William Laney was once a notorious and unscrupulous thief and murderer . . But since he married the beautiful Claudia and had two children, he decided to turn his back on evil and live a normal life. Soon after his wife fell ill and died, he took his two children with him to run a hog farm outside Kansas, where he raised them with his own hard work.
Two cowboys cause a disturbance in a Wyoming saloon, and one of them cuts a prostitute's face with a knife. The brothel owners want to hang the cowboys, but Sheriff "Little Bill" Daggett makes them pay for seven horses. The prostitutes were so angry that they offered a $1,000 reward for the deaths of the two cowboys.
The "Schofield Kid" comes to Lenny to take him out. At first, Lenny promised his wife that he would never get involved in the world again, so he didn't want to get involved in any more crime. However, in order to make his young children live a rich life, Lenny decided to return to his old profession and take part in this killing action. "The Scofield Kid, Lenny, and Lenny's old partner Ned Logan chase the two cowboys to the Grand Canyon, where they are killed. Unfortunately, Logan was captured by "Little Bill" Daggett's men and tortured to death.
Lenny was furious when he saw Logan's body outside the bar. He killed "Little Bill" Daggett to avenge his friend's death. As he left, he warned Bill's men: "If anyone shoots me, I'm going to kill all his friends and family and burn down their homes and property. You'd better not disfigure prostitutes or hurt them, or I'll come back and kill you all one by one."
Lenny finished the bloody job, collected the bounty, and took his two children with him on a business trip to San Francisco.
"Unforgiven" Review
The film Unforgiven is a 1993 film directed by Clint Eastwood. It is also the 10th western he has made. The film won four gold statuettes, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor, and Best Film Editing, in the race for the 65th Academy Awards in 1993, calling it another triumph of the Western.
But unlike previous Westerns, the movie can be said to have completely shattered the myth of the traditional Western hero. The movie is filled with confessional pathos. Several of the characters in the movie are also tragic figures, each burdened with inescapable sins and bad luck. The world of traditional westerns is often black and white, with loyalty and treachery pitted against each other, and good always triumphing over evil. However, in the movie Unforgiven, the boundaries between right and wrong, good and evil are blurred, with each carrying their own sins and violence being the ultimate force to solve everything. The director presents the American West as a dark world where the weak are the strong and the strong are the prey of the strong, where the darkness of human nature is exposed to the fullest extent. This makes the movie achieve a strange artistic effect, and has the power to make people think y.
The film retains the violent catharsis of previous Westerns, but also has a melancholy tone. The hero's heavy guilt and nostalgia for his wife cast a gray mood over the film. The movie is filled with gun battles and murders, but they complement the storyline and blend very successfully.
Kim Hackman, who plays a police officer, won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for this movie. He added to his list of accolades with his charismatic performance. Clint Eastwood, who played the lead role of Munny, failed to win Best Actor, but his performance was equally remarkable. He won the Best Director award for this movie, and also held the Best Picture award in his hands. This was Eastwood's first Academy Award since the movie. It's a shame that he didn't get to wear the Oscar, but the two statuettes, for Best Picture and Best Director, are enough to make him feel better.

4. Lawless
Directed by Rhys Mayfield
Starring Colin Farrell|Scott Cannon |Ellie Rutter Gabriel Mecht|Gregory Smith
Genre:Action
The American Civil War has just ended, and the defeated Southerners have returned to their homeland to start their lives anew, but the rich Yankees aren't giving them a good time.
In a small town in Missouri, in the American Midwest, heartbreak and anger set in when the residents hear that their fields have all been seized without their knowledge by the greedy railroad magnate Thaddeus Raines. In the midst of the swarm, a group of cowboys who were soldiers in the Civil War set out to reclaim what was rightfully theirs by force.
Jesse James became the leader of the young men, and along with his brother Frank, commanded a band of bloodthirsty cowboys in an open confrontation with Raines: robbing banks, hijacking wagons, and pickpocketing trains between 1866 and 1881, committing a number of spectacular robberies, and becoming known as the Bandit of the West.
While the rich and powerful Raines hired the legendary private detective Allen Pinkerton to hunt down James in the vast western desert, deciding to fight him to the end at all costs. In this battle of money and guts, who will emerge victorious in the end?
Behind the Scenes:
Jesse James is a well-known legend in the United States, and the excitement of his story seems to be no less than that of Robin Hood, the Grand Theft Auto that we Chinese audiences are familiar with. Therefore, over the years to his life as the content of the film and television works as many as 30 more, second only to Abraham Lincoln and Billy the Kid, two famous people in American history "photogenic". One of the most iconic is 1939's "Swingers," starring Henry Fonda, while the most recent film about Jesse James is 1994's "Frank and Jesse," starring Rob Lowe and Bill Paxton.
While American westerns have been a bit weak in the past two years (as exemplified by the lackluster box-office successes of "The Rough Riders" and "Stallion"), this in no way cuts down on Hollywood filmmaker's enthusiasm for the western genre, which, after all, is representative of America's national spirit and, more importantly, was one of the fastest-growing genres in the history of American cinema. In Hollywood, almost every director dreams of one day making a western of his own, and the director of this movie, Les Mayfield, is no exception. According to the director, who has directed such comedies as "The Flying Dutchman" and "Dumb and Dumber", he grew up watching Westerns, and the legendary life of Jesse James has always been a fascinating fascination for Mayfield, who is now fulfilling a longtime dream by making Jesse's story.
5. DANCING WITH THE WOLF***
Director:Kevin Costner
Starring:Kevin Costner|Mary McDoniel|Graham Greaney
Genre:Literary
Lieutenant Dunbar, a hero of the Civil War, rides his horse, Siskel, out to the magical West in search of a new way of life. Major Vanbrugh of Fort Hayes assigns Dunbar to the most remote post, Sackwick. The grandeur of the prairie captivates Dunbar, and he decides to stay alone at the unoccupied post. But Dunbar becomes isolated due to Major Vanbrugh's suicide and the killing of his coachman by the Indian Pani.
Dunbar lived a quiet and monotonous life alone. It was as if this pale wilderness with no side and no boundaries was his paradise. Dunbar also made friends with a wolf with two white front legs and named him "Two White Socks".
The peace didn't last long, however, and Dunbar came into contact with the Sioux. The Sioux were very vocal about Dunbar's arrival and argued about how to treat him.
Dunbar decided to take it upon himself to go to the Sioux. Along the way, he rescued Standing Fist, a Sioux woman who had tried to commit suicide, but had lost her family when she was a child and had been adopted by the Sioux. After returning Standing Fist to the Sioux, Dunbar rode away.
Dunbar's visit shook the Sioux to their core. The Indian chiefs agreed to return Dunbar's visit. The next day, several Indians came to Dunbar's quarters. Thus began a slow and friendly contact. Gradually Dunbar became a friend of the Sioux, and he was given the Indian name of Dance with the Wolf.
Dunbar impressed the Sioux with his horsemanship and marksmanship during bison hunts. He also saved an Indian boy. From then on, Dunbar moved into the Sioux camp and became one of them. At the same time, Dunbar developed a genuine bond with the Standing Fist Dance.
When the fierce Pawnee attacked, Dunbar gave the Sioux all he had, giving them guns and ammunition from his outpost and helping them defeat their enemies. All the Sioux adored Dunbar and blessed his love and union with Standing Fist. Deeply aware of the simplicity, kindness and friendliness of the Indians, Dunbar lived freely and happily among the Sioux. Except for his skin color and looks, Dunbar was a full-fledged Indian. However, just as Dunbar wanted to go to the post to retrieve his journal and live among the Indians forever, he realized that a group of white soldiers had been stationed there. They saw Dunbar in his Indian attire and shot him. Emmasco died and Dunbar became a prisoner.
Dunbar's defense of the Indians drew repeated abuse and beatings. They decided Dunbar was a traitor. So Dunbar never spoke English again and resolutely spoke Indian. The garrison major had no choice but to send a party of soldiers to escort Dunbar back to Fort Hayes. The Sioux discovered this, and they eliminated the escort and rescued Dunbar.
The harsh winter came, and the Sioux took up residence in a deep valley. In order not to involve his Sioux friends, Dunbar declined to stay and left the Sioux village with his wife, Standing Fist.
Eighteen years later, the Sioux were forced to sign an agreement with the government to relinquish the land they had inherited for generations.
Appreciation
The film Dancing with Wolves*** was the directorial debut of Kevin Scottner. At three hours long and $18 million, it is a major epic western that utilized 3,500 bison, 300 horses, over 130 technicians and 400 extras. It was also the first film in the history of American cinema to have Indian subtitles. According to Kevin Slatner, "What I was trying to show was what happened to the Indians in those times, a history of the Native people." He insisted that the movie must be subtitled in Indian and was confident that it would inevitably attract strong interest and attention and support. And sure enough he succeeded.
At the premiere, he invited many Indians to see the movie. Three hours passed, and the movie theater roared with applause for a long time. DANCING WITH THE WOLF*** has become an immortal western legend in the history of world cinema with its unique perspective and connotation.
DANCING WITH THE WOLF*** was a smash hit at the 63rd Academy Awards, nominated for 12 awards and eventually winning, bringing the world to its feet. Kevin Scottner boldly adopts the Western genre, which has been underappreciated for over a decade, to examine the complex themes of culture, history, race and peace from a fresh perspective. The diversity of the film's manifestations breathes fresh and powerful life into the Western, revitalizing a genre while making it a brilliant success for himself.
While the film adopts the legendary narrative story structure, it is distinctive in that the film skillfully integrates the realistic style with the romantic color mood, which gives the whole film a great artistic charm. And the movie also has a very praiseworthy and wonderful shooting technique. The film perfectly combines the rich historical and cultural atmosphere with the majestic scenery of the western prairie. Rich camera angles, clever dynamic rhythm and complex but excellent scene scheduling, so that the movie has achieved excellent visual effects. But the real success of the movie should also be attributed to its profound thematic connotation. With the end of the Second World War, humanitarianism was given a considerable place in literature and art. Reflection on history made war and the history of western exploration the two major themes of the movie. DANCING WITH WOLVES*** reflects this history and reflection of the western expansion which is extremely difficult to grasp and express. The tragic sufferings of the Indians are getting more and more popular attention. This film is a reversal of previous films, especially westerns, in which the Indians are always written as savage people, and affirms the purity, sincerity and kindness of the Indians. The movie also puts forward the ideal that ethnic groups should give up struggle and live in peace, and embodies the freedom and beauty of this ideal with Dunbar and the Sioux getting along well with each other, playing the melody of love, equality and peace. These artistic successes ultimately made the movie a brilliant victory in the Oscar race.

Review
This is a film full of warmth and masculinity, spoken like a distant fairy tale. The story takes place at the turn of the century, set between the mountainous plains of the American West, when the sky was so blue and the distant mountains so clear, and a military father with his three sons lived a comfortable life in the mountains. The three sons, who grew up in the years of fighting bears and running with horses, had different aspirations and pursuits, and they manifested their excellence in different ways.
The entry of a woman seems to have broken the tranquility of this place, and the sudden appearance of such a cultured woman in the dilapidated house has brought a warmth to the heart of the old Captain William that has not been seen for a long time, and the three sons are all loving her at the same time.
If you think at this point that the story is going to unfold in the midst of fratricide and fratricide, you'd be wrong. Throughout the story, the interplay of father-son, brother-brother, and lover love pervades and lingers. Telling a very long but also let a person attached to the story, this is a very touching story, in this utilitarian society, we have not been so immersed in such a full of human nature in the atmosphere of true love.
The film's picture shooting is very beautiful, will be a different from the "Dancing with Wolves ****" style of the American Western landscape is fully displayed in front of the audience, the background of the majestic mountains and the male world in the film is very harmonious and has a certain visual impact, prairie, blue skies, steeds, everything is so harmonious, yearning, the film won the sixty-seventh Oscars for best The movie won the best cinematography award at the 67th Oscars.
Brad Pitt, who plays the role of Tristan, is one of the glittering and handsome young men in contemporary Hollywood. He was in the film "Night of the Vampire", which was close to the light of Tom Cruise, and his characterization in this film has become a typical image of him in people's minds: untidy and unruly, but full of manliness. Another movie star in the film can not be mentioned is Anthony Hopkins, who had previously won the Oscar for the "Silence of the Lambs" a piece of the Oscars laurels, in this film, his lines are not much, the appearance of the time is not long, but it is the soul of the entire film, he put a stubborn, tough, dignified image of his father fully manifested, let a person stand in awe, worthy of a generation of superstars, it is no wonder that later the director of the great Oliver Stone was very eager to invite him to play the role of a father. Stone strongly invited him to play the role of Nixon in "Nixon".
According to the usual practice, the music in the movie should still be mentioned here. If you listen carefully, can you feel the sea breeze blowing from the bow of the Titanic? Yes, the film's score is indeed by James Horton, who went on to compose the scores for "Braveheart" and "Titanic". It should be noted that this movie's score is also very good, James Horton is good at using instrumental solo and instrumental music, and also has a good sense of humor. James Horton specializes in the use of solo instruments and orchestra combinations to articulate the melody, often bringing people into a very distant realm. The soundtrack cleverly incorporates piano and violin solos to pave the way for the development of the plot, adding color to the film.
7, the Golden Three Darts
Director: Sergio Leone
Starring: Clint Eastwood | Lee Van Cleef
Type: action
Hollywood one of the top ten westerns. The master of the western, Sergio Leone, directed the Dart. The conclusion of the Dart movie trilogy directed by the great master of westerns, Sergio Leone. The best western I've ever seen, my favorite western by far, and if I had to pick one movie to represent the entire western genre I'd have to pick it.
During the Civil War, three bandits take advantage of the political chaos to seize a batch of wealth, and the three are sometimes intercommunicating with each other, sometimes hooking up, sometimes raising their guns to face each other ......
The shock of this movie is that the philosophy of the bandits is the truth: the principle of survival espoused by the bandits is in fact the principle of survival of the whole country and even can be It can be understood as a principle of survival that must be respected by the natural man and the social man - the term "robber principle" is neutral and not pejorative. It was precisely because of their adherence to the "Robber Principles" that they were able to build a great nation in that barbaric land. On the other hand, we like to say that our own people have excellent character to encourage the moral construction of our country, people's basic desires can not be respected, to make "alone" and "Rashomon" like the movie is never possible ......
Worth thinking about is that the film on behalf of the "good, evil and ugly" three forces of the three robbers. Obviously, bandits and armies are mapped onto each other, and the world's plurality and inequality stems from the plundering of resources by bandits big and small. ...... When I first watched this movie, I was in awe because the director was actually able to seep deep thoughts about political struggles into a highly commercialized plot mode, and then when I read the director's own words about the time when the film was created, I was even more secretly delighted. Later, when I read the director's own words about the creation of the film, I was even more delighted that I had read them correctly, as Sergio LePlione said: "In my mind, the American Civil War was stupid and futile, without cause. The key to this movie is in the line 'I've never seen so many stupid people die, and for no purpose.' "

The story is about a mysterious guest (Charles Bronson) who comes to a small town and gets caught up in a land grab between a widow (Claudia Cardinale) and a railroad tycoon. The most interesting character in this movie is Henry Fonda, who has always been the image of justice, and he plays a rare role as a cold-faced, brutal killer, with almost no expression from start to finish and only occasional movements of his mouth, which makes people shudder! ... When the movie was released in the U.S., it was trimmed by the studio because it was too long, resulting in an ambiguous and unspecific story structure.

At the end of the 19th century, the stagecoach was the only means of transportation in the wild west of the United States. Coachman Barker drives to the town of Denton to change horses for the trip to Rutgersburg. Among the passengers are the hard-drinking but open-minded Dr. Pomona, Lucy, who is in labor and visiting her family in the army, a liquor dealer, and the sheriff, nicknamed Curly.
The women of the town's law-and-order coalition drive the prostitute Dallas out of Dundalk. She boards the stagecoach with her head held high and a provocative look on her face.
