Just over 40 years ago, marriage in China was arranged by the state. Romantic love was seen as a capitalist concept and was not allowed during this period. Wedding photography (if any at all) consisted of one black and white passport photo of the couple (dressed in Mao- style outfits) as proof of the marriage. Now, China has fallen in love with love and its exploding wedding industry is worth 80 billion dollars, and it is on an upward curve. Pre-wedding photography is one of the most significant and curious parts of the industry. Every couple marrying in China will take part in a pre-wedding shoot. It involves several costume and backdrop changes where you can become a character in any fantasy you choose. For the most exotic lo- cations couples pay up to $250,000 AUD. Pre-wedding photo shoots have become an important national ritual. They are proof of the marriage but now also of love, romance, freedom, status, money and the new China Dream. As an expat living in Shanghai with a long history of coming to China, Sinophile photographer Olivia Mar- tin-McGuire was captivated by the construction of dreams through this booming photographic world. Once she started to delve deeper into this new traditional she found a unique window into China. One that revealed a country dreaming, a country rapidly booming and a country reconstructing its recent past trauma all through their own lens. China Love takes us on a wild journey into the warmth of the family web in China into the hearts of our characters and into their personal dreams with an understanding of why and where these aspirations come from. The project explores China's new position as a globalised country from its restrictive and highly traditional past - through the window of its booming wedding industry and asks what is the new China Dream when it comes to love.
全片简洁不拖沓，最后的枪战有种回到老西部片的感觉。不过西部片真的没落了，也只能挖些老素材拍了。
故事很简单，结尾还来了一次反转，挺有意思的。老年比利小子重出江湖，老当益壮啊。
隐士的高手被世界重新发现的时候，有好结局的似乎不多
威震江湖激流勇退 恶匪临门重现神威 两位黄金配角奉献返璞归真西部片
我居然……被這種……如此俗套的故事……感動了……
这实在是一部为老西部片迷献上的电影，无论是压力层层累积直至结尾集中爆发的经典结构，还是中正大气的影像呈现和纯男角的人物组合，都可自然勾连进过往的西部片记忆，而且其为核心情节设置的障眼法，更是瞄准西部片迷的某种自负和盲点，反转效果加倍。剧本主线陈旧但扎实，反转以及反转之后的人物最终落点，则为整个故事引出了属于自己的光彩，传奇终逝，但流淌在血液中的野性和坚韧自会顽强延续。蒂姆·布雷克·尼尔森的演绎很不错挺加分。
有关游侠（也有说是暴徒的）比利小子传奇故事的再续写，剧情简洁紧凑，迟到的悲剧宿命终就上演。本片还原“古法酿造”，将正统西部片再一次忠实呈现，荒凉孤寂，爱与热血以及死亡，以及成长，以及躲不掉的债，皆如牛仔梦回。
you go see it
满分好评～哎一代传奇就此陨落，希望儿子可以续写父亲的传奇
还可以，比利小子被放走的设定真是让西部片爱好者眼睛发亮
这部比卷福那部西部片强，经典叙事，经典的电影母题，剧作推进的很可以，这才是合格的通俗文化的电影类型片。这才是正儿八经的西部片（结尾收的有点差），卷福那什么玩意。
复刻西片怀故旧，有心无力慢慢慢。
西部片中的爽片，全员男人，枪战非常刺激，扣人心弦，90min短小精悍的片子真的没看过瘾，尤其是比利小子的死亡，悬疑十足，到底该相信谁？又或者他当时犹豫救人时在想什么呢？“我活在这个世界上已经是恩赐，我本来已经不属于这个世界”……很喜欢
表演有力 剧本离谱 在老亨利身上能看到所有西部片主角的元素 反派也是老戏骨 但是就像一锅无聊的大杂烩 故事情节上还是太弱了
就是不知不觉看完了，一个半小时，说明逻辑没问题，节奏紧凑。挺喜欢主人公的性格，隐忍克制，但是就像好汉歌一样，该出手时就出手。
有种看了古典西部爽片的感觉，1906年的美国已经是世界第一，具有传奇的老爹逝去，带着传统的西部小子开始闯荡新世界。
这类西部片子我好有一比，就象中国古代的律诗或者八股文（优秀的那种），都是一个完整的小故事成功塑造一个人物，起承转合结构一板一眼的，精巧如同导演系毕业生的设计作品，可以平均高分，也不够特别出彩。
一般，就最后干了一仗，发现是农夫与蛇的故事。一代代就这样教育，就这样苦哈哈，惨兮兮的，谁都得防着。说一堆有啥用？还不是又穷又没文化。
他一袭白衣白裤从《巴斯特·斯克鲁格斯的歌谣》乘着歌声的翅膀飘到此地隐居，赔命为跃跃欲试的“生姜”演示了江湖玩命的“老姜”风范，树林里探头探脑的决斗舞步表演得惟妙惟肖。
有感情，但太少了。缺少英雄暮年的悲情，突兀地被杀像是被强加给的悲剧，而不是不可饶恕那样出于自身的迟暮，自然而然的悲情。
