Clint Eastwood is 91 years old this year, and people of this age are struggling to walk the corners in the morning and evening, and he is still active in the film industry without losing.
In 2021, The old Toki is still directing a tough guy Western, a border road movie from Mexico to the United States.
The Crying Man
It's about an old cowboy commissioned by his boss to bring back an adolescent child from Mexico.
Mediocre road movie, the story is not new, more importantly, Dongmu's body can no longer withstand the Jingo iron horse, the biggest action in the whole film, is that he hammered a strong man with a punch.
With this punch, Toki almost fell on his own.
No way, no one can beat time.
Fortunately, the movie is not a purely manual work. Since you can't use force, you can only walk the heart, and it is also okay to take a kidney occasionally.
Road movies are bound to soul redemption, and I think there is nothing wrong with it. Mike, played by Toki, lost his wife and son many years ago, and his life has long been meaningless, and he is tired of being in a wine can all day.
Perhaps because he still has the use value of being a cowboy, his boss has been giving him some small jobs to make ends meet.
This also saved Mike's half life, otherwise this once brilliant cowboy would have died in the stables.
The boss's new task, let him bring back his son from Mexico, Mike did not have to choose, which is also a return of human feelings.
So a man, trembling, drove out of the border.
The process of finding the boss's son is not troublesome, and the young man is young. Rebellious and brainless, he is willing to follow Mike to the United States. After all, he had nothing to linger on in Mexico except for the big rooster.
And his mother, who only cares about her own happiness, does not ask him.
One old and one young are lightly armed, and there are some twists and turns on the road, but not big.
This makes the film a bit boring, although it also sets some travel obstacles, but in the end there is no way to burst too much passion in the limited conditions and the old body.
Therefore, the redemption of the soul becomes the inevitable choice of the film, and it can even be said to be the only choice.
But the film doesn't really exaggerate The pain of Mike's loss of his wife and children, but mainly about something that is inevitable for anyone.
That is, how to live in your later years.
The choice given in the film is that old Mike comes to a village on his way home and meets a sexy widow who runs a restaurant...
Yellow sand, sunsets, and wild horses waiting for him to tame, this... What else to go to the United States?
Staying here and dying here is the best ending of his life!
After taking his boss's son to the border, Mike returns alone to the village that is best for burying his life.
In addition to feeling the desolate desert again, Higashiki can probably say that he is still determined to face the beauty and eat.
In the past few years, Almost all of Toki's works can feel his acceptance and resistance to the twilight years.
Works of art are still powerful. Even if you can't swing your fist or lift a shotgun, the wildness that a man can nibble on raw meat can still be passed on to off-screen audiences.
As one of the actors and directors we know best, Clint Eastwood's films are really one less to watch.
Especially at his age, the works he made at this age are perhaps the most valuable things in his film art career.
Because it will inevitably touch on the eternal theme of life, we can still look forward to clint Eastwood's next movie and the next movie!
