black thorn

At the beginning of the story, Blackthorn is very old, he is sitting alone in the boarding house, writing to the "son" he has never met, in fact he himself does not know whether Ryan is his son, so his signature Just your uncle Butch. At the beginning of the story, he was no longer the man who galloped on horseback, surrounded by many entourages, and his best friends and beauties were all around. He was young, strong, energetic, and strong. Before, he personally sent away his partner who was born and died, and the woman they loved together also fell ill and died. The era of all-powerful happiness and enmity has long been a distant past. Even he himself is just a living dead, incognito, living alone in the world. Among the Indians, they lived in seclusion and could not communicate with others. They thought they would be so boring and dull until they died of old age, so they chose to return to their hometown to find their only relatives.

With such a beginning, it is destined that "Black Thorns" will not be a majestic western film, it will not be a lively opening and closing with gunshots and killings, it will not have lofty ambitions and sincerity, and it will not be wise and courageous competition. In fact, if Black Thorn hadn't had the misfortune to bump into the innocent-looking young offspring on the way home, if he hadn't dismounted out of curiosity to inspect the dead horse on the road, this story would never have been saddened later. The ending of the story goes away, and Black Thorn will return to the United States with his 6,000 US dollars of private wealth, reunite with Ryan, rely on the relationship between father and son or uncle and nephew, and spend his peaceful old age. He will no longer shoot innocent people, he will no longer witness the death of his lover, and he will never suffer deception and betrayal that are intolerable to anyone with hope in his heart.

If he is still a prime-age Butch, maybe he will feel that deception and betrayal are normal in life. Whoever deceives me and betrays me, I will take revenge and go back. It is neat and clear, and the pain is only a moment, and it will be revenge soon. replaced by pleasure. But he is old, he has gone through too much, and he is tired and tired. He never thought that he would have a life-threatening friendship in his old age, and gain a precious friend from the crisis. He thought he still had such luck, The dull and boring days can still taste the new excitement because of the passion of the young man in his prime.

At first, it was just a transaction. The Spaniard asked him to help him escape from the pursuit. The reward he asked for was to share half of the $50,000 that the Spaniard stole from the mine owner to make up for the $6,000 of property he lost. The Spanish young man claimed to be an engineer in the mine, and was hunted down for stealing the unscrupulous money his boss earned by squeezing the miners. Blackthorn agreed, and the wonderful combination of one old and one young began their journey. Blackthorn did not expect that the beginning of a transaction would be the beginning of a friendship. They keep each other's secrets, but they can't resist the emotions that most easily breed between people at the juncture of life and death.

Eduardo was taught by the black thorns, "You owe me every step I take without a horse, you owe me every hour I have no water to drink, and you owe me the first time I saw you. Booming your ass" with a small look of reason, he will always be at a disadvantage in the face of Blackthorn's poisonous tongue, and he laughs at himself when he finds out that he has been deceived after being tricked by Blackthorn to say that there is no bullet in the barrel, and Blackthorn helps him treat saddle sores , he is almost as dependent on Blackthorn as he is on his father (without Blackthorn he doesn't even dare to run away by himself), they talk about his family background in Blackthorn's hut, what he shows about the death of Blackthorn's lover Guilt, all of this made me, as an audience, characterize him as a young man who is not deep in the world and a little stunned, and thus deeply doubted how he was motivated and able to complete the big business of stealing 50,000 US dollars. After all, he doesn't seem to have anything to do with insidious cunning.

This is really a sad story. The Spaniard Eduardo Noriega completed the task of the second scumbag with a pure face. I thought he was stupid, but the audience was deceived by his simple and stupid appearance. He became the biggest variable in the tone of the film. But in fact, he is neither cunning nor ruthless, and he is not wary of black thorns. If the miners revolted to overthrow the mine owner and make the mine change owner as everyone knew, why would he think he would Can you cover up the black thorns, and the lies will not be exposed? Or does he have no judgment on the moral bottom line of Black Thorn, thinking that money can settle his conscience? They are not strangers who have only met once, but have experienced the most dangerous moments together, and he should have a sufficient understanding of what kind of person Blackthorn is. But he didn't. He leisurely rested on the way to escape. When he woke up, he saw the black thorns and treated him as always, unknowingly facing the enemy who came to claim his life. Maybe he felt right, he still stole the miners' money. The mines had already been emptied when the miners' uprising was successful. Naturally, the money he stole would not become the miners' money just because the mines changed owners. Although at the source it was indeed the miners' hard-earned money. At best, he is a speculator, an adventurer, and he is greedy for profit, but he is not heinous, so bad is unforgivable.

It's a pity that too many lives have been involved in this escape and pursuit, and Blackthorn's hand has been stained with the blood of innocents again. He has no room for mercy to Eduardo, who must pay the price for his actions. His precious new friendship soon fell apart, leaving him with nothing but pain and regret in this last thrilling episode of his life.

Martyrs in their twilight years are full of courage. And the hero Ulysses, after years of wandering in the waves of the sea, is tired of miracles and longs to return to his rustic and lush hometown of Ithaca. Where's Blackthorn, where is his Ithaca? Everyone is reluctant to be silent, everyone yearns for a magnificent life, and longs to be the protagonist of a certain legend and heroic legend, but everyone will yearn for their own Ithaca. But then, will we be able to go back?

The white salt marshes and the wild plateau are infinitely vast between heaven and earth. The love, hatred and hatred of a person's life, and the magnificent waves, may be just a ray of wind passing between heaven and earth.

    The desolation of the west, the mellowness of the old cowboy, the whole story flows slowly, like a bottle of fine wine that has been kept in dust for many years, bit by bit moisturizing me, who doesn't like Western movies. Looking at the many companions of the protagonist Black Thorns at the end, I was very emotional.
