She is a warrior.
At the beginning of the film, the camera zoomed a long, far away, and we could see the whole picture of the Valley of the Wind, covered by heavy snow, it was silent, vast and far away. The heroine Jane describes the past moments in a reminiscence tone and returns to the old place. It is the past that people never want to remember again, and it is also a land that people never want to set foot on again.
Signs of the Wind River Valley Indian Reserve appeared in the wind and snow. Yes, reserve not protect. This also indicates that this is only a reserved area of primitive Indian tribes rather than a protected area. It is also the main position where the plot of the film takes place. At the beginning of the film, it shows the subtle and awkward relationship between Corey and his wife. The relationship between him and his wife is cold and distant. The whole family is haunted by a secret cloud, which also laid the groundwork for the subsequent revealing of the family tragedy.
The plot unfolds from the accidental death of a young girl Natalie. In the vast snow, she was raped. She ran barefoot on the ice for 6 miles, and finally fell into the snow, like a hero. FBI agent Jane came to investigate the murderer, and Corey offered to help.
Natalie's father, this calm and affectionate Indian man, respected and loved his daughter. He said that she was already an adult. He was immersed in the pain of losing his beloved daughter. Corey said to him: The bad news is that you have lost her, you will lose her forever, she will never come back, you will always become that incomplete self; good news Yes, you must accept this reality, there is no way but to endure the pain.
From this time, Corey's motivation to help Jane began to show gradually along with the tragedies he experienced. In the words of Corey's youngest son: She died like Emily too, right?
Three years have passed, and the accidental death of her daughter has not reduced the pain to the family at all. After the daughter left, the family began to become broken. Corey and his wife knew they were still in love with each other, but because of their daughter's departure, they could no longer face each other and began to drift away.
This shattered family shrouded in the shadow of the pain of losing a loved one is so similar to the reality that Natalie's family is now facing.
Corey is determined to find the murderer of Natalie, but also to give an explanation to his dead daughter. He and Jane embarked on this road of revenge.
In this process, taking the appearance of Natalie's younger brother Chip as a node, we saw the living conditions of the young people in the Native Indian reservations: they do nothing, do not do their jobs, take drugs, prostitute, and do no evil. They frequently enter and exit the prison. I even think that life in prison is pretty good-a typical social cancer. After learning of her sister's death, the fragile and frozen part of the rebellious teenager Chip began to disintegrate.
Following the vines in the wind and snow, looking for traces, and according to the clues provided, Corey and Jane learned of Natalie's boyfriend Sam, and went deep inside the youth guarding here. In an infighting and melee, the guns Aiming in different directions, Jane finally ordered the others to lay down their weapons as an FBI agent. We can see the conflicts between state and state laws. In front of federal laws, state laws may be invalid. But in fact, a complete federal law cannot extend its effectiveness to this forgotten native place. Here, it seems that no force can come quickly and effectively.
In front of the cabin where Pete was chasing the murderer, a replay of the past appeared on the camera. This is not someone's memory, but the memory in this wooden house. On a snowy night, Natalie came to look for Sam, and the two of them stayed warm. For Natalie, a beautiful Indian girl who has never been acquainted with the world or even out of the mountains, she can't resist his charm at all for the majestic, mighty, charming, gentle, mature, and experienced man in front of her. Outside the window is the wind and snow, and inside the house is a pair of lovers hugging each other tightly. He told her about New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Ojai who spent Christmas in 21 degrees weather. For this aboriginal girl who has settled in Wind River Valley for generations, going out of Wind River Valley to see the outside world is a distant dream, and it is also a dream that she has to complete all her life. And the man in front of her is a window, giving her a broader field of vision and intimate care. There were two shining lights in her eyes, and she said: Then let's go to Ojai to settle down in the future. These fragments are warm tones that are rarely seen in the film. They do not appear from anyone's perspective, but rather describe the love, yearning, and dreams of this young Indian girl like a flying magic pen. Subsequently, the appearance of Pete and others, joking, infringing and hurting, changed the direction of this beautiful picture. How ugly human nature can be. They call each other brothers and sisters, but they are trying to frame each other. Perhaps, in response to the phrase "poor mountains and evil waters come out of the people", they are in the valley of the wind and rivers, and they are all at the bottom of despair. But they each have ghosts and unkindness in their hearts. Or maybe, it's not ugly human nature. Humans are inherently inferior. Under extreme circumstances, they are more likely to intensify and explode. That is jealousy, anger, ignorance, and the tearing of all the masks of hypocrisy under the pressure of this environment. .
Peter who opened the door raised his gun, and Jane, who was standing at the door, bore the brunt. Cory, who was in ambush in the distance, rescued the injured Jane and captured the murderer alone. He forced a confession of the murder to the murderer. When Pete talked about the details, he turned and frowned, his nose sour, and quickly concealed his grief. He imagined the pain Natalie and his daughter endured, and could not hold on to their own emotions. Pete said: In this ghost place, this snowy silence. These snow statues have existed here for thousands of years. They keep accumulating and continue to flow. They are not gentle at all, and even very violent and cruel-they make people feel depressed and desperate. The unshakable mountains, the unbreakable Indian reservations, and the unchangeable destiny give everyone born and raised here a cruel fate. In such an extreme environment, the incidence of human nature is fundamentally distorted. Maybe he was not malicious, but his desperate life caused him to completely collapse. In the film, Corey is like a lantern bearer of truth and kindness. He said: We have been here for centuries and have never been out, but you have to endure all this here. He did not execute him immediately. He knew that the pleasure of a shot and revenge could not comfort him. This mature and wise man had his own way of dealing with it: he let him run away barefoot and crawl on the highest peak of Wyoming, Grand Teton. On the ridge of the peak, chants sounded, not for him who fled in a hurry, but an ode to two brave women, Emily and Natalie, who ran barefoot from the frozen snow-capped mountains to the direction of the road. Until the last trace of strength is exhausted, as Corey said: No matter how far you think they can run, they will run farther than you think.
At last Jane was saved, and Corey gave her a doll of an alligator and told her: You saved yourself by yourself, what a brave woman you are. The emotions between Corey and Jane are unclear and unclear. They are father and daughter, lover, the most tacit partner, and the person who appreciates each other. Fate arranged for them to meet and made them feel sorry for each other.
At the end of the story, although she has lost her daughter, Natalie's family is reborn in this Nirvana-the teenager Chip is determined to return to the family. This murder hunt is a salvation of life for the once-degraded boy Chip. Life has never been fair. At the end of the film, the calm face of Natalie's father painted bright oil on his face. He said that he painted the appearance of his death. Two fathers with similar fate from a broken family looked into the distance and comforted each other. The two behind him The swings collided together, all of this was very peaceful and peaceful.
The wind and snow are depressing, not to mention the endless wind and snow that has accumulated over the years. In the hunt for the wind, where should this exiled tribe and the lost civilization go, whether to choose to survive or surrender and compromise. There have also been sharp contradictions between the different races trapped in the Wind River Valley for a long time. There are aboriginal confusions and differences. The value of choosing rebellious helplessness or perseverance. This is actually a siege and break through a blizzard. Subtitles at the end of the film: No one knows how many indigenous women are missing, because this missing person is not within the scope of management and protection. This reveals the living conditions of the Native Indians. Through the interactive activities on the scene of the film, we learned that the film director Taylor Sheridan lived in the Natives Reservation for three years in order to make this film, and had in-depth contact with the peaceful and leisurely aboriginals. He has studied this social reality for more than five years, and he has sharpened his sword for many years. Only then has he presented us with such a filmmaker's responsibility and mission, but also such a skillful and refined debut, which touches and even strikes our hearts and appeals to the law. Diligence and protection of human rights.
Beautiful and strong Indian girls, may you be deeply loved and wish you long-lasting happiness.
