This drama of the American History Channel has an epic movie effect, which is by no means inferior to many so-called blockbusters. I personally think the only thing worse is that the plot is a bit lengthy. It may be more loyal to history and there are not too many adaptations. From a movie standpoint alone, it's enough to give it four and a half stars. Moreover, it is undeniable that this is indeed a rare masterpiece in Western films that is both ornamental and emotional. (The final episode of the film received a record-breaking 14.3 million viewers

in the United States. ) The film focuses on the rivalry between two notorious American families, the Hatfields and the McCoys. Oscar-winning director Kevin Costner ("Waterworld" actor) plays "Devil" Anse Hatfield. The quarrel originated during the Civil War. Anse Hatfield and Randall McCoy were good buddies, but they didn't want to change later. The two forged a relationship, which even caused unrest in Virginia and Kentucky. As a result, the two families joined forces to make a The most notorious bloody dispute in American history.

The hatred between the two families almost caused a civil war between two states in the United States. The growth of generations and constant revenge can only bring more hatred and death. The estrangement between the two family leaders directly laid the root cause for the unnecessary casualties of future generations. Prejudice leads to stubborn pride, and self-esteem leads to irreversible estrangement. The constant friction eventually led to an irreversible ending, and the pain brought to both families was indelible.

The love in the movie seems to be just a song that seems to have nothing to do . The heart is good, how can it be evil.

Just in line with an old Chinese saying, "When will the grievances be repaid?", when the male protagonist finally sees through, the two families finally put down the fight and let go of their grievances. When several generations pass, how many people will remember the history of life and death that year, and people cannot live for the past. Children should have their own lives. have their own dreams, whether great or ordinary.

The most thought-provoking part of the film is when the McCoys mother went to visit her three sons who were about to be executed, "You can't imagine the pain of a mother giving birth, but I have experienced that pain again and again, so I only I have every one of you." However, now they have to watch them leave their mother so easily because of hatred. Two kinds of pain, also because of men. Selfish, arrogant, stubborn, prejudiced, impulsive, as Hatfields nicknamed it, the devil.

I sincerely look forward to when domestic historical documentaries of this level can be produced.

    At the end, I realized that this mini-series is a straightforward narrative, and the touching points are not exerted. It is like the quality of cola, and even if it tastes good, it is still a carbonated drink.
