      Hell Or High Water--HappeningTexas's Story

      Sometimes there are benefits to being nominated for these awards. Otherwise, a police and gangster film about robbing a bank will be finished after watching it, and you will not think about what it is good for. Not as hot as the title sounds, "Going Through Water and Fire" actually looks quite boring, with not much soup and fire. Instead, the street scenes of several Texas towns continue to appear in...

      .

      The soundtrack is very good and the dialogue between the two policemen is very funny. I read a film review and said that the ending of the brothers reflects the different endings of the Indians' attitude towards predators, but can the younger brother really bear such a heavy sin of conscience? Hate for poverty Is it enough to resist the joy of turning over and succeeding? I don’t understand politics, I don’t understand history and culture, I don’t hate poverty, I hate the government, I hate...

      The epitome of capitalism

      The biggest feeling is that the director's control of the camera and the picture is quite similar to the after reading of Lu Xun's article when he was a student: "The gloomy weather generally heralds the tragic fate of the protagonist, setting off the bleak atmosphere, revealing social phenomena, and providing the tragic following. The plot foreshadows - but everything is still moving forward without rushing...". Most of the tone of the whole film gives me a deep feeling of unhappiness and...

      Brother roared, grabbed it and left.

      In fact, it is a very simple story. It lasted for 100 minutes. My younger brother wanted to get rid of poverty and become rich and run into a well-off society. He opened his mouth and said something. My brother was so passionate and wanted to rob a bank. Before retiring, the old sheriff brought his Indian partner to investigate the last case. To draw a successful end to his career, the result is still to make the high-IQ brother an outlaw.

      The strong western-style tones...

      It turns out that this screenwriter also wrote "Border Slayer" before, and the style is really consistent. But this time, the story structure has been reduced and it has become easier to control, so the credibility has improved...

      great! Pure flavor, similar to the abbreviated version of No Country for Old Men, but not as thick and dark as the Coen brothers. The characters are full of tension and the story is very...
