Three funerals in Escada

I have always been a lonely person. To me, my friend seems to be the person sitting across from me when we drink and eat together. I never ask them to do anything for me. Of course, I don’t want them to fantasize about what I can do for them. So when I saw that old farmer Pete (Tommy Lee Jones), who did not know the vicissitudes of thousands of years, kidnapped the border patrolman Mike (Barry Pepper Played), and brought Escada's body back to Mexico for burial, I didn't believe that such a lovely thing would happen in our world. But this does not affect my love of this film. Like most road movies, the loyalty to friendship or Mike's journey of redemption has brought us a lot.

The blind old man who wanted to die but couldn’t commit suicide because of his beliefs; the Mexican girl who had been injured by Mike’s nose because of smuggling and he was cured after Mike was bitten by a snake; and she looked blankly in the desert Mexican cowboys who do not understand the content of American soap operas.
When they were boring, they were just stories. Only two hours later, we also experienced that journey. Although it was not profound, we are no longer who we were before.

    Because of the sense of substitution, I always imagine myself as a policeman who accidentally hurt others, so this movie feels very passive and aggrieved.
