The plot takes on a very western ideal and similar other western films. Where a rich corrupt bad guy uses his lawmen to oppress the people of the town, and a band of heroes must rescue them and defeat the so-called villain in the movie Silverado. The movie also embodies the idea of coming together to repress the bandits that are harm loved ones and the town. The scene occurred when two of the heros were riding on the way to deal with the bandit problem and then the last two hero join in riding on the side to help. This is very American back then it was about standing against Britain’s right to tax the colonies. It was dealt with a group of colonist disguised as Indians boarded three ships in Boston and threw over 300 chest of tea into the
The Tab Murphy and Wilford Brimley, “Last of the Dogmen” is a story of a “distinct” Cheyenne tribe, in which architectures search for the reason why the culture disappeared. The movie has two different worlds that interact with one another and soon will become one or the same in the beginning. In “Last of the Dogmen” the message and story would be clear because of what the tribe wants and the other wants the knowledge of the tribe, both would want different things because of the peace that they want. This film has become my favorite movie since it had been played throughout my

This film is an example of a classic Western film, with elements that reflect a uniqueness about the film in comparison to other Westerns, both cinematically and thematically.

Ford’s Stagecoach is an epic and revolutionary approach that displays the desert terrain and western inhabitant’s struggles. Stagecoach follows the lives of seven strangers in their attempt to arrive to Lordsburg, New Mexico. Each of these characters reflects the various types of people found in the western world. The film is laced with many American ideals of the time such as xenophobia, chivalry, the conventional standards of women, and much more. Stagecoach defies the conventional western film because it is no longer just men in a desert terrain with rifles.

The Indians are finally presented in the movie by the screen scanning across a wide-open desert very peaceful and deserted. In the middle of all this silence the camera fell upon a skeleton of a human that we assume the Indians killed. This is how the movie sets the tone for how we are going to think about the Indians. They play with the stereotype that all us Americans think are true about the Indians. At first we think that we were right, but the story does not end there.
The Native American Sioux have long standing traditions which predate the establishment of the United States, yet the American government stripped the majority of Native Americans from their lands and placed them on reservations where they can hardly carry out any of their customs. The motion picture, Thunderheart, tells an adaptation of the incident at Oglala, where the main protagonist, FBI agent Raymond Levoi, and his partner Frank Coutelle have to investigate the murder of a local pro-government Indian supporter. Thunderheart conveys three main images throughout the film which includes ceremonial tobacco pipe to show that American government agencies always hide their true
In this movie, one may observe the different attitudes that Americans had towards Indians. The Indians were those unconquered people to the west and the almighty brave, Mountain Man went there, “forgetting all the troubles he knew,” and away from civilization. The mountain man is going in search of adventure but as this “adventure” starts he finds that his survival skills are not helping him since he cant even fish and as he is seen by an Indian, who watches him at his attempt to fish, he start respecting them. The view that civilization had given him of the west changes and so does he. Civilization soon becomes just something that exists “down there.”
