People who are puzzled by the fact that Ben kills all his followers at the end are because they don't know enough about Ben, and wishful thinking put him into the moral framework of a secular hero or a knight, but Ben is a complete western robber. The childhood experience has left an indelible trace in his heart. The so-called state is easy to change, and his nature is hard to change. He only pursues his own pleasure, and his partner is only a tool, nothing more, so there is nothing he cannot accept or understand.
When Ben met Dan, he saw a spirit that shocked him. He insisted on his beliefs, and used his sense of responsibility to take on and sacrifice himself for his family and son. This is a powerful manifestation of a man's great soul. Ben is also very masculine. Xiongfeng, but in front of Dan's sense of responsibility and courage, his heart was shocked, and his followers became very small, they were just tools for him to do business, so when they killed the moral hero Dan who shocked him, he was furious. Now, it makes sense to kill them.

    The ending is a bit weird but still a good story

    The final change of Ben was too abrupt. The reason was that the previous director lacked sufficient description of Ben’s inner drama, except for mentioning his childhood and mother. However, these alone were not enough to promote his final action, which led to the ending. It's not like sublimation but more like a sharp turn of ninety degrees. In addition, the whole film is quite exciting.

3:10 to Yuma quotes

  • Ben Wade: You ever read the bible, Dan? I read it one time. I was eight years old. My daddy just got hisself killed over a shot of whiskey and my mama said "we're going back East to start over". So she gave me a bible, sat me down in the train station, told me to read it. She was gonna get our tickets. Well, I did what she said. I read that bible from cover to cover. It took me three days. She never came back.

  • Ben Wade: Well, you did it, Dan.
