1/ Storytelling

A screenwriter who tells a story will tell an ordinary story so engaging, wonderful, and lingering that it is thought-provoking.

1. A father "Dan" who was crippled by his own stray bullets during the retreat was prudent and self-disciplined, but he was always a loser. He hopes to solve temporary economic problems and become a hero in the hearts of children through this escort of Wade.
He failed until the end, but he moved Ben Wade and made Wade willing to help him finish the scene.

2. A father who died early, was abandoned by his mother, and became a demon who killed countless people in order to survive: Ben Wade. For a farmer, kill his brother to save himself, and complete spiritual redemption.

3. A child of a poor farmer who did not understand his father, when he met the children of Chinese workers, his eyes had a hint of happiness. He complained that his father was too cautious and unfamiliar. After being involved in danger, he finally understood his father and completed his growth. In other words, if it wasn't for the guidance of his father, this bear child must be the next Wade.

2/ Human nature

There is an angel and a demon in the depths of everyone's soul.
What's great about Wade is his mastery of human nature. The dialogue with everyone in it is a process of inducing their human nature game.
1. Wade will make up a story when he sees a woman, saying that she has green eyes and breaks through the psychological defense. Creating traps one after another for what women want to hear most and what they want most, even Dan's wife shows a kind of shake.

2. In Wade's conversation with the guard, the guard said that he had also been a cruel "murderer" in order to protect himself. And suggest to those around you that justice is just an excuse most of the time.

3. The people in the town became Charlie's helpers for money, and the two policemen withdrew for this, but they were killed anyway. Wade said to give Dan more money, Dan also thought about it, but still refused, because Dan hoped that the payment he got was clean, which saved him, otherwise, the fate of the police is probably also the fate of Dan. In fact, Dan at this time is already a hero in Wade's heart.

3/ Acting
For a drama film with no special effects, the focus is on the major acting schools.
Bell, Russell, Logan, and Foster are all absolute strengths. They are all masters who can support the whole movie by one person. Everyone can play a role independently and make a role flesh and blood, and there are several difficulties in it.

1. The scene in which Logan saw the children of Chinese workers, the expression of his eyes.

2. Charlie killed Dan, and Wade took the gun. Charlie, who knew him, was surprised that something was wrong, and immediately drew the gun and was killed by Wade.

Of course, there are also many shortcomings, so I won't explain them in detail. I recommend everyone to take a look, because the overall feeling is still good.

    20130228jtl Hollywood Westerns are like the Chinese martial arts dream, and everyone has their own Western. The West I imagined should be black and white, and the protagonist is brave and has excellent marksmanship. But apparently the director of the film didn't think so. A beautiful beginning, the story is laid out in an orderly manner, but in the ten minutes of the climax, it suddenly collapsed, and the true character of the weak appeared. In the West, you can sympathize with each other, but you don't need sympathy. 3.5

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.
