1. Direct perception of
, roughly speaking about the stories that took place in the western United States between 1800 and 1900, and the film coincides with historical events. We probably don't know much about these historical events in the film, at least I am not familiar with it. At the beginning of the story, people from the eastern United States go to the west for adventure, and only the greatest adventurer knows the route. The vast land of the west is distributed by Indian tribes and huge bison herds. The eastern adventurers and Indian tribes still have primitive and dangerous exchanges. , And this time through the vast lands of the Midwest to California, to the west of the American continent, the first adventurer who saw the east coast of the Pacific Ocean met Spanish colonists. With my little historical knowledge, they met Spanish colonizers. , But there is really no expectation.
This series has six episodes. After the first episode of understanding the West through the perspective of adventurers, I think there are only two things to focus on in the subsequent story. One is the American construction to connect the Midwest. At the same time, a large number of people migrated to the west to make a living. The other is the encounter of the Indians.
Most of the screenwriters of this film are similar to the pattern of many great novels by Soviet Russian writers, with a grand historical framework and several features. The toss and turns of the connected family (but the film lacks in detail and vividness.), only the end of the story is a clear main theme movie processing method.

2, digression
For many American movies, the more realistic, the less I can have What I feel is that I only know that things happened that way (at least it's closer to what happened that way), but I don't know how to do it. Do it faithfully in your heart? Yes, historical things, I don't think it can be easy Thinking and maintaining my own opinion, I can't know my heart.
From various channels, we can know that our social illnesses have gained and lost common sense, and mainstream Western countries always sound fair and orderly. For pessimists, history is composed of a series of unfortunate events. In the earth civilization, we first understand our own people, and then hear about the influential peoples, and then directly contact the things they produce and read their interpretations from more perspectives, and then learn about the people with less influence, and walk into other people. The ethnic group, even become them..... I said this process is to say that for me, an indifferent pessimist, my own ethnic group is bad enough, not as good as a dog, and other ethnic groups are also fly camp dog teams. A group of ghosts. It is not because of human behavior that is wrong, but because of the dirt of human concepts. If a nation corresponds to a god who belongs in a relative sense, then the creation of such a person with empty history and endless loopholes, the truth can be said. There are a thousand Towers of Babel in the eyes of a thousand gods.
From the perspective of American movies, Americans without a long history have relatively more civilized values. There are more logic to follow in the world. Their films repeatedly expose themselves. On the dark side, they frequently show their unremitting struggle against universal rights.

3, the reason for writing this comment.
I don’t like to write a paragraph or something to the movies I have seen, and many things are not clear and written. There is no difference between not writing it. I wrote "Western Wind and Cloud" because of the final perspective of the film. In those 100 years, the United States was still very far away from civilization. There were cruel things everywhere in the film, from the bison to the Chinese workers. From the abolitionist to the Indian women and children, until the last episode, the Indians have lost their land, food, sacred mountains, and even their language, but the terrible foretelling that the Indians will encounter extinction-style slaughter is more and more. Strongly, the hatred accumulated in my heart after watching the previous part of the film finally emerged. I think, such hatred and injustice, no matter how excessive and misplaced revenge, I can't be overstated. I even feel that civilization has nothing to do with me, wealth and What do I do, only hatred is important... Later in the film, the remnants of a certain Indian tribe still have not escaped this massacre.
The love of the Indian sage buffalo thinks for a lifetime and thinks about the fantasy; the white man adventures Jacob traveled all his life and stayed with his wife. At the end of the film, these two undead old men told the children around them that they were not telling about hatred, not about right and wrong, they just said that there is no end to life, and the stories of the past will be passed on from generation to generation. Go down.
It is this kind of ending that solves the hatred in my heart, the past, the vicissitudes of the sea, the right and wrong things, and it does not occupy a new life, those right and wrong, those things that have changed our lives, exist in their entire life. The form, which illuminates the back of our new life, should always be bright.
People can cultivate sentiment. I don't know whether our country has such a possibility.
