This is a late Western movie by Clint Eastwood. The rhythm is smooth and regular, but it has that fascinating charm. Following the performance of the three old dramas in the movie, the wild dialogue and the punch line seem to be The two-hour movie is over. The elements of old westerns are reproduced all the time in the movie, but it is more not the kind of deliberately cool, violent character, unrestrained and aggressive in old-style westerns. American cowboys are more calm, solemn, and calm to the extreme. They say it is rough and wild. This is really because it is a pure Western movie at its core. You can also say that it is delicate, even if it is every character. The expression and each dialogue have a certain depth, and the character of each character is well grasped. It is just right. I don’t know whether Eastwood is paying tribute or silent tribute. He treats him like this. The last western film was made into an anti-genre film. In the past, the difference is no longer American individual heroism, but very obvious, naked anti-hero, there is no so-called villain in the film, a revolutionized old age killer, a principled strong The tyrant sheriff, the vague morality, the indistinct good and evil, everyone has their own reasons and positions, there is no absolute good and bad, this is the special place of this special western movie. A barbaric land isolated from the world, there is no law and no morality, and only the strong can survive. I like the attitude of cowboys that is a stick in their mind. No matter how bad they are, I appreciate their principled principles. The iron rule cannot be violated to defend one's dignity by swearing to the death with one's life.
The Scofield kid, who had never killed anyone before but thought he was invincible, felt trembling and inexplicably guilt after killing someone, because he had never felt that he was so close to death. The movie seemed very violent. In fact, it is an anti-violent movie. The inexplicable fear of the young cowboy who yearns to kill after killing, and the forbearance of the killer in his twilight years can best illustrate this point. At the same time, it is also very anti-heroist. There is no such thing as a hero in this savage west. Everyone in the land tried their best to survive. The hero was always lucky. When Billy was chatting with the writer, he said that the Englishman Bob was completely lucky to kill his opponent. And the movie ends with William. After killing the first person with his double-barreled shotgun, he pointed the second shot at Little Billy. When the second shot was fired, the gun did not fire. At this time, Little Billy quickly took out the revolver, and shot one but it got stuck. , This gave William the opportunity to change guns and kill Little Billy. It’s ridiculous that half an hour before the movie, Little Billy was still talking about cowboy duel luck as a major factor. Half an hour later, Little Billy himself was very dramatic. And it was ironic that he died in this misfortune. In fact, when William fired the second shot with the double-barreled shotgun, Billy Young was already dead, but the second shot was not fired, causing Billy a moment. The opportunity to counterattack, the same is that Little Billy did not fire his second shot, which allowed William to take up this opportunity. Finally, William pointed a double-barreled shotgun at little Billy who was dying on the ground. William said, "I've always been the luckiest person." Little Billy said with this unwilling and sad expression: "See you in hell, then." In the last part of the movie, I might laugh coldly at that kind of American personal heroism, hero? It’s not always just that you’ve always been too lucky. Perhaps you will feel strongly that your fate is irreversible, and as long as the goddess of luck does not care for you for a moment, death will come to you immediately. Why is this film an anti-genre? Because it is inevitable that there will be heroism in American Western films, and the birth of "Unforgivable" overturned the concept of Western films in the past, it is rare for Hollywood to produce such Eastern and forbearing works, which sublimated the film to a new level. It's not just the realm of Westerns.
There are too many profound symbols and metaphors in the movie. The only thing I like is the "Yin Ren" in it. In fact, heroism has always been the main theme in American films, but the character of Yin Ren seems to be only in the East. It will appear, just feel that the movie has always conveyed a kind of thought to people, never underestimate your opponent, just like the cowboy on the train who provokes Bob the Englishman in the movie, his tone changes after he knows that he is the famous Englishman Bob I was terrified, and the defiant Englishman Bob went to Little Billy’s Big Whiskey Town but was humiliated by Little Billy’s town. He punched and kicked and didn’t even dare to resist. Killer William came to this town. He was treated the same as Bob the Englishman. Why didn’t both of them fight back? They weren’t afraid of death but they violated the most principled problem in cowboys, big whiskey. Guns are forbidden in the town and they all brought them here. There is no reason for him to fight back if he violated other people's rules. When little Billy thought that no one would be his opponent under his rule, the William who had been beaten up in the tavern was killed and taken away. His life, in this way, the movie once again made those who think they were superior to fall severely. And like William, who was used to living a bloody life but would rather choose a peaceful life, William came back and killed little Billy not because he was humiliated in front of him, because of his personal dignity for a person like him who no longer wants to cause trouble. It has been completely abandoned, but the cowboy has its own iron rules that cannot be violated by others. Once offended, you can beat me or scold me. I can bear it, but I will never allow you to move my friends or relatives.
There are too many hidden connotations in the film and there is a certain depth, it is difficult to have a comprehensive analysis, and the reason why the film is attractive is to break the rules of traditional western films, and to achieve relaxation in all aspects, human nature and morality, good and evil The vague concept, whether it is William Monney or Little Billy, they have done the wrong thing and killed the wrong person. From the perspective of the audience, a revolutionary assassin is far more disturbing than a villain sheriff in the cloak of justice. Sympathy, William Monney was a killer who killed people in the past and now only wants to live a stable life. He can't make up for the heinous crimes committed, and the sheriff of a small town in Little Billy abused his power to execute the killers with guns. The same was full of evil. When William walked out of the tavern after killing Bill, he said, "I'm going out now. If anyone dares to shoot, I will not only kill him but also his wife, kill his friends and burn him." Drop his house" Ruthless! It proves once again that there are no heroes in the west. I am just avenging my friends. I just stick to my principles and die for those who stand in my way. In fact, whether it's Billy Jr. or William Monnie, see you in hell.
