I really like such a silent movie

"Robbers." 7 points. Works directed by John Lee Hancock. This buddy is the screenwriter of "Perfect World", which is an almost perfect film. The cast of "Robbers" is super strong, bringing together two big names, Kevin Costner and Woody Harrison. It's a pity that I couldn't see the box office of this film. I personally like this kind of silent movie very much. Two old mounted policemen who have been disbanded from the retired police force chase and kill the desperate mandarin duck gangsters. In the absence of monitoring, networking, and even laws that vary from state to state, it is indeed very difficult. The mission of the old mounted police is to directly kill the culprits without leaving a living. The hero is late but always strong, the vast and quiet land, the old mounted police, and the chic and even gangsters who are worshipped by everyone. Sometimes life is like this, there are contradictions. I really like it.

    In the movie, it is mainly to create a positive hero image. The two policemen originally planned to withdraw from the arena. They have killed many people with a heavy burden of self-reproach. But in the face of two lawless criminals, they still chose to stand up, not for fame and fortune, but to satisfy their inner sense of responsibility for the peaceful world they yearn for. The ridicule of greedy politicians, the greedy media, and the unrestrained public is done by the way.

    The background of three-and-a-half stars is the Great Depression period in the United States. The film shows this part of the characteristics, but it does not delve into the film's perspective is the police's perspective, there is a clear right and wrong, there is remorse for some ways of doing things, but not for what you do.

    [chuckles]

    Maney Gault: How many bullets you got in you?

    Frank Hamer: Hell I don't know... Sixteen I think.

    Maney Gault: [between spoonfuls] You know...

    [clears his throat]

    Maney Gault: Man can't PASS bullets through him like he can kidney stones?... might be GOOD to have a doctor look at you sometime.

    Frank Hamer: Might be good to have a doctor look at YOU sometime.

    Maney Gault: I ain't got no bullets in me.

    Frank Hamer: Because I was COVERING you.

    [Maney puts another spoonful of cake in his mouth, nods his head in agreement and smiles at Frank]
