This past week in EMS30 our class watched a Western film from 1951 starring Burt Lancaster, Robert Walker and Joanne Dru. As is typical for most Western's, it had very little plot line and was all about cowboys on horses with guns. Truly a boring movie. To be honest I read a book while we were supposed to be watching it most of the time. I really can't think of anybody who would enjoy watching this type of movie, I've seen quite a few of them in my time; all of which I've been forced to watch at school. I've hated them for as long as I can remember. They don't really have much of a plot line, and what plot line they do have is so garbled by their old fashioned way of speaking it's totally lost on the audience.
Honestly I can't think of any way to make these types of movies more interesting for the audience, not one way. Nobody cares about Westerns anymore. They're boring and kinda lame. The characters in these movies have no life story, they just go about hurting animals and being all 'tough' and 'manly'. The characters are all shallow and mean. And there are no effects because these types of movies have pretty much stopped being made because the directors finally realize how much EVERYBODY hates these movies. I wish teachers would realize nobody wants to watch them and stop forcing ME to watch them in school.
