Good thing it's a movie about ?, otherwise it's nothing

There are three shortcomings. First, the theme is vague. Is the soul of man and horse attributable to self-salvation, or is it accusing wild horses of domestication and deprivation of liberty? I can see that the two theme directors want to talk about it, but they only scratch the surface. Second, the relationship between her and her daughter is simply wonderful. On the first side, her daughter is cowardly, on the second side she becomes strong again, on the third side she becomes disdainful, and the auction is not present, so what is the purpose of paving the way for a large part of the auction ? In the end, he reconciled for no reason, and how did he know that he didn't want to go out at all? Third, you will find that removing the line of inmates being killed and drug smuggling has no impact on the story at all. What is it used to illustrate? Contrast that some people are kind-hearted and some people are tired of teaching and do not change? This is far from the theme, and the estrangement is too deep. And finally, the Indian owner of the first horse sold at the auction showed his mood when he parted with his friend. The way he handled it showed that the director's skills were really limited. Horse-themed movies have always been more likable, but unfortunately, there are too many loopholes in this plot. At first glance, I was reluctant to part with it, but I disliked it in every detail. Maybe I felt that such a good theme was wasted.

    In almost all stories about man and horse, we can find the relationship between man and land (father). It is also a delicate observation from a female perspective. This work with a broad pattern and rich layers is neither like Zhao Ting's "Knight" nor like Bagno's "Horse Race", which only focuses on the healing of individual injuries. The film begins with the conflict between human activity and Wild Horses, as well as the contrast between modern technology and primitive nature. The male protagonist is not only a beast deprived of his freedom by power (desire to control), but also a person whose hands and feet are bound by power (desire to conquer). For this reason, the central question that this work poses to the audience is how we will coexist with nature/world/animals/people, and why we must domesticate and conquer our own stupidity.

    The movie is quite ordinary, but the story is thought-provoking... The process of training a horse and the collision of human nature.

The Mustang quotes

  • Psychologist: You've been in isolation. What do you think about that?

    Roman: I'm not good with people.

  • Martha: When I was six, I, uh, started to write letters of support to your parole board. But your parole was always denied, so I thought it was my fault that you were still in prison, because I wasn't a good enough writer. Then, when I got older, I understood. You didn't want to get out. So I stopped writing. I kept one of those letters. "My dad is fun. Send him back home".
