very dark

This movie is so dark. I had a hunch that the footage was distorted at the beginning of the movie. Storytelling is one after another inscrutable series, how people fall into a darker, more distorted and self-destructive situation under the barrier of lack of trust. A small town in the desert is an inescapable destiny. The mistrust between people makes this cocoon tighter and tighter. Everyone perishes together, and no one can escape. The darkest part of the film is that there are several times when a bright realm is about to appear, and a new trap pops out to stifle the bud of a little bit of trust, and the film falls into a darker situation. How the trust of an outsider Babu was wiped out little by little, and how the trust of an endogenous rebel Luisa lost its fulcrum at the last moment. . . This spell-like story in the movie is desperate, but fortunately it's not like that :)

    It starts and ends with a song that seems to be the era of black and white movies It's a good day, and it's not until the end that I know who this good day is for. The occasional quick cut feels informative, and parts of the clips and endings as well as the soundtrack seem to be as allusions to some of America's disgraceful pasts as Kubrick's The Shining. The whole film presents a state of heat and excitement, even the cast and title of the title are the same, and the plot is also wave after wave. The signs on the roadside at the beginning and end of the movie are the same as the plot, full of lies and deceit. Also, the harmonica at the end is reminiscent of Cowboy Planet.

    Every time I watch this movie, I think of "Dog Town". Greed, fear, cruelty, doubt...even love, can be transformed into pure evil under certain circumstances. You think the car mechanic is a fool, but in fact he is a profiteer; you think the blind man is a wise man, but in fact he is a liar; you think the policeman is an angel of justice, but in fact he is a sex maniac... In the end, even the hero and heroine who are victims become murderers mad. How evil is human nature? Or how vulnerable?

U Turn quotes

  • Grace: I don't want to go to Mexico, Bobby. I want to stay with you. Don't you think I care about you?

    Bobby: I think you're a lying, backstabbing, psycho bitch... and one day you'll kill me. But it's nice to know you care.

  • Blind Man: Things ain't always what they seem. You gotta ask yourself: Is it worth it? Cause the day comes: The Earth Maker is gonna come down and look right in your fucking heart. And then you better know what it is you're doing. Are you a human being or just some hungry ghost out there?
