The most captivating aspect of any Western movie is a gun-slinging cowboy. They’re cool, skilled, and at some point in the film they usually take the law into their own hands, shooting up all the bad guys and getting the girl in the process. This however, raises a question. Are these men on the right side of the law? Yes, their actions are guided by their own sense of justice, but doesn’t bypassing the law make them no better than the criminals they are going after? No. Not always. In the movie

enjoyable storylines that I would recommend to others. Stagecoach is your typical western movie based in a hot desert town that includes all the classic aspects of the western genre. It features cowboys, indians, horses, guns, a saloon of some sort, tumbleweeds, ect. Waterworld on the other hand still has some of these classical elements but with a futuristic twist and a whole different setting making it arguably a western movie. The movie Waterworld contains the “cowboy hero”, the villains or indians

Clint Eastwood’s films High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Josie Wales, and Pale Rider all work together in order to create a stark portrayal and criticism of greed and its devastating consequences. Eastwood’s thoughtful and insightful commentary on greed can be tracked through each of these three films.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are two bank robbers in a Western world. Their lives are all guns, ammo, and fleeing from the law. Written by George Roy Hill, this film follows this pair’s escape from the law. The words “Western Film” bring about thoughts of Sheriffs and men who must strictly follow the laws of the land. This film, however, is different from the rest of its type in very subtle ways. It differs from the likes of Edwin S. Porter’s The Great Train Robbery in that it provides a commentary

Shane and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid reflect one side of the same coin. They both exist as Westerns, but both offer something different to the genre. The first thing was immediately apparent about Shane was the gorgeous backdrop of the valley outstretching creating a wide beautiful vita all the way up into the mountains. The framework of the story is a very simple ranchers vs. homesteader’s tale. While the idea is not exactly new, the way the story handles the character of Alan Ladd, who

Ladies in the West: An Analysis of Women and Conflict in Western Cinema In 1940s to 1950s cinemas, the representation of men with guns is a prominent attribute to expect when watching a Western, however what about women with guns?

The representation of the traditional masculine cowboy figure in Western films has been a long-standing trope in Hollywood. John Ford's The Searchers is a perfect example of this, as the male protagonists embody this stereotypical image of the rugged cowboy. However, in recent years, there has been a shift in how the cowboy figure is presented in films. Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain challenges the stereotypical role of the cowboy by exploring the complexities of male relationships through a queer

Before the 1940s the western genera was not respected enough to be considered fare for Hollywood’s A list. John Ford is responsible for a number of successful and notable westerns such as Stagecoach and The Searchers, both staring John Wayne and both cited as being responsible for bringing the western genera into Hollywood’s mainstream.

Art of Film: Dead Man The Film Dead Man starring Jonny Depp, a classic western with cowboys, guns, horses, and Indians, I personally thought the film was quite strange, however I did enjoy the soundtrack, the single guitar with the unique patterns that matched the situations and motions perfectly, even though I am not a huge fan of westerns as a genre I will agree that the movie was pretty different from a normal westerns. In the beginning of the movie the main character William Blake (Johnny Depp)
