There are many differences and similarities between the movie The Outsiders and the book. I enjoyed both the movie and the book but the movie definitely left out many key details. It was nice to see the story come to life with the actors, and how they portrayed them. The movie didn’t perfectly capture the book the way I thought it would but it still was great. I feel like if they changed a few scenes and added some the movie could be even better.

The Western genre is undoubtedly one that is governed by the traditional male 'hero' and its masculine stereotypes.

Brokeback Mountain, being the more homosexual romance-oriented Western that it is, subverts a large number of the typical traditional elements of the Western film genre as a whole, this one especially, by having another male be in the position of the love interest of the hero. Although this subversion in particular is very problematic for Jack, as it puts him in the shoes of being associated with all things relating to femininity in the relationship.
