In Reply to: Two extremes: The Wild Bunch & Silverado! One gritty and realistic, the other romanticized; both are excellent. posted by Audiophilander on January 29, 2010 at 10:41:56:
never misses, the villains never hit anything. Films like "Pale Rider" which only work as allegories aren't Western enough for me. Philosophic pretension and Westerns? Not for me.
Boetticher had a very unique vision of the West, of the struggles, and he also understood that in a lawless country, right and wrong seldom were pure distillations.
Anyhow, I think you'd like this film. Boone is creepy, murderous... but he is human and not a caricature of evil.
