As an excursion into the history of America, I watched a movie in high school in a video show. I just found it without a translation. I couldn’t enjoy the conversation.
An epilogue should probably make an excerpt from the story about Henry "Raid on the train."
The man who told me this story lived for several years as an outlow. )
He knows that he is doomed in the end, that sooner or later he will lose his life or his freedom, and that the accuracy of his sight, the speed of his horse, and the fidelity of his revolver only delay the inevitable.
That doesn't mean he loses sleep in fear of the police. In all my practice, I have never seen the police attack a gang of outlaws without exceeding it numerically by three times.
But the outlook can’t get one thing out of his head, and that’s what makes his life especially bitter: he knows where the cops are recruiting their agents from. He knows that most of these pillars of the law were once its transgressors, horse thieves, crooks, vagrants, and outlaws like himself; he knows that they have achieved impunity and the present situation only because they have become state spies and that they have betrayed their comrades and handed them over to prison and death.
He knows that one day, if he is not killed before, his Judas will set to work, and then a trap will be set for him, and he himself will be captured instead of capturing others in the past.
...
This is one of the reasons why the profession of railway raiders is not as pleasant as one of its side branches - politics or stock speculation.
The director paints the main characters beautiful (young, slim, neat looking), while the sheriff is served by a fat unkempt man chewing tobacco.
A striking difference from today’s Russia is that the sheriff, despite all his unsightlyness, is still doing his job, because he was elected and will not be elected next time. So he cleanses his neighborhood of these types. We're not going to be here.
Funny moments.
1. Raiders come in to shave, while already cleanly shaved. And there's nothing to shave.
2. He chains the safe in the bank once. And from the bank the safe flies, tied cross-cross.
3. The hero almost the whole film in the same white jeans and, interestingly, they are not a speck.
4. The video show advertises the then famous pornographic film Deep Throat.
5. On the last black car, the raiders have a yellow emoji instead of a license plate.
Old American cars give pleasure - how strong they are and, in general, cool.
The shirts in which the heroes of the film walked appeared only in the 90s, that is, almost 20 years later.
On the fate of the heroine: I believe he will sit down for a long time. Murder, gang involvement. It's a long time. My life has been ruined.
The sheriff will continue to grow his belly and chase local and visiting hooligans. The rest are dead.
I don’t regret spending 1.5 hours on the film.
