There are no villains in this movie, but they are all villains. The two female protagonists cheat each other and have their own needs. The older female protagonist seems to like the old cowboy, but she knows that it is impossible because of her past and can't give up the seemingly comfortable status quo In the face of feelings and reality, she chose to live with her impotence husband. The young hostess went out to find pleasure because her husband did not understand the mood (premature ejaculation, or the sex life did not take into account his wife's feelings).
The unlucky policeman was tortured by the old cowboy for killing the Mexican by mistake (forced to escort the Mexican corpse to his hometown, and endured all kinds of hardships on the way), and finally ended with the burial of the Mexican and praying for forgiveness before the Mexican corpse. I believe he is not religious Yes, but he was also punished due to the torture and his wife’s leaving without saying goodbye. I believe it is the best lesson in life for him. He must know how to respect others, whether it is his wife or Mexico. Refugees, being in awe and respect for others is a background color that should have in a person's personality.
The old cowboy looks cold and ruthless, but a kind-hearted person who teaches the police, is passionate about old women, treats blind elderly people, and treats Mexican friends can all reflect his warmth and respect for life.
What did this movie express in the end, I didn’t figure it out.
