Good god help me one star is for decent costumes and the other for pretty sites. there is like 40 minutes of filler throughout the movie of the party just riding horses with no dialogue. the camera operator had their hands tied behind their back, or didnt care to make it interesting. just put the camera on a tripod. the cut/edit the first time we see our lead in some town is pointless. as many other scenes afterwards. the lead doesnt connect with anyone actually, no deep conversation, no conflict, no personality. she wears a blue dress the entire time and in the prelude there is one person with something blue on their backpack but is it her? i dont think so, it was a guy. the music is monotone as hell and put anywhere when the party looks at something in silence or rides in silence like robots. the gold from the title is two huge poops which barely appear and dont matter, no one tries to steal it or even covets it. the guy who already has it tries to steal the partys money instead. the 'badguys' are in like two scenes, the first one misguides you into thinking theres a mystery in this story and a chase but there is no urgency, no tension. theres no tension between characters either. everyone is flat and barely care about anything. no one is crazy. when the one - lets say - meanie drunk steps into a bear trap he doesnt even scream right away. theres three scenes - RIGHT IN A ROW - when the rest find him and free him(without speaking a single word), then he's hurt'ey and they say he will make it, then they cut his leg and he dies. another thing is that barely anything happens because of someones character. even the drunk is boring. everything is random. one horse falls off a hill and a guy got his hand broken because of that, one horse just randomly collapses even though its not established that theres no water or something and the horse carer doesnt face any consequences, the bear trap - random, you dont get a sense of changing place because the whole countryside looks alike even though they ride all the time. theres more to talk about the nothing that is this movie but id recommend to watch this to learn how to not make films. i feel like this movie was made for retired people who dont go outside. its a western, looks pretty, its not complicated and they barely shoot so its not loud. enjoy
