In fact, today is still the Wild West World

During the epidemic last year, there was panic and depression around the world. Isolation and closing of stores made people feel upset and irritable. The film seems to send a bottle of water to the hungry traveler. It feels good, but the film review has not been written.

The western part of the nineteenth century was wild and wild, so why not the world today? Although there are no horse thieves and robbers, there are viruses, capital, and market competition. The horse thieves and robbers in the new era only wear decent coats. The revolver is replaced with capital and custom game rules, but it is more decent and more efficient. It's just plundering.

How to survive in this savage world? The film provides an answer through a pair of desolate groups of young and old: we can still face this savage world with kindness, warmth and hope, although it is so sad and helpless.

The film and "Unforgivable", "Thunder from the Ground", and "Send the Countryman" are a routine, let's call it Western Realism for the time being. In this real West, the director no longer pays attention to and interprets the fictional cowboy heroes of the last century who shoot at each other without drawing a gun. Instead, they return to life and show the western life of the ordinary people, which is equally infectious.

The film's release time is indeed quite good. It was a period of disaster that swept the world. In this virus-ridden world, the film at least gave everyone a little warmth and hope. In fact, it is this little hope that human beings have walked from the jungle cave to the present!

    Seeing Paul and Hanks might have been too much to expect. As far as this lineup goes, the story is pretty flat.

    The other side of the west, as a road movie is okay, but it's just okay
