Key agreement
tags: Nick Cave Guy Pearce The west
was originally directed at Guy Pearce. After watching it, I found that I hadn't seen such a clean movie for a long time. I have always loved Western movies~ The vast scenery, the sky is full of yellow Sha, in a desolate setting, the character's story is very strong.
Speaking of Guy Pearce, the young policeman who is also good and evil in the Los Angeles Confidential, the "real" Andy Warhol in the factory girl, a new film...

Set in the Australian outback in the 1880s, the movie follows the series of events following the horrific rape and murder of the Hopkins family, allegedly committed by the infamous Burns brothers gang.
The film opens in a brothel during a violent gunfight between the police and Charlie Burns' (Guy Pearce) gang, which ends with the deaths of all of the gang members except for Charlie and his younger brother Mikey. Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone) makes the proposition to Charlie: he and...

Interview with Nick Cave, screenwriter and music creator
Reporter (hereinafter referred to as "Keep"): How did the "Key Agreement" take shape?
Nick Cave (hereinafter referred to as "NC"): I have known director John Hillcoat for more than 20 years, and he has been thinking about filming Western Australia for 18 of these 20 years, and I will be responsible for the music part. I have been working with him for 18 years. In the end, he gave me an Australian Western film script adapted from the American West Story. In fact, we all know that this...

A movie to understand Australia
Harsh natural environment, dirty body, evil soul, longing for good
Natural environment, human history, white people, indigenous people, good people and bad people. The contradiction between man and man, the contradiction between man and nature. Struggle and survival, civilization and barbarism, murder weapon and people. Various factors collide in the movie, bursting out dazzling sparks. I feel that this film condenses the history of Australian immigration development in these two...

Charlie Burns: No more.
Jellon Lamb: Forgive me, sir, but I've been stuck here with no one but this sorry sack of Hibernian pig shit for conversation. Poor, poor Dan O'Reilly. Sit, sir. Drink with me.
[Charlie cocks his gun and points it to Lamb]
Charlie Burns: One more crack about the Irish, Mr. Lamb, and I'll shoot you. Am I clear?
Jellon Lamb: Oh, as the waters of Ennis, sir. Let us drink, then, to the Irish. No finer race of men have ever... peeled a potato.
[Charlie cocks his gun again and points it to Lamb]
Charlie Burns: Do you pray, Mr. Lamb?
Captain Stanley: I wish to present you with a proposition. I know where Arthur Burns is. It is a God-forsaken place. The blacks won't go there, not the tracks; not even wild men. I suppose, in time, the bounty hunters will get him. But I have other plans, I aim to bring him down - I aim to show that he's a man like any other. I aim to hurt him.
Sergeant Lawrence: When you're ready, sir...
Captain Stanley: And what will most hurt him? Well I thought long and hard about that, and I've realized Mr. Burns, that I must become more inventive in my methods. But those be my words listen to me now, *don't* say a word. Now suppose I told there was a way to save your little brother Mikey from the noose. Suppose I gave you a horse, and a gun. Suppose Mr. Burns, I was to give you and your young brother Mikey here a pardon. Suppose I said that I could give you a chance to expunge the guilt, beneath which you so clearly labor. Suppose I gave you 'til Christmas. Now, suppose you tell me what it is I want from you.
Charlie Burns: You want me to kill me brother.
Captain Stanley: I want you to kill your brother.
