thoughts to the universe

I just finished watching 3:10 to Yuma-seriously good movie, and I was thinking about why we like watching westerns. Maybe it's because everyone had a gun-and knew how to shoot it. People with guns feel powerful. Maybe it's because good always wins, and sometimes even the bad turn good. Maybe we need a reminder that good always wins-even if it only happens at the end of the film. Maybe it's because there is always one person who stands up for what he believes in, a good ol'e boy who just wants his boys to be proud of him.
I think that a good western makes us proud to be Americans some how, makes men proud to be men, and women proud to love them. I do love Christian Bale and Russel Crowe :)
