It's not that I don't understand, the world is changing fast

It seems that the translation of the movie's title is wrong, which has delayed many English-speaking audiences.

This film has nothing to do with Lao Wuwu at all, but it should mean that Lao Bangzi can't keep up with the situation and his death is imminent. Knowing this, you will find that a lot of content design in the movie is very clever. This movie is so good because it sticks to the theme.

Although the theme is not complicated, the seemingly endless gunfights and hiding in the play are helping you. The audience, over and over again, gets rid of the old westerns' routines:

1. Westerns are often about punishing evil and promoting good. Although cowboys are violent, they are supported by certain principles and spiritual strength. They have the loyalty of their buddies, their words are counted, and they are tender when they see women.… But the devil in this film does not have such a principle. He decides people's life and death not through the brain. He uses a coin and the other catches what is what. You think the shop owner is dead, but he guessed right, and the devil let him go. You think it's possible for a woman to guess right and survive, but the result is unexpected. Think about it again, isn't he the Grim Reaper in Bergman's "Seven Seals"? It's just that the Seven Seals play chess to decide fate, and he flips a coin. .

2. The positive characters of the Western films are one foot high and one foot high, and they end up tit-for-tat and fighting to the death to decide the outcome. In this film, the devil is one foot tall and the devil is two feet tall. Dao is just busy beside him, drinking coffee and reading newspapers, and he doesn't get involved at all. Finally, the old policeman came out. There should be at least one head-to-head confrontation, or the old policeman fought a bloody battle and won a big victory. The result was not. After a long time, they didn't even meet each other, and the old policeman ended up being retired. It was said that there was something wrong with the retirement. In fact, it was the old policeman who missed the god of death, and he felt the god of death was approaching.

3. Do you think that the devil will be punished by God for his bad deeds, let him crash into a car and die, but he actually climbed out of the car and swaggered away. Seeing this time, I became more clear, he is the god of death, there is no logic in sending others to die; but he himself is not dead, no one can make the god of death die, so everyone will turn pale when they talk about him, Including the old police.

4. What do you think...there are countless others that you think. As long as you've seen some Westerns, you'll feel that way. As a result, what you feel is also in vain. So in the end, the old clappers could only bow their heads and admit defeat: it's not that I don't understand, the world is changing fast.

If you think you come and go, you don’t feel right in the end, it doesn’t matter. But you have to let go of your feelings in time, be willing to hand over the fate of the characters to God, and don't worry about letting justice defeat the god of death. If you refuse to be brainwashed, you are hopeless.

If you think this movie is about the old and nowhere to go, and after watching it, you are still struggling to figure out where to go, it means you are already an old man, and you should file a retirement report immediately. Hey-hey

    The creation of a meaningful atmosphere, unique production techniques, and leisurely lens language... Sure enough, the Coen brothers have collected all previous director skills and a natural masterpiece!

    The murderer succeeded in explaining what it means to be strong without desire. People with desire are lambs to be slaughtered...

Anyway, first one I don't remember too well but it was about meeting him in town somewhere, he's gonna give me some money. I think I lost it. The second one, it was like we was both back in older times and I was on horseback goin' through the mountains of a night. Goin' through this pass in the mountains. It was cold and there was snow on the ground and he rode past me and kept on goin'. Never said nothin' goin' by. He just rode on past... and he had his blanket wrapped around him and his head down and when he rode past I seen he was carryin' fire in a horn the way people used to do and I could see the horn from the light inside of it. 'Bout the color of the moon. And in the dream I knew that he was goin' on ahead and he was fixin' to make a fire somewhere out there in all that dark and all that cold, and I knew that whenever I got there he would be there. And then I woke up...
