Phil behaves so cruelly he drives them both to tears, revelling in their hurt and rousing his fellow cowhands to laughter - all except his brother George, who comforts Rose then returns to marry her.
مع ذلك، في فيلم مدته تزيد عن الساعتين، يبدو أن هذه الأجزاء المكونة لتجربة سينمائية ممتازة، تتشتت، وفي نهاية الفُرجة يصعب فهم ما كان محور ما شاهدته.
All of Phil's romance, power and fragility is trapped in the past and in the land: He can castrate a bull calf with two swift slashes of his knife; he swims naked in the river, smearing his body with mud.
