I have to say that it is indeed a good film. The director indirectly shows the history of that era in the United States through the struggle of two camps of gangsters for different ideas. The American Civil War, the same two camps, two concepts, population migration, melting pot phenomenon, race Discrimination against indigenous people and other social phenomena were all captured by director Ying through the fight between two gangs and finally developed to a climax. The gang fight was so powerless in the face of the orderly state armed machine and finally evolved into a two-person fight. When the grievances were divided, the riot finally ended. The protagonist buried his father's knife. New York is no longer in chaos. It develops day by day, symbolizing the era of simplicity and savagery. Slowly, it has been buried deep in New York, and an era will end with it.

Looking back at this film today, it is definitely Lao Ma's first-rate work. The depiction of details, first-class editing, stacked narrative processing, coupled with Day Lewis's wild performances all mark that this will be another milestone that will push the old horse into a contemporary film master. In Martin's own words, "This is a Western on Mars!"

This ending is about the American spirit, one after another liberation, rather than the accumulation of violence. The epic of hatred.
