      western legend

      I remember that when I was young, some Western movies were often shown on TV, and there was also a craze for watching Western movies. I loved watching such movies at that time. Later, I watched a lot of movies, and I also watched a lot of this kind of themes. I summed up the most classic one and I have to recommend this one. It should be said that this series of "Red Dead Trilogy" series.

      Movie Review: Red Dead Redemption

      The plot of the little person constantly negotiating between the two forces has appeared in countless literary and artistic works, and the wonderful first half of the film is also based on this content. It's a pity that in the second half, it evolved into a lone gunner to challenge a strong enemy, and the level dropped greatly. Acting skills need to be precipitated. Clint Eastwood's cold humor was still interesting, but in terms of performance, it was far worse than his own performance in...

      Worst in the Red Dead series

      1. The beginning of the movie is very good, why did the child run to the opposite room and came back crying. However, the mother played by Marisol did not show any remorse for her son, but showed her teasing to the handsome Joe who came from afar.
      2. The classic of the Red Dead series lies in the beautiful background music and the handsome Clint Eastwood.
      3.Joe played a shit stick throughout the movie, stirring it up.

      Mediocrity after intertextuality and intertextuality

      From the lineup of screenwriters, we can know that the artistic and box office success achieved in "The Stick of Heart" has turned into a comeback. Akira Kurosawa has always used Japanese culture and samurai ronin as the body to interpret American westerns. Stylized, and this film returns to the characteristics of Westerns. Of course, the scene is a small town in Mexico, and the same story is presented in a fixed space... It can be said that Akira Kurosawa is an intertext for Westerns. Then...

      aka: Good deeds done by a sowing cowboy

      Hehe, just compare it with Kurosawa's original work: the

      music is very similar, let's whistle, the wind is cool and frivolous with the sound of a

      new bottle of old wine, the end of the curtain is replaced by the western, the successful adaptation, the samurai sword is replaced by a pistol, Long guns, the roaring horses of western cowboys, and set as the border between the United States and Mexico, introduced a third-party interference factor that the government cavalry...

    Piercing lens

    In the first shootout scene in the film, Joe managed to kill three opponents, but the gun was not aimed at them.
    In a panoramic shot, the photographer captured the remains of Tabernas Castle, which shows that the film was shot in Andalucia, Spain, not the border between the United States and Mexico as described in the film.
    After the first shootout of the film was over, the posture of the "corpse" on the far right changed several....

    Background creation

    In the film planning stage, the director Sergio insisted on asking Henry Fonda to play the role of Joe the Lonely Gunner, but the film's production company could not pay the film's remuneration for Henry Fonda, who was already well-known in Hollywood at the time, and Sergio had to give up. His second candidate was Charles Bronson, who had starred in business cards such as "The Great Escape" and "The Heroic Seven Dragons", but Bronson...

    Evaluation action

    "Red Dead Redemption" reinvented Western films and brought Clint Eastwood to the world. It also opened a new genre: Italian Westerns. Perhaps the most memorable feature of this movie is Mr. Higashiki's close-up shots, those blood-stirring gun battles and Morricone's very unique soundtrack. The film is remake of Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece "Intentional Stick", although Sergio Leon moved the story from Japan to Italy, replacing the...

    Movie quotes

    • Baxter gunman #1: [to Joe] Well, I suppose you could try getting a job as a scarecrow.

      Baxter Gunman 2: No, the crows are liable to scare him maybe.

    • Joe: Baxter's over there, Rojo's there, me right smack in the middle.

      Silvanito: If you are thinking what I suspect, I tell you, don't try it!

      Joe: Crazy bell-ringer was right. There's money to be made in these parts.

      [after a pause]

      Joe: Which of the two is stronger?

      Silvanito: Which of them is stronger? Well... the Rojos. Especially Ramon.

    • Silvanito: [Joe asks who Marisol is] She is a woman. And Ramon is madly in love with her.

      Joe: Everyone talks about Ramon. Kind of curious to meet him.

      Silvanito: If you are smart, you will stay clear of Ramon for as long as possible!
