On tv last night, I saw one of -- if not the -- last films he made, "Tom Horn"; a fiction documentary about the life of one of the last western free souls. The movie ends (not a spoiler - it really happened) with Horn being hanged in 1903 for murder based on circumstance and politics.
The movie was released (and probably made) in 1980, the same year that McQueen died from cancer. He was probably sick with it when he made the flick.
I was wondering:
Did he choose this movie because it ended with Horn saying his farewell; just as McQueen might have wanted to say to his fans? I wonder if he used this story as a vehicle to give his own message?
