108 Kansas History “Facing This Vast Hardness”: the Plains Landscape and the People Shaped by It in Recent Kansas/Plains Film
Premiere of Dark Command, Lawrence, 1940. Courtesy of the Douglas County Historical Society, Watkins Museum of History, Lawrence, Kansas. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 38 (Summer 2015): 108–135 108 Kansas History “Facing This Vast Hardness”: The Plains Landscape and the People Shaped by It in Recent Kansas/Plains Film edited and introduced by Thomas Prasch ut the great fact was the land itself which seemed to overwhelm the little beginnings of human society that struggled in its sombre wastes. It was from facing this vast hardness that the boy’s mouth had become so “ bitter; because he felt that men were too weak to make any mark here, that the land wanted to be let alone, to preserve its own fierce strength, its peculiar, savage kind of beauty, its uninterrupted mournfulness” (Willa Cather, O Pioneers! [1913], p. 15): so the young boy Emil, looking out at twilight from the wagon that bears him backB to his homestead, sees the prairie landscape with which his family, like all the pioneers scattered in its vastness, must grapple. And in that contest between humanity and land, the land often triumphed, driving would-be settlers off, or into madness. Indeed, madness haunts the pages of Cather’s tale, from the quirks of “Crazy Ivar” to the insanity that leads Frank Shabata down the road to murder and prison. “Prairie madness”: the idea haunts the literature and memoirs of the early Great Plains settlers, returns with a vengeance during the Dust Bowl 1930s, and surfaces with striking regularity even in recent writing of and about the plains. -

A Million Ways to Die in the West

Screenplay by Seth MacFarlane, Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild. Photography by Michael Barrett. Music by Seth Linn. Length: 116 minutes. Production Company: Media Rights Capitol and Fuzzy Door Productions. Bluegrass Films. Universal Pictures Distribution. Cinematic Release May 2014. Available on DVD. Rating *** 30% 2 All images are taken from the Public Domain using Google requested permission steps and are legal for review purposes. CAST Albert Stark: Seth MacFarlane Anna: Charlize Theron Louise: Amanda Seyfried Clinch Leatherwood: Liam Neeson Edward: Giovanni Ribisi Ruth: Sarah Silverman Foy: Neal Patrick Harris Lewis: Evan Jones Sherriff: Rex Linn Millie: Alex Borstein Old Time Miner: Matt Clark Cochise: Wes Studi Albert’s Father: Christopher Hagen The Pastor: John Alword Dan: Ralph Garman Abraham Lincoln: Gilbert Gottifried Django: Jamie Foxx Usually this reviewer is a pushover for Hollywood westerns, not this time. If only three adjectives could be applied to this film they would be puerile, crass and disappointing. 3 A Million Ways to Die in the West begins promisingly. We are faced with the action straight away as a sheep farmer Albert Stark (played by director/ star/ co-producer/ co-writer Seth MacFarlane) reluctantly faces a main street gunfight. The smiling crowds are gathered hopefully expecting a bloody shootout and are disappointed when Albert chickens out. He loses his girlfriend Louise (Amanda Seyfried) over this and when in the bar with his friends Ruth (Sarah Silverman) and Edward (Giovanni Ribisi) reveals that he hates the West and wants a city life in San Francisco. -
