Regarding the detailed analysis, allusion index, and overall narrative of this film, the top film critics have already said all the beautiful words and important information points. After reading it, it was quite touched. Adding repetition seems to be only nonsense, but for For the love of this film (for the author, this film is the real art, and even makes people sleepless all night), I still do not worry about doing some continuation of the work of the predecessors, for the time being Talking about the small details that have not been mentioned, the light flashes interestingly throughout the film.
(I want to add more, update from time to time, if there is something wrong, please correct me)
1.the ballad of Buster Scruggs deja vu town
This classic and beautiful town is located on Melody Farms in California, and is a popular filming location for many westerns
This familiar bar, familiar piano (will it also play automatically?), Western fans, let me hear you screaming! ! !
2. The mystery of the magical calculation of meal tickets
Many people are confused as to why that sacred chicken counts. In fact, its principle is very simple. Similar to Freud, through the establishment of the conditioned reflex of the sound of the bell and the position of the chicken pecking the sign, it can train the deadly calculating sacred chicken. , There are obvious close-up hints in the movie, as shown in the figure
3. Vague front and back echoes
What I said may be a bit far-fetched, but this complete experience is connected and looming among the six stories, and the looming front and back echoes throughout the entire film. The author will give just one example-
Pay attention to this fat man playing cards, sitting on the left side of the buster and gambling
It looks like an authentic Frenchman
In the sixth story, The Mortal Remains sits on the leftmost side of the three-person row
I'm also French, and also mentioned playing cards, and I feel like it! He was unwilling to play cards for others, saying "I can't bet for you, why? Because I can't understand you to this level"' and the first story said "It's too late, you have already seen the cards". It is an interesting set of rhetoric about the art of gambling.
Also, pay attention to the old man’s lyrics "Why are you wrapped up in flannel so white"
The deceased in the first part is also in white "flannel" (the material of the clothes may not be flannel), but I firmly believe that this is an interesting response, so I might as well talk about it.
4. Constantly changing rhetoric
From 1:55:00 to 1:56:30, the color of the sky and the color of the whole film changed from a hopeful warm color to a terrifying gray-blue color. The most strange thing is that the whole car seems to be unaware of it, and they are talking. There is no abnormality in the conversation and expression transmission, this is the most chilling part of the whole play.
Especially in the three-person conversation between 1:50:00 and 2:00:00, as long as you pay attention to the be verb, you will find that the be verb is the past tense of was and were. This is also dead for the three. The hint of is, occasionally, the appearance of is will change the word to was without changing the face. When you know this, you can carefully examine the gaze of the old woman and the old man in a daze. You will find a kind of naked despair and unspeakable pain. .
