Wen | movie life, Charlie can't surf
Since Mr. Toki unveiled the true face of the bloody violence of Westworld in "Unforgivable", it seems that there have been no more facial hero characters in westerns since then.
The protagonist in "Django Rescued" is a black slave and a glass heart bounty hunter, the protagonist in "No Man's Land" is an unscrupulous lawyer with a bad face, and in "A Million Ways to Die in the West", the protagonist is instigated to defeat the big boss by poisoning. And the male protagonist of "Western Slow Tone" wrote a legend of dog blood that sent people's heads thousands of miles. This setting brings a fuller character image and a richer storyline.
"Decisive Battle of Yuma Town" brought to you today is such a film.
Dan Evans, a farmer who fought in the Civil War and unfortunately lost a leg, lives with his family on a farm in Arizona. Because the money owed was not returned on time, the farmer's stable was burned down by the creditor. Also destroyed was the eldest son's trust in the farmer and the stability of the family.
The next day, the farmer and his son were on their way to drive cattle when the notorious robber Ben Wade and his men, Charlie, and others looted a cash truck. The robber drove away the farmer's cattle in order to intercept the cash truck, so the farmer stood up and demanded his cattle from the robbers. In order to prevent the farmer from going to the town to call the police, the robbers took the farmer's horse and left the farmer's cattle.
The only surviving dart master in the procession of the cash truck, the farmer and his son, sent the dart master to the town, while the robbers were being hunted down. The farmer accidentally encounters the robbers again in the town, so he drags the robbers down on the grounds of demanding compensation and buys time for the police.
Eventually the robbers were arrested and the police decided to take him to the town of Yuma and hang him. The farmer also volunteered to join the escort team, while demanding a $200 payment from the sheriff.
Ben Wade was a notorious robber with god-like marksmanship who was abandoned by his parents from an early age. After robbing a procession of cash trucks in the wilderness, he went to the town tavern to share the loot and fell in love with the tavern waitress at first sight. But the other party refused his request to elope with him. The robbers were later successfully arrested by the sheriff and others at the tavern, and organized personnel to take him to the town of Yuma to be tortured.
Along the way, the robbers, while in handcuffs, killed the scoundrel and the dart master responsible for escorting him. But the farmer was saved at the gunpoint of the Indians.
Eventually, the farmer and his party came to Kentashin, where they waited for the train to Yuma. At this time the robber's men came to rescue the robber, and his escort saw that the situation was fleeing, and only the farmer insisted on staying behind to take the robber to the train to the town of Yuma.
The farmer stayed because he firmly believed that the world needed justice, but also to prove to his son that his father was not a wreck, to re-establish his son's trust in himself, to maintain his family, his affection, these things that others could not understand.
All this was seen by the robbers. From the first time he met the farmer, when the farmer stood up to him and asked him for cattle, he felt that the farmer was different, so he did not kill him.
As a person who has been abandoned by his family since childhood, the loneliness in his heart is self-evident, and he strives to make himself strong, strong enough to control everything. But even then he was still lonely, and he longed to find someone as strong as he was to dissolve his loneliness. He felt in the farmer an understood sense of justice and an understood sense of family responsibility, which the robber could never have.
In this way, the robbers had a feeling of pity for the farmer. In order to help the farmer rebuild his son's trust in him, the robbers cooperate with the farmer and run to the train station amid the guns of Charlie and the others.
In the end, the farmer successfully puts the robber on the train, but is shot from behind by Charlie. The sense of belonging that the robber had just found shattered in an instant, and in exasperation, he jumped off the train and shot everyone under his command. At this moment, the life of the robber has been sublimated, and he has jumped on the train to the town of Yuma again...
The film stars Christian Bell (the farmer) and Russell Crowe (the robber). This film has a fierce gunfight that occurs in traditional Westerns, and at the end of the film, Bell opens and hangs like a hundred enemies to satisfy the audience's visual enjoyment. At the same time, this film also portrays the protagonist's heart through a large number of details, leaving the audience with a certain space for thinking.
