I was fascinated by the beginning of the film, and Cohen's voice awakened the continuous sadness in my heart. I shed tears at the end of the film, not just for an endless love, but for the meaning of the whole life. If you were born in a jungle society, and you have obtained personal wealth by means that are actually not noble, then suddenly someone announces that your efforts are nothing. They can assassinate you and use various methods to force you to transfer your property. Because they want to do it and can do it. At this moment, you remembered the justice that you once dismissed. You asked the judicial system for help, but you soon discovered that there is no institution to help you in this cruel society. You are weak like a wild dog, they only need to drag you into the car, dig a hole in the wild and bury you alive, or plasticize it into a corpse specimen, no one knows whether you are dead or alive. No one complains for you, as if you never existed in this world. You can choose to endure your life, but in the end you are a hero in American Western movies, and you choose to use your life to defend your own interests. In fact, you are not a hero. You are cowardly and you are greedy for money. You just want to guard an acre of land and hot kangtou with your own woman. When others force you to go, you have to resist. Rabbits understand the truth, but such resistance will never happen in a similar place on the earth. The names of the three Cohen songs used in the film are "Winter Lady," "The Stranger Song," and "Sisters of Mercy, let us indulge in sorrow, under the guise of love, except this is allowed, You will never find the wanton of life anymore.

McCabe & Mrs. Miller quotes

  • Constance Miller: See, the thing is, it don't mean nothing. You never know, you might even get to like it. I mean, you managed it with Bart, didn't you? Eh?

    [fitting a Ida with some new underwear]

    Constance Miller: You really are small, aren't you. Just like me. I'll get a few pins.

    Ida: But with him I had to. It was my duty.

    Constance Miller: Turn around. It weren't your duty, lda. You did it to pay for your bed and board. And you do this to pay for your bed and board, too! Only, you get to keep a little extra for yourself and you don't have to ask nobody for nothing. Just more honest in my mind.

  • John McCabe: You boys gotta make up your minds if you want to get your cookies. Cause if you want to get your cookies, I've got girls up here that'll do more tricks than a goddamn monkey on a hundred yards of grapevine.
