Jim sings “this land is mine/all the way to the old fence line” (Carmody) illustrating the white settlers’ view traditional view of land ownership, that they have dominion over the land – seeing it as a possession – and are somewhat of a king upon

The story formula for Stagecoach structures around characters in the Tonto and introducing the characters, traveling to Lordsburg, stopping at Dry Fork way station for food and unforgettable dinner table scene, traveling towards Apache Wells in the snow, Mrs. Mallory’s baby born in Apache Wells, finally getting to Lordsburg but got attacked by the Indians, and ended with Ringo Kid in a shooting conflict. Stagecoach did a great job in the characters types. There are the protagonists, prostitute, gambler, schoolmarm. These are the specific character types in Western movies. The setting of the movie is on point. It’s in the American West and takes place in the 1880s. The location of Monument Valley is a favorite location for John Ford.

Like John Wayne, he stars in many Western movies. What makes Stagecoach a western is the traditional western theme. Like the fight between whites and Native Americans. There is a good use of the American West’s open plains and mountains.

The first is the sexual violence that occurred between LaHood’s son, Josh, and Megan, and the second is the the violence that the Preacher partakes in and what is his reasoning behind it.

Based closely off the events surrounding the murders committed by Charles Starkwhether and his accomplice Carol Ann Fugate in the late 1950’s Terence Malick’s Badlands stands as one of the cornerstones in the crime genre in the ways in which it relies “upon the basic framework and preoccupations of an established genre, the road movie, Badlands twists, defamiliarises and critiques its familiar coordinates” in a way that transforms it into something much more. In this chapter I will look at how Martin Sheen’s character, Kit (based upon Starkwhether) is portrayed and indirectly presented to the audience through eyes of fifteen year old Holly (based upon Fugate). In particular, I shall address how the mind of a teenage girl in love may influence
