas in the 1960s, full of warmth but ended in tragedy.
"A Perfect World" complexly interweaves the characteristic elements of road films, western films and robber films, and has more artistic tension because of its thought-provoking social, moral, and educational ideological connotations.
