I suppose the western genre is digging into a dream of a golden age lost and that is what this is about, the myth making that forms a cultural basis, or something like that. <br />My problem is mostly that this is the n'th time this theme has been proccessed and it has long ago gone into cliché-land.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-58520697030142230752017-10-17T02:48:34.612+03:002017-10-17T02:48:34.612+03:00I think I read something about a song, but I did n...I think I read something about a song, but I did not notice anything special in the movie.

Perhaps you need to be brought up in the genre to not just understand but truly <i>feel</i> what this is trying to do with the idea of legend and reality.

It tells the story of Rance Stoddard in the verses but the refrain is "the man who shot Liberty Valance, he was the bravest of them all".marie_dresslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334550550983418668noreply@blogger.com
