envy, jealousy, hate

There are no absolute good guys and bad guys like Jesse and Rob.

"Hero worship" exists only in a pure world, and when it is brought to real life, it becomes a completely different form, distorting human nature and doing whatever it takes to satisfy vanity.

After Jesse finally found out the truth, he did not kill Rob and Charlie who were traveling with him, but eased the holster, turned his back on the past and pretended to wipe the painting and let Rob kill himself. Change, from distrust, depression, anger to everything around him, and finally to despair. Even the most trusted person has already betrayed him. In fact, he chose such a "suicide".

The contrast of characters is also very clear: Rob's arrogance and vanity in killing Jesse is greatly satisfied with Charlie's silence, doubt, regret and suicide, giving a strong character contrast; He was so good people applauded, even when he surrendered the so-called justice.

    The film is too long and the pace is slow. If you watch the ending patiently, you'll think, well, it's not bad.

    "Betrayal" is an eternal theme between people.

  • Ed Miller: I was with a girl once. Wasn't a squaw, but she was purty. She had yellow hair, like uh... oh, like something.

    Dick Liddil: Like hair bobbed from a ray of sunlight?

    Ed Miller: Yeah, yeah. Like that. Boy, you talk good.

    Dick Liddil: You can hide things in vocabulary.

    Ed Miller: Maybe you and me could writer her a note, send it by post?

    Dick Liddil: See, all you gotta do, Ed, is predict her needs and beat her to the punch.

    Ed Miller: Well, this girl, she had a real specific job.

    Dick Liddil: Specific?

    Ed Miller: We's only together once. She's afraid of lightning. She came up into the wagon and just cuddled right up to me. She gave me a kind price, too.

    Dick Liddil: Well I'll be! That is specific.

    Ed Miller: Yeah, sure, she been with other people. But the kinds of things she said to me, people just don't say unless they really mean it.

    Dick Liddil: "My love said she would marry only me, and Jove himself could not make her care, for what women say to lovers, you'll agree, one writes on running water, or on air."

    Ed Miller: My God that's good. Let's write her that.

    Dick Liddil: Naw. Poetry don't work on whores.
