Anti-genre Westerns, the look and feel at the beginning is still very good, the simple hints of chapters appear at the beginning, and the simple and elegant books give people the texture of vicissitudes. The first chapter of the Ballad of Buster Scruggs, the western accent, the duel of the cowboys is fascinating, although the content is an old western story, but the sudden ending made me realize that the film is not simple . Buster is like an alien who broke into the western world, bringing a cheerful ballad to the desolate and cruel western world. A neat and decent dress symbolizes peace, order, or the destiny of God. Buster arrived at the ideal shore and silently watched the land. Chapter 2 In the ridiculous desert bank near Algodones, the childish robber seems calm and peaceful after everything. It looks a little "Yu Hua", and the background and status of the characters can be associated with each other. At the same time, however, the plot seems too simplistic. Chapter 3 Harrison's Instructor, the design of carriages and towns is a bit like Red Dead Redemption. The tragic meaning of the story is very strong. The relationship between the two seems elusive. At first, they were like father and son brothers, but later they were pure interests, and the ending was extremely cruel. The whole feels like a fairy tale. The disabled person who tells the same story thousands of times, his enthusiasm is not extinguished by the indifference of the audience, and stands like a stone statue in the story. The ending of the Coen brothers' fairy tale must not be heart-warming, but this aphasia who struggles with fate has become the most vivid image in the whole film. The fourth chapter, Golden Canyon, tells the story of man and nature. The stoic and optimistic old man conquered the tricks of nature and fate. The story as a whole is very bland, but the scheduling of each element is very comfortable, and I personally like it. Chapter 5, Loud President Pierce Jr., about the fragility of women. Personally, my least favorite is that the whole story is unexpectedly long. The female lead's skills are not online, and the whole story is more messy and less philosophical. The western from the perspective of women is worth thinking about, after all, westerns are almost exclusively male-dominated. Chapter 6 The mortal remains, the downloaded resource soundtrack was broken when I saw it here, so I didn't understand the second half. The dramatic performance in a small space once again created a sense of freshness, telling the story of death in a metaphorical form. Generally speaking, it is not perfect, but it is still full of sincerity. Except for the fifth chapter, I did not take too much memory of a certain story. It is still the taste of the Coen brothers.

    Damn Coen Brothers + Lan Lan! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! The fifth story is awesome! ! ! ! ! BLOW MY MIND! At the moment of the end, I got goosebumps for a generation, think about it this way: how to start a story with this painting. At the beginning of the sixth story, the black humor of the Coen brothers was shown fiercely, and I was very satisfied (the sixth story is French, Irish, etc., it is difficult for Chinese people to get this kind of identity icon cold humor). The fourth story also speculates that the eagle came back to peck the old man and fell off the tree. This sense of suspense, which is thought to be a fable, is also very interesting. In the short review, stop reading and comprehension with full marks, and forcefully pull this film into a relationship with Cohen and their previous works. Uncle Liam Neeson's acting is amazing! Shut down Zoe...

    Streaming seems to have reduced the popularity of directors at Cohen's level.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs quotes

  • Trapper (segment "The Mortal Remains"): So... him on the roof, he was wanted?

    Englishman (segment "The Mortal Remains"): Oh, Mr. Thorpe was very much wanted... judging by what the are paying for him!

    [the Englishman and the Irishman chuckle]

    Trapper (segment "The Mortal Remains"): What did he do?

    Frenchman (segment "The Mortal Remains"): Passage?

    Englishman (segment "The Mortal Remains"): From here to there. To the other side. Watching them try to make sense of it, as they pass to that other place. I do like looking into their eyes as they try to make sense of it.

    Englishman (segment "The Mortal Remains"): I do.

    [stares at the Lady]

    Englishman (segment "The Mortal Remains"): I do.
