Brief strokes

Korean costume westerns, 70 years before the "good guy, bad guy, weird guy" three people fighting each other, with double swords and long swords, fighting for a meal. The two scenes of the film are based on the setting sun hanging in the air, spanning a long and falling world, and depicting a group of bloody and reckless thieves.
There are many characters in the film. There are six Jiiri Bandit masters who appear as a group image alone, plus the butcher who was forced into the grass in the middle and the noble son who lost his identity. Each character can be outlined in a play. The character has outstanding characteristics, which shows that the script is solid and the structure is controlled. But I personally think that the film's portrayal of the villain is obviously better than that of gang thieves. Whether it's Zhao Run's son subduing the butcher with a folding fan, or his emotional savings and finally killing his father, both sadness and poison are well written, and he is the most full and comprehensive character.
The whole film consists of five acts, which just divides the five stages of the dramatic story. The turning point of the fourth act is the drama of the anti-traditional narrative, the villain is the starting point of the climax of the tragedy. The fifth act returns to the simple structure of "One Minute Rescue", but the director chooses to let a peasant instead of a thief kill the enemy, which not only means that the people can overturn the boat, but also shows that the whole film is always tireless in expounding the truth. The people are the people, and the division is the robbery.”
