The seven episodes are nearly eight hours, and they gather all the elements and pain points that should be in Western movies, including: born heroes, prodigal sons and widows, growth through father killing, lonely self-salvation, as well as gun battles, gun battles, and many gun battles. And hormones mixed with the smell of horse dung. The advantage of TV series compared with movies is that they also describe the prodigal son rushing into the boundless world in the rainstorm. The latter cannot give the magnificent American West a magnificent eight-minute long shot. The title is godless, but almost every plot can be mapped from the Bible, from the birth of the manger to the Three Kingdoms to the home of the prodigal son to Mary Magdalene... Only one thing: everything in the small town of La Belle A mature man died in a mine disaster, and all the women in the town became widows overnight. In an anti-Noah's Ark city, in the huge sea of Xumi, how does the Almighty Lord save them? Scott Frank, who loves tough western movies, gave his own answer: the priest who was absent when the disaster was approaching, did not appear until the smoke cleared after the war, and the beauties in Beauty Town mounted their guns to repel the powerful enemy. They can save themselves, and where is the need? What kind of grace? Godless went on to go, but it was actually Manless. Without Clyde, Bonnie and Bonnie could spend the rest of their lives together. There are four character lines: Frank Griffin, the self-proclaimed robber leader, Bill McNue, the drunk and depressed sheriff, Roy Goode, the mysterious lone gunman, and the unknown beautiful widow Alice Fletcher. The four lines revolve around the relationship between father and son but better than father and son. The Greek classical grievances between Frank and Roy unfold. Regrettably, whether it is Frank’s self-destruction, Bill’s self-realization, or Roy’s self-exile, men have a full spiritual core commensurate with the vast space, while the widow Alice confined to the farm is more like a reception fatigue The lounge for warriors and frustrated heroes provides men with fantasy, rest, comfort, education, and sex. Her beauty, wisdom, arrogance, tenacity, tolerance... are all like flowers on butter, beauty is beautiful, lacking soul. To say that Godless is feminist and dressed in a western film is somewhat arbitrary, genre or period drama, I don’t know which one is restricted. Although women play most of the leading roles in this drama, in the real plot performance, they still haven’t escaped. The shackles of gender.
