Brief introduction of western films

Any kind of deification is expressed through specific drama programs. In the apotheosis of westerns, what we see is mostly that good white immigrants are threatened by violence, and heroic cowboys and law enforcers are protected from violence, and almost all the enemies are wiped out. Most cowboys come from other provinces. He is very brave. He walks away after doing good deeds, which often makes people feel that they don't know where he comes from or where he is going, just like a nomadic people. Among them, the film also needs a certain space to express, cowboy's experience, love at first sight for innocent girls or women and so on. And in the violent conflict, try to show the cowboy demeanor. John ford's Over the Mountain, also known as Post Car (1938), is one of the most representative western films. This film not only shows personal manners and ethics, but also fully shows the value of a community. All the conflicts in the film are shown in the action. Open wilderness, closed post office cars and dark towns all provide different environments for the conflict. The apotheosis of westerns is also about the apotheosis of horses. It can be said that there would be no westerns without horses, and horses have brought strong sports forms and rhythmic effects to westerns. Western films have easily recognizable image symbols, and the plot and characters are completely modeled and formulated. Thomas Schatz once described: "A lonely westerner rode to an idyllic valley and was accused by an anxious farmer of being a gunman hired by an anarchist rancher (The Miracle of the Wilderness, directed by george stevens,1953); Lonely cyclists stopped halfway up the mountain to watch railway workers blow up tunnels above him, and below him were a group of gangsters who robbed postal cars (Johnny Gita, director of nicholas ray,1954); In the distance, there was a train whistle, and a black snake-shaped train was winding in the vast space of the plain (Two Tigers Slaughtering Dragons, directed by john ford, 1962). The opening paragraph of the western film will clearly see its narrative conflict and basic narrative characteristics. This also represents the formal characteristics of standardized production.

Later, similar westerns were produced in Italy. Because Italians like macaroni strips, they are called noodle westerns. Key words: cowboy, revolver, gangster, sheriff, horse, cactus, pub, desert, caravan, Indian. ...

In the summer of 200012000, a low-budget western film, American hooligan, once topped the American box office list, which made the western film that had been silent for several years re-enter people's sight. Of all the film types in Hollywood, only westerns are considered as "native products" of the United States. Numerous legends have been born in the vast wilderness of West Yuan. According to the "rules of the game" of western movies, there should be a cowboy with a wide-brimmed hat and a revolver around his waist, who looks rough and handsome and represents the righteous side, and also a gangster who is bullying and representing evil. The symbol of the western regions-endless wilderness and desolate towns are even more essential, and there must be an earth-shattering duel between good and evil.
