idea?

Due to the age too long, there is no requirement for film shooting skills or anything. But one thing that impressed me was that when the child's father was about to fight Lake to the death, it can be said that it was approaching the climax. The whole family, including Sean, was very nervous and frightened. When the mother begged his father, the two quarreled and despaired. At that time, Joe entered the room with the gun as if he was out of the way and raised the toy gun and shouted. The sound was very noisy, which made people naturally feel upset, nervous and irritable. When the father and Sean were fighting, the camera position was placed at the feet of the frightened horse, which formed a very obvious depth effect, and also created a tense atmosphere through the constantly moving horseshoes. However, the characterization and performance methods of the whole movie are too long. The characterization is very flat, especially for children. I always think that children’s perspective is a more complicated existence, and they are experiencing a continuous influence of ideas and concepts. The process of tearing, but Joe in the film has always been naive, outside the third perspective, and then the whole environment or the emotions of the characters are also very wild, such as the duel between Sean and his father, which feels very inexplicable. . . But there was a line that I was impressed with. It was a conversation between Lake and his father. Lake said that they took this land from the Indians and they explored and developed it. Therefore, it belongs to them and they have power. Take it back, and my father’s retort is very thought-provoking. The Indians opened up this land earlier, and they also devoted their lives and time and energy to this. The common people also created their own homes, and they also had certain rights. So everyone is actually speaking for their own benefit, and they are biased. Land needs civilization to rule, but who will determine civilization and system? It is still worth thinking about today.

    The audio-visual language is outdated, and I really want to find a Tsui Hark for them to be responsible for the scene scheduling for the indoor fight. The inversion of the binary opposition between civilization and barbarism in traditional westerns is quite interesting, and the perspective of children is also well arranged.

    Agricultural Westerns, although the style is simple and old-fashioned, but the ending is inexplicably moving, and the director is a master of ethical melodrama at first sight.
