Those examples above show who's getting the haircut. Because their crowd controls government and own the mass media, few get to see the stories line up to create the big picture.
In all seriousness, westerns are a bridge to another universe. They give me a chance to think about life without the fears of sudden death which surround us today. Even a tinhorn like me can solve their problems when there are two sides to stand on.
I also use westerns to talk with senior citizens. They almost always smile or laugh upon hearing the name "Randolph Scott!" They may not have thought of him in a loooong time, but they invariably enjoyed (or in the cases of one young girl now near the end of life's course, "endured"
his pictures. Same goes for bringing up Alan Ladd in "Shane" and Joel McCea in "The Lone Hand."
I like to write SF and dig all genres of film, but westerns are about my faves. In Detroit, COMCAST offers the Starz Encore Western Network...
"It's like a book," Half-Soldier told Angel Eyes. "Now, what's the name of that town? Someplace fairly near?"
What are your taste in westerns, senz? What pictures do you like?
