Welcome to my blog. I write about film. Just remember - there's no fighting in the war room!

The Western genre oftens focuses its lense on the sheriff of a town, glorifying their struggle to keep order amongst the forces of nature and evildoers. Rio Bravo (1959) is no exception to this trope, following the sheriff in the town of Rio Bravo, Texas, as he and his team face off against a local rancher’s gang.
Westerns are structurally built on concepts in a state of duality - hero/villain, nature/civilization, cowboy/Indian - and the classic western My Darling Clementine (1946) is an embodiment of the genre’s focus on the pairings of diametrically opposed forces.
Stagecoach (1939) is the story of a group of travelers that book passage on a stagecoach despite the looming threat of ravaging Apache Indians along their route.
