Can you imagine that a movie with the name " First Cow " would be such a refreshing movie? Completely unexpected. The story is set in the American West in the early 19th century. Gold diggers, immigrants, Indians, opportunists, dignitaries and captains. Compared with traditional westerns, this movie has streams, quiet rivers, mushrooms and bread bridges. The soundtrack is also similar to ukulele’s lively music. "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" also has a story of a gold digger, starring Tom Waits, who is also soft and strong. "The First Cow" is more gentle, even the conflict is just dodge and keep chasing. The final ending of the story is moving. There is no gunfire. Two friends lie under the bushes, and one friend comforts the other. We will leave and start a new life.

"The First Cow" tells a story of friendship years. A Chinese immigrant and a Western cook became friends, and the two did business through a cow. The meeting scene is very funny, the cook Cookie Cookie is looking for food in the wild, Chinese Jinglu King Lu appears in the bushes unclothed, Cookie stretches out a friendly hand, and the two go to each other the next day. , Until later met again in the tavern. The pioneering era of opportunism is full of legend and romance, but also full of adventure and sacrifice.

In this new land of Oregon, the chief agent wearing a top hat misses the sweet buns in London, the Indians sell labor and local almonds, the immigrants perform their duties, the beaver skin business, bartering, and cleaning the house. , Go to the pub to drink whiskey. After exchanging their thoughts, Cookie and Jing Lu wanted to make something together. Cookie was a cook, and Jing Lu was a bright-minded opportunist. Desolate Oregon had more almonds and beaver skins. Everyone needs it. Something soft and sweet. Milk and honey, coupled with the craftsmanship of cookies, the two soon started a scarce milk bread business. The raw material milk is a key step. There is only one cow in Oregon, and it does not belong to Cookie and Jinglu. The two decided to summon the courage to start the business of the first cow.

Before the bakery business, Cookie was picking mushrooms and wild fruits in the woods. It was also in this scene that the two met for the first time. It was the first time for Cookie to go to Jinglu’s house and began to help clean the house. Jing Lu was cutting firewood outside the house. When Cookie was catching fish, Jing Lu was basking in the sun and taking a nap. Cookie was cooking and baking bread. Lu takes a bath to feed the chickens, the picture is harmonious. On the way back to catch the fish, the two will discuss the issue of faith. Jing Lu said that he believes in different things in different places, just as there are different legends about weathered stones. Some people think that it will rain if you sit on weathered stones. People say that the weathered stone is a powerful soul that has been cursed and trapped in the stone.

Jing Lu has the spirit of a gold digger. He thought about sending beaver oil to China for sale, knowing that this land of Oregon was a new opportunity. Biscuits wants to open a bakery or a hotel. Jing Lu quickly made a judgment and can open it here. If he makes some preparations, he can go to a warmer place in the south, such as San Francisco. What else do you need to make sweet bread? Jing Lu would ask Cookie like this.

Cookies are delicate and full of kindness, so he became friends with Jing Lu, and he saved Jing Lu. Because of this, he hesitated before deciding to do business, Jing Lu asked, is there anything worth doing? The first time I go to milk the cows, the cookies will first say Hello to the cows, chat for a while, apologize to the cows for losing her husband and cow children, and comfort the cows before slowly milking the cows. When Xiaobing met Jing Lu for the first time, the first sentence she said was also Hello.

Two golden partners work together in partnership, one on the tree and the other to milk the cow. One toast, one to carry to sell, as more and more people lined up to buy, the two started frying directly on the roadside, and received an order from the chief agent. This order is more difficult. In addition to the extra energy and materials required for production, the person who placed the order is also the owner of the cow. Opportunism means that there is a problem of probability, and it is natural if you miss and encounter trouble. The dignitaries found someone in the backyard. Jing Lu and Cookie fled and walked away. Jing Lu got on a canoe along the river looking for Cookie. After Cookie woke up, they walked back to Jinglu’s house and they took them. The money saved by making bread, ran away together.

At the end of the story, the two friends slept together forever, and there can be a hundred answers to the story and the story. Those adventurers, opportunists, to varying degrees are seeking their first cow.

    The process of diluting is too advanced, and I have been tensing up and waiting for the last-minute gunshots, but silence is better than sound. Strong friendships are based not only on living together and dying together, but also on sinning together. The United States has not had such a seamless integration of Indian culture and exotic gold rush history for many years. Such a tone and theme is still deafening today, but how the relationship between the cook and Lu Jin is like the nostalgic world of yesterday.

    4.5 Competition. Old Joy's Oregon Forest Variation, the characters almost melt into the texture of the environment. The two wandering souls cherish each other, and the light in their hearts is fragile and tender. Stepping on fallen leaves, wading through shallow water, and everything breathing under the calm and precise lens, Reichardt's bland heartbreak never needs to be said. She's also probably the one who best captures the delicate balance between animal mystery and cuteness.
