But I have used many fragments of it to discuss the views of the article, and I often read and taste it again and again alone at night.
Everyone has his own treasure to hide.
The epidemic has hit a special period of the film, and Mr. Wang is willing to share it.
There is a simple reason.
We finally had enough time to settle down and get close to it.
The last drama that should not be buried in recent years—
Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park
An American drama destined not to belong to everyone.
Western themes weakened the initial resonance;
The structure is huge, and the duration of an episode is at least 45 minutes and the longest is more than 90 minutes. The volume of almost a movie tests patience.
The style of painting is rough, and the stars always wear cowboy hats and high boots, driving away the Yan value party that pursues visual impact.
What about the people who stayed?
They are all die-hard.
Three-season watercress has never been less than 9 points.
In the third season just aired, Sir's score rose from 9.5 to 9.6.
Why?
A metaphor of foreign media is particularly accurate:
Yellowstone National Park is the godfather of the American western version.
What is the most classic scene in The Godfather?
The first thing Mr. Wang remembers is that Marlon Brando rolled up the cat.
The pettish touch, combined with the gentle milk call, was once too cured.
But when the camera turns—
In a few words, the other party has been scared speechless by this "godfather".
This is the godfather's first act.
Within two minutes, stand up and be strict and compassionate.
Keep quiet, don't be angry and arrogant.
There is a similar scene in Yellowstone National Park.
The protagonist's son was shot by his enemy. After the funeral, he hugged the other children.
It seems that the family is still immersed in grief.
However, the daughter first broke the atmosphere:
Tell me, who are we fighting?
The protagonist thought about it, put his mouth to his daughter's ear, but immediately took it back.
Raise the volume:
Everyone.
Anger, long before sadness dissipates.
You can feel who this person is and what kind of family this is without any synopsis.
This is why the series is called "Godfather".
Every character is as sharp as a knife

man
The source of the story is a piece of land.
The largest private farm in the United States belongs to the Dutton family's "Yellowstone Farm".
How big is it?
More than 4.7 million mu, about the size of 4,300 Forbidden City.
Including mountains, rivers, lakes, grasslands … and almost all the animals and plants on them.
All belong to the protagonist John Dutton (kevin costner).
Permanent property rights.
To this end, he even bought a helicopter and patrolled his own site when nothing happened.
But he doesn't own this land alone.
Yellowstone Farm is located in the northwest of Montana, USA. It is the junction of Yellowstone National Park and Indian Reservation.
In short, the land of the border.
People around him are staring at him and his land.
On the one hand, it is a real estate developer.
Urging the local government, in the name of urban expansion, to land acquisition, expansion of hotels, tourism, resorts and other businesses (well, the United States also has forced demolition).
△ The golf course is already adjacent to the edge of the farm.
On one side is the indigenous Indian next door.
They have autonomy in their own plots, not only run specific laws and equip their own police, but also legally engage in gambling to make money.
The new chief of the tribe regards Huangshi Farm as a new expansion direction of the reservation.
These people have been playing tricks on Dutton.
Fight, arrest, plant ... one-stop service.
After John Dutton's wife died, there was no child in the family to worry about.
The eldest son, Lee Dutton, has a dull brain.
After working on the farm all my life, I can only do farm work, and I can't count on it at all.
The second son, Jamie Dutton, is a family lawyer who graduated from Harvard University. He is an unmarried person and is a sissy in the eyes of Old Dutton. Wearing a suit all day is not cowboy, pass.
The third son, Keith Dutton, retired from the Marine Corps and was originally his father's favorite successor.
Who knows? ...
Can't pass the beauty pass.
For an Indian girl, leaving the farm to take refuge in the "enemy" would rather help others train horses than go home, which is sad.
Daughter Beth seems to be the most reliable.
Although I like fooling around with all the men I like and behave out of line, I am first-class in the shopping mall.
But can my daughter really survive in this wild land?
Dutton is still hesitating.
Heart tired.
More sadly, at the critical moment of the enemy's massive attack.
Li, the eldest son, was killed by Indians in the conflict, and Darden himself was found to have cancer.
This family has reached the most dangerous time.
So this is the nail house's revenge?
number
Looking back on the decline of the Dutton family, many grand issues have been inserted.
Traditional VS modern;
Human feelings VS capital;
Order VS law;
……
This is an epic of characters.
Take a character as the tangent point, cut an incision of an era, expose the texture of civilization, and then go deep into the bone marrow of human nature.
This narrative has one characteristic: portraying characters and making good use of "profile".
Dutton appears to be down and out, but it can't hide his hiding position at all.
The first episode has lines at the beginning. Listen to what is domineering:
The developer wants to take the Duttons to court, saying that they bully the city and raise cattle, which hinders the development of the town.
Upon hearing this, the judge directly rejected:
The town was founded by the Duttons.
Anything else to say?
Although Dutton is in the camera, he is raising cattle and walking horses.
But in fact, a careful analysis of his influence ...
Extend in all directions.
Talking to the female governor of Montana because of the bus, people don't forget to give her a charming touch before leaving.
Teasing?
No, she's Dutton's lover.
In addition, the governor and the state attorney general are all appointed by Dutton; Republican lawmakers are his guests; He can control the appointment and removal of the new state's attorney whenever he wants. ...
Power rises and people's hearts fall.
Very prestigious among ordinary people.
In the case of the eldest son being killed, a greeting can make the witness in the case change his statement.
In a case of revenge, a letter can force the sheriff to take sides.
Face the outside world calmly and pay close attention to the inner world.
He not only got the help of the agent of the animal husbandry association, but also kept the dead on his farm.
Composed of former prisoners.
Help Dutton kill and set fire, protect the farm and do shady work.
△ Take off the body and hang it at the door to threaten the enemy.
Dutton promised to protect them from legal sanctions.
Anyone in the family who dares to betray the Duttons will be put on the train-
Drive all the way to dark and send him back to his hometown (cliff shooting).
Although the slogan on the poster is a bit rustic in translation:
My land, my rules (my website listens to me)
Under the operation of old John, the Dutton family, like lubricating oil, penetrated into the gap between the local state machine and social order.
Absolute monarch.
This is Lord Dutton of Yellowstone Farm.
On the surface, he is simple and kind, but on the inside, he is overbearing, and he is cold-blooded and tyrannical.
Okay？ Not good?
Skillfully wandering between black and white is his charm.
02
woman
The main plot of the whole play is that the Dutton family has saved the day again and again.
The building is supported by the family ties of the Dutton family.
Two women.
One is daughter Beth Dutton.
Hot body, bold style, sleeping with men is common, and throwing it after sleeping is even more common.
In the workplace, the same style is fierce and successful in running a family business.
Among the children of the old godfather, the one who can pick things best.
Call her home as soon as something happens at home and ask her to be a consultant.
Bass, which maintains the strength of the whole family, is the last card of the whole Dutton family.
However, Beth has her own problems.
The entanglement and complexity shown in her body may have the shadow of most families.
Because of her mistake, my mother died, and I'm still bitter about it.
However, her mother's strict discipline distorted her character.
She is the most unstable in the family, and it is easy to break out if she doesn't agree with each other.
She looks coquettish and dissolute, but she is also sincere to her lover.
It is also a "tension" for the family.
I hate my father's ruthlessness, but also pity his efforts for many years and help my family at the same time.
On the other hand, I don't want my brother to become like my father and secretly push down old Dutton.
She is the X factor in the whole family.
A wild horse without a reins.
The second woman is my brother Keith's daughter-in-law, Monica, an Indian.
The threat of old Dutton.
She is highly educated, intelligent and kind, and scorns the values of the Dutton family.
Choose to stay as a teacher on an Indian reservation, live a poor life, and refuse to accept gifts from the old godfather.
Even her husband, Keith, the son of Old Dutton, has drawn a line with the Dutton family.
Until.
What happened at Dutton's house spread to his own small family.
Her brother was killed and her husband Keith was arrested.
When life is unsustainable.
She realized the importance of family protection to her family.
Then his son was kidnapped.
Monica even said the line that made her convert to her family-
Kill them all.
If Bath is a nuclear weapon within the Dutton family, there is a risk of stabilizing the military and exploding.
So Monica is the glue of the last short board in the family.
In order to achieve family, both women were blackened to varying degrees.
A detail.
After the old godfather and his party rescued their grandson.
As a daughter-in-law, Monica hugged the old godfather for the first time.
Yes, she defected.
At the expense of selling the value once believed.
If that man in Yellowstone National Park represents the complexity of human nature.
The Daughter in Yellowstone National Park shows the emotional disorder.
Through the mix and match of the two, the play finally shows the breadth beyond the role.
03
It's time for Yellowstone National Park's mastermind to come out.
Director+Screenwriter, Taylor Sheridan.
At the age of 26, he became an actor and turned to a screenwriter at the age of 40.
Is forced by life:
Forty years old, even afraid to watch my son's baseball game, just because there is a small advertisement to shoot or something.
I didn't go to film school, and I didn't have writing training.
Soon, he finalized the first script.
A year later, the second screenplay.
result ...
Two scripts, one of which was passed directly, were quickly put on the big screen.
Guess what these two films are?
One is called "Border Black Boy" and the other is called "Go through fire and water".
Not enough.
Immediately, I personally directed my third play: Hunting the Wind Valley.
This is also his famous "Border Trilogy".
No one can succeed casually. Apart from the experience of Taylor 15 actors, the script is really time-consuming.
"Hunting Wind Valley" has been written for five years, among which it took three years to interview Indian big brother alone (P.S. Taylor himself was born on an Indian reservation).
His personal experience also made him particularly sensitive to the "border complex".
What does the border represent?
Danger, conflict, chaos, tearing ...
So is Yellowstone.
A work aimed at restoring the truth, but the result is to constantly subvert your three views.
Here, the way of the world far exceeds the effectiveness of the law.
Dead man, what do you want to do at the first time?
Call the police.
They are rocking people.
Because they have already seen through it, the purpose of police handling cases is not fairness and justice, but to end the matter as soon as possible.
When it comes to the west, what comes to mind for the first time?
Extralegal land.
That's true.
The Dutton family has private guards, the livestock association has armed agents, the local sheriff can mobilize the local police, and the Indian reservation also has independent armed forces.
Even other local tyrants and bullies have militia groups to help.
The whole people hold guns and the whole people are in power.
But there is another side.
Under the beautiful natural scenery, an increasingly lonely business and the romantic life of a group of old cowboys.
There are many contrasts in this film.
In modern towns, cowboy's clothes are out of tune with modern people.
A real estate agent's banquet, wedding.
Agricultural products auction, the door is empty.
In the constant rotation, Yellowstone National Park created the superposition of two different sides of the world.
What is cowboy spirit?
Can be stubborn persistence;
It can also be free and easy romance.
Mr. Wang always says that good works are never responsible for solving problems, but only for asking questions.
In the final analysis.
Yellowstone National Park and The Godfather, they asked the same question.
That's-
When one value dominates and prevails, does it mean that we have the right to trample on another value?
Godfather is about family.
Loyalty to family is the mainstream.
But the other way around.
In order to protect the family, murder and arson, collusion between officials and businessmen, and killing people. ...
Right?
So is Yellowstone National Park.
This is a matter of order.
In the era of multicultural prevalence and political correctness, these people who represent the American spirit never mind sending all enemies to hell.
Is that so?
Huangshi and the godfather did a little more than "good works".
They answered their own questions.
Become a good work with character.
Although this answer is not correct.
But they still want to give a word to those who cover their ears:
Lao Tzu is right.
