Wide-brimmed hats, tank tops, revolvers, and a horse are standard for cowboys in almost all Western movies.
Throughout the American Western movies, this kind of costume image has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, but compared to the appearance, what is more impressive is the uninhibited attitude and free figure of the cowboys, which is also the key to their fans around the world.
In fact, western movies and martial arts films are somewhat similar, cowboys are heroes, the west is martial arts, and breaking through martial arts relies on a body of courage and righteousness, so directors always like to show their heroism and chivalry.
However, the Western film that Pigo wants to introduce today is very different, it is not about heroes, but about scattered people.
The film's name is "The Heath Brothers", douban score 7.7, imdb 7.0, the film was nominated for the Golden Lion Award in the main competition unit of Venice.
The Heath Brothers 丨 2018
the sisters brothers
Director: Jacques Odia
Starring: John C. Reilly / Joaquin Phoenix / Jack Gyllenhaal / Ritz Ahmed / Carol Kane / Rutger Hal
Heath is actually a transliteration of the English word "sisters", which means sister, why isn't the title "sister brother"? Because the sisters here are actually a surname.
Unexpectedly, the cool cowboy brothers actually have such a "feminine" surname, but this is not blindly pursuing comedic effects, in fact, the name "Heath" has a lot of connotations, and listen to Pigo slowly.
The story takes place in Oregon in 1850, when the West is home to cowboys, and Heath is one of the inconspicuous brothers of many cowboys who work as killers for a mysterious commander.
The Heath brothers' father was an alcoholic, and his mother was an ordinary woman in the south.
The two brothers also inherited the characteristics of their parents: the elder brother Eli was like a mother, with a gentle and calm personality.
In addition to robbing the house, in order to save his horse, he can rush into the fire scene regardless of danger;
His greatest ideal was to abandon his identity as a killer and open a commissary; he was very interested in toothbrushes, toilets, and foreign dishes.
The younger brother, Charlie, is just the opposite, fierce and willful, and alcoholic.
He prides himself on being a killer, bent on replacing the commander, and even single-handedly kills a black bear.
But there is also a reason for the younger brother's personality, in order to resist the bullying of the mother and son by the drunkard's father, he personally killed his father when he was young, and his temperament has changed greatly since then.
But it is these two brothers who seem to have no speculation, but they have always been with each other, going south and north.
Their latest mission is to hunt down and kill a gold digger, Worm, who stole his own things for the commander.
So the brothers turned on their horses and embarked on a journey to San Francisco.
In addition to the Heath brothers, the Commander also sent his subordinate Morris to find Worm in advance, so that he could stop Worm and leave a message for Heath along the way.
As they travel south with the news left by Morris, the Heath brothers encounter a variety of people, and it is through these encounters that the friendship between the brothers is even more impressive.
During the day, Charlie always got so drunk that he couldn't even ride a horse normally, so Eli had to take the reins of his horse, but Eli never left his brother alone.
And when Eli falls ill because he accidentally ate a poisonous spider in his sleep, Charlie also stopped to take care of his brother.
In the tavern, the two will discuss their future plans together, although they will fight because of differences, and the younger brother even lets the older brother get out, but when the brother is angry and wants to quit, the younger brother pleads with him to stay.
The friendship between the two is different from the brotherhood of the western cowboys in the past, they seem to be more intimate, which may be why their surnames are designed as "sisters".
On this side, the Heath brothers are constantly tracking Morris and Worm, while on the other side Morris has defected.
It turned out that Worm was not a thief who stole the Commander's things, but a chemist.
It was only two years after California discovered the world-shaking gold mine, and the world was still frantic about this land that shone with gold.
Through his research, Worm invented a solution that allowed gold to "appear" in the river, which could easily pan for gold.
The reason why the commander pursued him was to get this secret recipe.
Moliss was not a heinous man, so he felt pity for Worm and eventually decided to turn his back on the Commander and join Worm's gold rush.
As a result, when the Heath brothers caught up with Morris, instead of killing Worm, they became Morris's prisoners.
In the end, they were also moved and decided to go gold panning together.
But in fact, Worm's formula is highly toxic and corrosive.
Pouring the solution into the river does make the gold glow, but it will burn the skin of the gold prospector.
In order to find more gold, several people frantically groped in the river, and as a result, Charlie was destroyed by the solution because of greed, and Worm was poisoned to death, and several people's gold panning dreams were shattered.
Without his right hand with a gun, Charlie could no longer be a killer, but in order to get rid of the commander's pursuit of them, they decided to return to Oregon to get rid of the commander, but just in time for the commander's funeral.
The killer's career is completely over, and the brothers finally choose to return to their mother's home in the south and start another peaceful life.
Unlike previous Westerns that blindly pursue tension and excitement, "The Brothers Hisstez" has a comedic style, although it also has a gun battle.
The Hisstes brothers are definitely atypical cowboys, they are fierce on the one hand, and they are confused about the future, the reason why they have been killers, the younger brother is because of the obsession with the father, the older brother is to take care of the younger brother, there is a little insincerity.
After watching the film, I even felt that it was a warm film.
Very special Western movies, recommend to everyone.
