Evidently, this paper focuses on westerns as the main theme; this movie depicts notions of molarity tales, ironic tales and describes the notion of a classical look of the old western times. Additionally, this film genre has portrayed much about America 's past, glorifying the past-fading values and aspirations of the mythical by-gone age of the West. Over time, westerns have been re-defined, re-invented and expanded, dismissed, re-discovered, and spoofed. However, most western movie ideas derived from

Darling Clementine In the Western genre, according to Jim Kitses, anyone is able to understand it as a genre articulating a cultural mythology (Belton 249). In this case, the American psyche. It has been said that the Western represents the myth of the frontier, which meant the unsettled land at the edge of the frontier where land was unlimited and free for any man to claim. This notion dates back to the late nineteenth-century. Accordingly, Hollywood produced more Western films than any other genre

Violent 1900’s Clint Eastwood, one of the most famous actor and directors of all time born on May 31, 1930. He has been known for a long time in Hollywood and around the world.

was once a film genre that dominated the silver screens for over 30 years. That genre is the western, a genre that saw its golden age from the 1930’s to the 1960’s with classics like Sergio Leone’s Dollars trilogy (1964-1966), Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), and John Ford’s The Searchers (1956), though with such films like James Mangold’s 3:10 to Yuma (2007) and David Mackenzie’s Hell or High, westerns in the modern stay still have an audience.

The earliest British feature-length Western to depict Native Americans (and coincidentally the first Western to be filmed in Spain) was Raoul Walsh’s comedy The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw (1958). Although Walsh was American born, the film’s production was based at London’s Pinewood Studios under the guidance of British producer Daniel M. Angel. Additionally, rather than selecting a rugged John Wayne-style figure to be the hero of the film, The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw featured English actor Kenneth

Destry Rides Again and Support Your Local Sheriff are classified as a classical plot of western films, so it is no doubt that they share similar structures. Shane, Destry, and McCullough exist in societies as strangers, but they use their special skills to defeat villains who threaten the citizens. Wright summarizes formulations to western films, which help audiences to recognize the differentiation in western films. He analyzes most films of classical plot into sixteen steps.

“classic” elements of The Western as a genre is dominated by the differences and relationship between society and the lone hero. As the narrative captures this relationship other “classic” elements of The Western are put on display. According to Will Wright, these elements include the secondary class that women hold to men in society as the Easternization of the world, the root of good versus evil, and wilderness versus civilization. These elements are directly correlated to The Western film Shane (1953)

civil war, and even after reconstruction, was a place filled with surprising and fascinating characters, including the well-known and quite stereotypical character of the western cowboy. Though not all cowboys are presented in a bad or harsh manner, some, including the ones in George P. Cosmatos’ gritty and bloody “shoot ‘em up” western film, are. While some may be dubious of the apparent luck and skill of some of the gunmen such as Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp, many of the gunfights did have real witnesses

The opening sequence of Spaghetti Western film, Once Upon a Time in the West (Sergio Leone, 1968), showcases how director, Sergio Leone, utilises the formal properties of the medium of cinema to produce meaning for the audience and foreshadow later events and themes which arise throughout the development of the plot. The film opens with a single scene of a mysterious, harmonica-playing gunman (Charles Bronson), embroiled in a showdown with three men that have been drafted to kill him (Jack Elam,

I would consider the ‘Walking Dead’ a western but more of a modernized Sci-Fi type of western. In the article by Massik, Solomon “The Walking Dead, Westerns, and the New Westerns” it describes how the ‘Walking Dead’ is a western because of the guns, violence and the lawless frontier. I agree with this because that’s how I imagine most westerns be with people with guns and they were allowed to use them more freely than what they are now. Western males always had guns at hand just like in the ‘Walking
