The story is adapted from the novel Half-Life by Jonathan Raymond. It was adapted by Raymond and director Richard, and was set in Oregon in the 1920s. A Western chef Cookie (played by John Magalo) came to the barbaric. In the west of China, he met luck and met King Lu (played by Orion Lee), a Chinese immigrant who also came to find opportunities. The two saw the same thing and started a business through a cow partnership.
First Cow is a slow-paced anti-western film that focuses on male partners. The director uses his powerful abilities-such as the handling of absurd comedy, special and empathic sensibility, simple narrative, lens performance, the ability to speak straightforwardly-turning this almost anecdotal story about two still clumsy businessmen/criminals into friendship, nature, ambition and the United States profound and transcendent exploration of all concepts upon which it was founded.
The starting point is good. You can feel a sincere simplicity, but the narrative is more personal, and it contains a lot of the director's own thinking. How much the audience can accept varies from person to person.
