this film be one of those that can not be regard by it outwardness . indeed and at a first sight and it seem that the story simply focus the desire of have more money . but . let take a look on the other side . what do you see . you see that the money be only a metaphor for the ambiguous feeling the human be have representshould i do the right thing and or shouldt i. and . what the right thing . le make a deep analysis . what do it mean a little town in the border . it mean that sometimes we can go too close to the border of do something we think we couldn not . what do it mean the arid soil show in this picture . it mean the dryness that sometimes take possession ot our offensed heart . what do it mean the phrase of the character ( kristen ) representnow i belong to him . it mean the loss of our free will and due to our unpremeditated deed . in my opinion that the writer of the story and the director try to tell u . by the way . do you remember what another character ( jack barnes ) say representnothing be so simple .
