"1883": A western film full of sadness and hope!

Finally, I finished watching the American drama "1883" recommended by Qifa Culture Tingting last night. This drama has a sad and poetic epic feel. Although the plot is a little thin, the story is tragic and heroic. Life is so free and so insignificant in this vast and desolate land. The West is a ruthless wilderness, symbolized by freedom and death. Cowboys are practitioners of the Western spirit. Dreamers step into the West and become cowgirls, uninhibited and unbridled, loving freedom.

"1883" is a prequel to the American drama "Yellowstone". The story focuses on the Dutton family's westward journey many years ago. Dana seeks a better future. From the beginning of the series, Elsa's third-party narration has been narrating, describing the hardships of the western pioneers. In fact, it is also said that Elsa will die at the end of the journey. This is her memoir.

As a prequel, this drama is calm and restrained, especially the "western chivalry" that cannot be found in Yellowstone, which is undoubtedly displayed in 1883. This is an older, more primitive West than Yellowstone. Survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle and the strong, completely follow the laws of nature. Elsa died in the end, in her father's arms, under an unknown towering tree. The old sheriff said that Elsa is different from all of us, and she lives better than us. Behind Elsa's seemingly affectionate and willful appearance is her yearning for life and pursuit of freedom.

Elsa's life was short, but more exciting than most people's. Life in the West is like nothing. After you die, don’t ask God why you lived such a miserable life, because God did not intentionally make you like this. Don't think about any paradise somewhere, your present is paradise. There are too many problems that cannot be solved, and there are too many helpless things that you can't do anything about. Poetry-like lines, plump and charming characters, and a dream-like journey. What is the dream? Maybe there is one direction to keep moving forward, which is the dream.

Tingting from Hunan Qifa Culture Media Co., Ltd. wrote in her ghostwritten commentary that this is an out-and-out good drama. As the group moves westward, it involves The themes are very rich: from estrangement and distrust to friendship and trust in the end; the connection between people, the kind of love, the kind of warmth that makes people feel comforted and warm; the desire for freedom and the pursuit of dreams Pursuit; moreover, I was deeply moved by the sincere and deep love that people showed when they were separated from each other.

This is a pioneering history of the Dutton family, a western film full of sadness and hope. In fact, this drama is different from traditional western movies. In addition to the cruel environment of western development, it is more about the expression of emotions and the yearning for freedom. Although the story is about survival in the desolate and cruel wilderness, some people carry their dreams while others carry their fears. The many details in his eyes and the raised corners of his mouth infected me. More power comes from my own heart. Only by throwing away fear and not letting the world change your direction can you have happiness.

This is an amazing western drama, the confrontation between civilization and wildness, the collision between city and wilderness. I have to say that the connection between each episode and the soundtrack is very clever. The soundtrack has a strong sense of substitution and immediately brings people into the desolate and wild American West. Here, human life seems extremely fragile, and the protection of civilization and the city is no longer there. Storms, traumas, crossing rivers, anything that has not been experienced alone in the city will cause people to lose their lives. There is no trust between strangers. Maybe it was swords facing each other. Civilization and cities are the best gifts history has given to the weak.

The return of a cowboy is always on the journey, and the ending of the cowboy is often an unmarked grave, galloping on the wilderness, releasing his wildness without reservation, drinking heavily, eating meat, wielding a quick gun, and A good horse, this may be the most extraordinary life of the people at the bottom of the world at that time!
