A classic of the Western absurdity, but I want to say something else
After reading the Ballad of Buster Scruggs, I suddenly understood the drawbacks of "secondary absorption". At first, I swiped the commentary of the first story on Douyin, which is the name of the movie. I thought the content was very novel, thinking it was an anti-routine style, and then read the whole article. The final realization is that the anti-routines in Buster Scruggs' ballads are not anti-routines for anti-routines' sake, but do convey some ideas, mostly about the...

The Ballad of Busters - A Wonderful Ballad
At the beginning, a beautiful light music entered the ear, which was very nice. The whole film is divided into six short stories. In the Badlands of the West, an outlaw in a white coat and hat rides a white horse, plays the guitar and sings. When he got to the first tavern, he shot six big men in the tavern for a glass of whisky. In the second tavern, he killed Old Joe for playing cards, and then ran over without pressure in a duel with Old Joe's younger brother. At this time, there appeared...

Death is so sudden and natural
I like this kind of movie very much. In my opinion, there is no artificial "deep meaning", but it just tells a good story. And these stories, perhaps compared with ordinary movie stories, do not have so many ups and downs, but they are plain and natural, and they seem so real. Like death in every story, it comes so suddenly and so naturally when you think about it.
The gunman in the first story played the game of killing or being killed. Although it was very...

In my opinion:
Story 1. When we were young and frivolous, we always thought that we were invincible in the world. After leaving our hometown, we discovered that there was someone outside, and finally accepted mediocrity in unwillingness. (Gunman)
Story 2. After becoming an adult, I always feel that I am still young and still have a lot of opportunities. Who knows, I have already missed the last chance of my destiny. (robber)
Story 3. When people reach middle age, they can't...

Six short stories: full of human thinking, there is no right or wrong, bad people do not necessarily face punishment, good people do not necessarily live long. In real life, I often face this kind of thing, and sometimes the retribution is unhappy, and sometimes the sky has no eyes.
This movie is most commendable for not forcing the main theme as usual. Through accidents, people's choices in various situations determine the direction of events. Some of them...

Six stories with western background, seemingly unconnected, but all express impermanence, impermanence,...

A small collection of once-in-a-lifetime events in the West, a bit like "Wild Tales" a few years ago. The 4th and 5th stories deal with the pros and cons of playing dead, respectively...one extra star for the aesthetics and...

Nice to see! The development of the plot is always unexpected, and the craftsmanship of the veteran filmmakers showed their strength in the year without surprises in...

D / The boring thing is not that only the 5th paragraph is good, but that although only the 5th paragraph is good, the other 5 are also...

It's as enjoyable as watching six Cohen films; I really want to rashly use "strong literary" to describe this film, with the temperament of Salinger's "Nine Stories"; the shots are typically full of emotions, sometimes gloomy like an eventful autumn, Low saturation and high gray, sometimes as bright as a spring full of gardens, high saturation and high brightness, color matching is the most experimental among all works, catering to its retro style; I watched "No Country for Old Men" and...
Mr. Arthur (segment "The Gal Who Got Rattled"): [as the Indians prepare for a second attack] They got the lay of the land now. This time they'll come with a purpose. You all right, Miss?
Alice Longabaugh (segment "The Gal Who Got Rattled): Yes, Mr. Arthur!
Mr. Arthur (segment "The Gal Who Got Rattled"): They ain't gonna do this all day. This will tell the tale.
[points rifle]
Buster Scruggs (segment "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs"): [checks his hat after being shot and finds a bullet entry hole on the front and a bloody exit hole on the back] Well... that ain't good.
Buster Scruggs (segment "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs"): [after gunning down everyone in the cantina Buster notices a survivor crawling on the floor] It appears the vitals of this lucky son-of-a-gun remain unpunctured. Sloppy shootin' on my part.
