The first shot of the film is a vast grassland, herds of cows and horses, cowboys riding on horses, the most classic symbols of Westerns.
Released in 2003, Kevin Costner self-directed and self-directed, you know, his self-directed "Dances with Wolves" in 1990 was an unprecedented success.
Boss and his partner Charlie and two young workers were primitive western pioneers, raising cattle and horses, toiling and living in the water and grass, but the west was no longer a territory that could be freely traveled, and many places became pastures belonging to farmers, who inadvertently broke into other people's territory. Without warning, they were persecuted by the farmer and the sheriff who was bribed by the farmer, the worker Moss was shot and killed, and the 16-year-old Baden was seriously injured.
It is impossible to wait for a righteous enforcer in a remote town, uphold a common moral code, under the principle of fairness and openness, you are the enforcer, Boss and the farmer in the town to launch a fierce duel.
The result is naturally a victory for the righteous side, and the protagonist of a Western is never a simple cowboy, they have stories, experiences and abilities.
This film is the standard Western mode, the provincial white cowboy was threatened with violence, heroic resistance, in addition to the violence and good, the result of the annihilation of the enemy, the process will definitely be the gentle and pure girl at first sight, there is a long space to show the demeanor of the cowboy, set off the atmosphere of the movie.
When I first came into contact with Westerns, I was surprised by the simplicity and hardship of their lives, the Chinese nation has always paid attention to living and working in peace and contentment, while the western nomads have no place to live in the sky, and there is only one cloth to block the four sleeping bodies on a rainy night. Therefore, Westerns fully reflect the national character and spiritual tendencies of Americans.
The gunfight in the film is very realistic, the cowboys face each other, close to the direct war, primitive, savage, male hormone bursting.
Westerns make us understand that even if there are frequent shootings, the United States is unlikely to pass the gun ban bill. In the United States, human rights are paramount, and the government and law enforcement agencies can be protectors and easily become persecutors, so robbery is the last barrier for them to protect themselves.
