Individual whole

"I have a very good lawyer." The fourteen-year-old girl's words can be beaten all over the world.
There is no need to petition, no need to write banners, no need to stand in a sedan chair, no need to stuff red envelopes, and no need to be imprisoned for life as a neurosis.
"Twelve Angry Men" and "True Grit", two concepts, one final purpose.
Seeing this kind of film full of confidence in the system of my own country makes me jealous and envious. Also feel that it is out of reach or within reach.
Very contradictory.
The scene can't be held anymore, and the status quo is maddening.

    It's the most tender movie of the Coen brothers I've ever seen. The ten-minute ending of the film, Old Jeff's heartfelt "I'm old" is really teary... the ending song "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" sounded, and the emotions continued. Last time The same feeling is still the ending theme of "Brokeback Mountain"...very good, very good.

    A magnificent western dirge of the Coen brothers, mellow and not without sourness. 1. The three characters are all made with flesh and blood: although the sheriff is rude, alcoholic, and discriminates against Indians and Chinese, he is bold, affectionate and righteous; the girl who is determined to avenge her father is determined, wise and brave, and she believes in justice and a little bit. Naive, Hailee Steinfeld is fantastic; Damon's sharpshooter Mounties is also impressive. 2. The endless deserts, snowfields, caves, bonfires, forest huts under the night, and silhouettes of galloping in the wilderness or riding against the stars at dusk... Roger Deakins' photography fully demonstrates the beauty of the West, Carter Burwell's score is also remarkable. 3. There is no shortage of Cohen-esque brushstrokes in the film—a world full of chance, impermanence, and out-of-control, like hanged strangers, riverside encounters after losing clues, misfired revolvers, and sudden blows from recoil and snake caves. 4. At the end, the "Wild West Show in History" circus not only refers to the end of the western pioneering era, but also declares the beginning of the construction and spread of western mythology. 5. The final vision silhouette is homogenous to [Unforgivable], but one room is missing. (9.0/10)
