The translation of the title of this film is bloody, the English name is real, true grit, and the literal translation is true bravery. To extend it in conjunction with the content of the film, you can borrow Lu Xun's "true warrior". Most of the pictures of the Coen brothers are outliers and losers, but they have their own feelings and aspirations. On the surface, they are not in the mainstream, but they actually have noble qualities. Although they are vulgar in life, they are relatively good. The theme of this film is courage. Matti bravely takes revenge for his father, the frustrated court executor and another policeman chase the murderer for money, and fight to the death with the outlaws who sell alcohol and rob.

    This film educates us again: 1. If you want to kill, don't talk so much nonsense, which will only leave others with the opportunity to fight back; 2. After subduing a person, you must tie it with a rope, otherwise it will leave others with a chance to fight back. Revenge, justice, and protection of the strong and weak are the usual routines of Western movies. No wonder that Western movies are now declining, because there are no heroes in this era, but all kinds of freaks with unique skills.

    A retro and innovative western movie! As a western film, it is full of black humorous verbal warfare, and anti-traditional elements of feminization and de-heroism, but the spirit throughout the film can still maintain the fearlessness of the western style. In addition to the wonderful performance of the actors, Roger Deakins, the old partner of the Coen brothers, his photography and mirroring is the soul of the film.
