The picturesque pictures and the poetic soundtrack are the deepest impression of this film!
Both the screenwriter and the actor are very successful, I really don’t understand why the box office lost that year~~The

whole film is like this growth history~The protagonist Jack, In the war, I experienced a rain of bullets, severed fingers, the death of a friend, became a comrade with a slave, married, and formed a family in the life process!

From the quiet life at the beginning, to later, became the victims of this battle~Those young
His life finally understood the meaning of war. He yelled and went to fight against the elderly in the north. In fact, he was just going to rob and kill innocent people. Cruel wars will always bring endless pain to the people.

Li Ang, use it as one of them . the slow-paced narrative to the story meanders, it can be seen only among oriental people understand the interesting little details, such as Dallas and widows tryst, let the brothers go outside to shoot birds ~~~~~~~
personal It feels much better than Brokeback Mountain! The
fierce orangutan storm and the singing and laughter at night form a strong contrast. The endless prairie and the beauty of the sunset reflect the destruction of mankind by war. The

last paragraph, When the master died, the black slave was very sad. Jack thought he was the same as himself. The feeling of spiritual emptiness after the death of his friend, but, the black slave said, it was a feeling of "free"!
Even though that person had already given him freedom, But, that's not true. Freedom is to be realized by himself!
When Jack meets the person who was going to kill him before, he didn't start the robbery. Everything should be over. Everyone lives in pain. When experiencing When all this is over, calm and tolerance are the most important, completely Eastern expressions! Very awesome

    In Ang Lee's films, it's normal. Looking at the Civil War from a southern perspective, it's a bit verbose in some places.

    This film is adapted from Daniel Woodrell's novel. Ang Lee integrates the grand group narrative into the individual tension narrative, and the directing method is relaxed and without delay. It’s just that the film’s aesthetic creation of natural elements has not been integrated with the drama of the story, and the emotional entanglement between people has not formed a strong dramatic tension, sometimes deep, sometimes smooth. Overall, this film It's more like a thankless work by Ang Lee.
