What a simple story, well done.
The beautiful Texas scenery, wide-angle, and long-range scenery lenses endow "Going Through Fire and Water" with a unique natural beauty, even if it is a Western film or crime film, it is still intoxicating. Perhaps it is this charming scenery that makes poverty and capital deprivation even more cruel. Many of the director's shots were shot at wide angles, the distance between the two people was not compressed, and the depth of the space felt suffocated by beauty. The older brother, younger brother, white police officer, and police officer of Indian descent under the camera are all three-dimensionally portrayed. The older brother is indeed a rotten bastard, but he takes care of his younger brother in every possible way. When he knew that his mother died, he was already full of such a small detail as the moistness of the corners of his eyes. I can't help but think of the older brother in "Slumdog Millionaire" who did everything to keep his younger brother alive. In the face of generations of poverty, the choice of the two is embarrassing.
Robbing a bank just to save money for his son and change the face of poverty, this story alone is too telling. Hey, I can't write anything, but I still want to write, fucking world.
