first fragment

In the first story, the director used audiovisual elements to create a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere. First of all, the director used the breaking of the fourth wall to express the male protagonist's contempt for everything incisively and vividly. Secondly, the director put the camera into the guitar, shot the protagonist's hand strumming from the hole, and matched the protagonist's singing, which made the audience feel very relaxed and happy. Finally, when the protagonist is dueling with other people, a large number of long-range lenses are used to shoot the opponent, which reflects the contempt for others and the arrogance of the protagonist.

    There is really no one who has the potential to draw long films. Besides, with so many stories accumulated, it is impossible to make so many long films in this life, so let's just take it all in one pot. Personally, I like the first story that is the happiest and most ridiculous, followed by the fifth story about the history of the girl wandering on the grassland. The fourth adaptation of Jack London's short story "Golden Valley" starring Tom Waits is the least Coen brothers style. In addition, the second ballad Çurly Joe in the first story, adapted from the classic cowboy song Little Joe the Wrangler, is similar to our cowboy Wang Erxiao, the lyrics are about a joining cowboy The orphans of the group, doing the physical work of adults, finally stumbled and fell to their death in the chaos. On the whole, although they are all labeled as the Coen Brothers, I don't think it has been made into a "Director's Choice Album" like "Children of Jianghu".

    This coolness decreases from front to back. The first two stories are very powerful, the viewers are happy and the parties are mourning, and they are very impressed by Cohen. What impressed me the most and felt the most complete was the story of the old gold digger and the woman in the caravan. Both stories used a lot of pen and ink to explain the environment and make the cause and effect especially complete. So very sad to see. The most speechless is the last one. It ended like this. I'm inexplicably upset. If it didn't end like this, I might give another star. Might revisit these last high-density conversations.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs quotes

  • Buster Scruggs (segment "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs"): There's just gotta be a place up ahead where men ain't low-down and poker's played fair. If there weren't, what are all the songs about? I'll see y'all there. And we can sing together and shake our heads over all the meanness in the used-to-be.
