Western Unit
I personally was not a big fan of the Western unit. I think their too much alike. Like, each film has the same idea behind then next one. It's also very degrading of women, for the most part. It's not that I don't enjoy them, some I do, but the whole idea behind a "western" film is the part I don't like. If I had to pick what I preferred, I would for sure say a revisionist western. Probably just because their not so stereotypical towards women and Indians. For my Journal#3 I watched Young Guns. I HATED IT. It was too much for me. I usually tend to like scary movies, but this was just too much. There was tons and tons of shoot outs, the whole thing was killing people, or trying to kill people. I thought the plot was kind of silly. Don't watch it... I'm not sure where this is going but me saying what I dislike about westerns, so maybe I'll stop.

Maggie,
I agree about the whole degrading women and indian thing.. i found that kind of annoying. Basically i agree with everything you said here! Good Job! :)
I agree. Each western has so many similarities that it gets really repetitive and uninteresting. Each movie is very predictable because they are all so similar. I also agree with the degration of women. One of the genres characteristics is having a prostitute in each movie ergo definatly degrating.
So if I like a lot of shooting and killing then would I like "Young Guns"? Or should I still not watch it? Anyways, I agree with your ideas that they're too much alike. Nice job...?!?
i think you are wright about the western most of is about robbers and shooters no plot.
