Document Summary
First western movie 1903 the great train robbery , developed through repetition in hollywood drama. Wasn"t taken very seriously, as it was a b-movie (mass produced, low budget). In-cap scene: come live with me, i have a ranch. Western silent film director who transitioned into sound pretty well. Many silent films, the big / classic western: the iron horse and 3 bad men. Plotlines: laying out the railroad and 3 outlaws who help people. 1930s directed non-western films: the informer and the long voyage home. 1939 stagecoach , returns to western, a summary film that revitalized the western genre. Trailer doesn"t have anything particularly new archetypal characters, typical story, essentially a summarization of everything in the genre. However, ford brought reality in, giving interest to characters and landscape, with an unconventional push-in close-up that made. John ford spent quality time developing character relationships, emphasizing the difference between social standing and the relationship between male and female protagonists.
