Anomaly of Westerns

The male protagonist becomes a lonely hero because of the betrayal and separation of relatives, not a natural loner

It is not the male protagonist who takes revenge, but the villain, and the one who breaks into the town is also the villain, but the male protagonist is the one who is avenged

Movie time and actual linear narrative time are about the same

The prodigal girl ran away without being disciplined. The Virgin broke out with amazing fighting power and rescued the male protagonist. In the westerns filled with male hormones, the centrality of male power was shaken.

The ending is not that the prodigal son stops occasionally and continues to move forward, but that he finds himself unable to change the environment and then self-exiles.

However, the last male protagonist all spikes one by one is fixed

If there is no platform lens in front, there is a feeling that Miller is McGurphy for a while

It's a bit similar to the Republic of China film "Dark Doubtful Cloud". There are so many appetites in front of it. It will be revealed at the end, but this is desolate, and "Dark Doubtful Doubt" is boring.

"Innovation enhances the experience that audiences expect, not fundamentally change it"

Less emphasis on dialogue with previous works of art, more emphasis on dialogue with reality

    As an anti-western film, it reveals all the internal contradictions of the western film. The conflict between the hero of the West and the civilized community. In the community, either people who hate him or those who are grateful to him but think that his current existence is in the way. The biggest ideal of the community is like the ending of all westerns. The hero kills the bad guys, and then the hero himself rides far away. The wife as a family asks the hero to put down the gun

    A villain who was brought to justice brought his henchmen back to the town to take revenge. The main target was the old sheriff. At this time, it was the sheriff's wedding day. He should have escaped, but he chose to come back and face the town. The people on the gang avoided the sheriff and no one helped the sheriff. In the end, with the help of his wife, he successfully killed the villain, and he also ruthlessly dropped the sheriff badge he once cherished and left the town with his wife.
