Mysticism and feminism stand apart from traditional westerns

Unlike traditionally male-directed gritty westerns, Kelly Reichardt's counter-genre takes a female perspective on colonial policy and the Indo-Aboriginal. Like many of her works, she still focuses on the vast land of Oregon, USA. The background of this time can be traced back to the pioneering period of the Great Western Migration in the 19th century. The film uses a square frame to restore a classical atmosphere. Although there is an important suspense throughout (whether the crowd can find...

This movie is a representative work of "Western Wilderness Movie". The film uses a large number of long shots and empty shots to show the Horridian fantasy, showing the realism of postmodernism. Unlike "Waiting for Godot", the protagonist passively waits for the ideal to arrive, but the protagonist of this film takes the initiative to cross the road of Oregon to find his ideal home. The exploration and loss of the protagonists in the wasteland is an insinuation of the confused psychology of...

Kelly Leichhardt is one of the most authoritative directors in contemporary America

The director's style has always been to take away everything that can be taken away. As a female director, it's nice to be so neat. In her films, she always insists that the audience does not need to let the audience know the background of the characters, the motives of their actions, or even the results. . . Her films have never been lengthy and start from scratch, because of this kind of lay-out. The audience and the people in the play immediately meet, the audience enters...

"We just play our roles, and it's all predestined before we come." The film deconstructs westerns with the spirit of Mother Earth, calm and powerful, full of tenacity, fading away adventure and legend, focusing on survival and belief. When we see another civilization facing survival freely and calmly, do we really have the self-proclaimed advanced and...

Westerns, my favorite, but not much told from a female perspective. The mutual trust and tenacity between people shown in Westerns is farther and farther away from modern people. The female director expresses a point of view through Meek's mouth in the film, which is intriguing: Women are created on the principle of chaos, Men are created on the principle of destruction. Women create chaos, men destroy...

The long day wears off the will, the dark night hides the fear, and the dull temperament that runs through the image of the light and dark alternating rhythm at a constant speed is just like the irritability, depression, and panic when everyone is looking for a destination. Until the end, the Kabbalah tree that grows upside down is not right. Will this exodus of the meaning of life start from nothing, travel through infinity and finally sink to the infinite light (the infinite nothingness...
