In "Exile", when the four gunmen chased away the robbers for Ren Xianqi, Ren Xianqi wanted to pick up the pistol that fell on the ground, but the gunman with the best marksmanship shot the pistol away from the ground, letting Ren Xianqi a few He couldn't pick it up even if he bent over, and it looked like he would never pick it up. Indeed, when the last shot sounded, the pistol was shot into the pool, and Ren Xianqi had to give up.
Ha, I laughed when I saw this, I was reminded of "Bad Double at Dusk".
It's like this in Red Dead, Clint Eastwood's nameless boy and the major played by Lee Van Cleef have a hilarious confrontation. The nameless boy first shot the major's hat on the ground, and the major bent over. To pick it up, the unknown boy shot the hat away again, and the major picked it up again, and so on and so forth, the major did not give up, until the unknown boy finished shooting, the major picked up his poor hat that had leaked air. (This plot is very exciting, I only described one point similar to "Exile", others are more fun) The
two have in common, there is no dialogue, and all rely on actions to express humor. It looks provocative, but in fact, the audience knows that this is just a small and fun game, and will not guess at a bigger conflict. But "The Dead and the Dead" obviously takes this play more seriously, and with the invincible soundtrack, it is even more memorable.

In "Exile", the four gunmen took down the gold and Ren Xianqi, and happily played in the night. Ren Xianqi sat alone, playing the harmonica, watching these four guys, having fun and distance.
In "Sunset and Yellow Sand", two old gangsters lie by a campfire and talk, while the youngest gangster in the team sits alone, playing the guitar and humming to the people. The young man is Mexican, and he is very different from the hearts of several old American gangsters. It is his existence that guides the direction of the entire film.

In "Exile", the four gunmen handed down a bottle of wine. You sipped and I drank it all. Very manly, very loyal. Everyone earns money, and everyone eats food.
In "Sunset and Yellow Sand", the six gangsters also passed on a bottle of wine to drink, but the funniest guy kept looking forward to the bottle coming to him, but when he finally got the bottle, it was empty. Hahahaha, like the other characters in the play, I laughed happily. This kind of little prank among men is actually common in our lives. Have you ever made fun of others or been made fun of?

In "Exile", the four gunmen went straight to the gangster's lair with gold in order to save their colleagues' women and children. In the end, all the jade and stones were burnt and perished together.
In "Sunset and Yellow Sand", in order to rescue their young companions who fell into the hands of the Mexican warlord, the four gangsters walked towards the barracks of 200 people with gold coins. The ending is predictable.


"Exile" I often watch, except for PTU, I think this is the one I have watched the most, maybe more than PTU. Because I love Westerns so much, I'm so happy to see Old Doo come to play with classic Westerns. In fact, the theme of "Exile" is very western, very desolate, and the situation of the four gunmen is very appropriate to use another translation of "Sunset and Yellow Sand" - "Rogue Records". The shooters in the film completely turned their faces with the boss, and were chased by the boss and had nowhere to go. When it comes to future plans, especially when they can't get a few banknotes, these four people are really lonely. Looking at a certain poster of "Exile", the western taste is even more direct. Several gunmen are lined up, and the tone is dusk and frustration. In the play, they chose to be brave and fearless, for love and dignity. Like a fairy tale. I love this fairy tale.
