7/10
The Birth of the Western
27 April 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This film is very simple and straight forward. By today's standards there is nothing remotely new. However, when looked at in the context of the time it was released, it is easy to see how influential this movie would become. So many future films, particularly westerns, can be traced back to the basic formula of this movie. The final scene of Goodfellas even has an homage to this film. Apparently, audiences at the time jumped out of their seats with fear at the last scene, which I can understand for a person who had never seen a movie in their life.

Recommended to anyone interested in the history of film making.

7/10

...but that's just like, my opinion, man
