StageCoach. In my opinion this movie was not as interesting and i thought it would be. I think tat the action themes in western movies are pretty dang entertaining. In the movie during the battle scene this movie made it play out to see that Indians (Native Americans) are evil blood thirsty people that are completely and utterly disliked and she be destroyed but as a audience i dont exactly think we are supposed to sit and understand the history behind this actual scene, i think that we are supposed to see within the characters eyes and not yet our own. Also in the movie i noticed that during the end we would expect an awesome and riveting battle scene with Ringo but it turns out that you dont actually see the real shooting lke the man dying or anything and i thought that kind of took the greatness of the movie out. Critics say that this movie is the start of all the great Western American Films. In some ways i can understand that and in other ways it puzzles me. Is it maybe that i have seen so many diff versions of western movies that im not used to this kind? But overall i give it 3 stars out of 5. We will see if my attitude changes when we see Unforgiven

Ya I agree with you, we are not suppose to sit there thinking the Native Americans are being portray wrongly, but instead just follow the plot as it is.
Western, it seems, are a product of their times. This accounts for the biased plot,their idealism, the portrayal of Indians and the fake, overacted shootouts. I would wager that the same movie made today would have much more appeal. Violence wouldn't seem forced and the narration would certainly be different. The genre's apex was shortlived, and we never got to see how the Western would have changed as time progressed.
