This region has also been named far west - and this is where the term used in Brazil and Portugal, westerns (also used by the term juvenile explosion, in promoting old matinees and comics) comes from this. Westerns can be any form of art that represent, in a way that events of this time and region. In addition to cinema, you can mention sculptures, literature, painting and television programs. Although westerns have been one of the most popular movie genres in the history of cinema and still have many fans, the production of films of this genre is almost residual in times that work, especially after the commercial disaster of the film Gates of Heaven (The Gates of Heaven in Portugal and the portal of paradise in Brazil), by Michael Chamino, in the early 1980s. However, there have been more recent commercial successes that have even won an Academy Award for best film, such as Kevin Costner's Dancing with the Wolves or Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven. But the westerns that come to the memory of most moviegoers, even those of their golden age: the films of John Ford, Howard Hawkes, among other top names in the cinema. The main features of westerns, defined by the French critic Andre Bazin as American cinema par excellence, in his book What is cinema?, were also considered by one of its main creators, Clint Eastwood, as the only original American art form, with the exception of jazz. The western scenario, as has already been said, is the Wild West of the United States, from the Mississippi line, from the period preceding the American Civil War (Antebellum) at the turn of the twentieth century. This is the time of occupation of land; Creation of large livestock farms; combating Indians and their segregation; gold races in California; demand for promised land (such as the creation of Utah's Mormons) and the war in Texas. The typical image of a cowboy The most common type of character of this movie genre is that of a lone cowboy (strictly, we don't even have to call them cowboys because they're not always pastoralists, often being gunlingers, thugs, players, sheriffs, diggers or, simply, strays) who roam stray from town to town, possessing only the clothes he carries on his body, a revolver and a horse( and a horse( A classic example of a lone action movie is Shane (from the 1953 film of the same name, known in Brazil as Brutes also love). Cities usually consist of only one main avenue, where the salon (gambling, alcohol and, eventually prostitution), and the prison where the sheriff lives, stand out. The technology of the time often seemed to be a counterpoint to young people, without the law, except the law on power and weapons. Thus, the telegraph (constantly destroyed by groups of bandits or Indians), the locomotive and even the press appear as elements foreshadowing the arrival of civilization and order and symbolizing the near-wild way of life of the western border. The belief in the Manifesto of Destiny, under which the continent's ownership of the Atlantic Ocean in the Pacific Ocean was destined, by divine providence, is often found among the characters seeking the West in search of a glorious future driven by patriotic ideals. Dramatic physical pursuits and confrontations, in the duel genre, are the most commonly used methods to emphasize the main ingredient of the idea of imminent danger, in a society where risks occur daily and where violence seems to be the only way to ensure security. The idea of the journey is constant: cowboys cross long stretches of territory with cattle; stage work cuts through the roads of ermas, stopping at some meagre hotels; caravans roam the inhospitable plains, and sometimes the fort, which signify the military presence of settlers. Monument Valley, Arizona, is a recurring setting in many of the most famous westerns It's basically just with these elements that some of the most famous movies have been created. In terms of storytelling, stories are often linear, without big plots, with clearly defined morality (as always, goodness must win anyway). As a backdrop, the landscape is marked by large open spaces such as Monument Valley, which have become symbolic and can almost take over as the main character of the film. The western characters also identify themselves with these spaces and the relationship between the earth and the open air. Another frequent element is the conflict between white settlers and indigenous peoples. The Western genre itself includes a few subgenres, such as epic westerns, so-called shots (where action and filming occur irrationally), musicals, drama, tragedy and even some comedy and parodies. The main elements of the classic western were later reinterpreted, criticized and questioned by films that could be seen as part of the revisionist western. Cowboys and arrows often play an important role in these films - which is infamous in the popular way these films are labeled in Portuguese. Fights with Indians also occur frequently, occupying these, in general, the role of a threat; revisionist westerns then intended to be more benevolent to the role of indigenous peoples, and they took the place of In the 1970s, several copies of this trend appeared: The Little Big Man, which shows the former revered hero General Custer as an ambitious and unbalanced man; A man named Horse, the first in a trilogy with English actor Richard Harris; and Soldier Blue (When it takes to be a man in Brazil), from 1970, with Candice Bergen, which shows shocking scenes of Indian massacre. Other recurring themes are traveling across the American West, or attacking more or less organized groups of thugs who terrorize small nascent cities, as happens in the Magnificent Seven (The Magnificent Seven in Portugal, and seven people and destinations in Brazil). Westerns and popular culture World popular culture, now heavily dependent on American culture because of globalization, tends to prefer and appreciate a culture of honor, as opposed to a culture of law and law. Westerns depict a society in which a person is valued for the struggle he establishes with his surroundings, and where codes of honor (not to shoot in the back, for example) intersect with the law and where the social hierarchy is established on the basis of reputation, earned by acts of violence or creative generosity depending on human relationships. These themes are not unique to the Western and feature many gangster films, revenge films and, in a more global perspective, samurai films (Japanese film genre) that have sometimes inspired the arguments of some famous westerns such as The Magnificent Seven, 1960, based on Shichinin's Samurai (Seven Samurai), a 1954 akira Kurosawa film. Civilization is not always seen as a blessing to be achieved. Sometimes it is even considered a pathetic, fate-threatening courageous way of life, highly valued by the collective subconscious. Hollywood westerns Justus D. Barnes in the famous 1903 Western pioneer The Great Robbery train image in the movies, the western dates back to the productions of Keith Carson in 1903 and the Great Train Heist, a silent film directed by Edwin S. Porter and starring Broncho Billy Anderson. Made in 1903, his popularity among the audience at the time earned Anderson the privilege of becoming the first cowboy movie star, as was the case in hundreds of short films in which he later participated. But the competition did not wait, and William S. Hart soon became another star of art, which took its first steps. It is interesting to see that the first film, shot in Hollywood in 1910, in Old California, D.W. Griffith, was a western. In fact, Griffith is often touted as the genre's great artistic restorer. Another film, Squaw Man, from 1914, in which Cecil B. DeMille, will be the first feature film made in Mecca cinema.

  • Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema
    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone.

INTRODUCTION “Law and order” became a potent theme in American politics in the 1960s. With that simple phrase, politicians evoked a litany of troubles plaguing the country, from street crime to racial unrest, urban riots, and unruly student protests. Calling for law and order became a shorthand way of expressing contempt for everything that was wrong with the modern permissive society and calling for a return to the discipline and values of the past. The law and order rallying cry also signified intense opposition to the Supreme Court’s expansion of the constitutional rights of accused criminals. In the eyes of law and order conservatives, judges needed to stop coddling criminals and letting them go free on legal technicalities. In 1968, Richard Nixon made himself the law and order candidate and won the White House, and his administration continued to trumpet the law and order theme and blame weak-kneed liberals, The William R.

    THE AMERICAN INDIAN IN THE AMERICAN FILM Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in American Studies in the University of Canterbury by Michael J. Brathwaite 1981 ABSTRACT This thesis is a chronological examination of the ways in which American Indians have been portrayed in American 1 f.ilms and the factors influencing these portrayals. B eginning with the literary precedents, the effects of three wars and other social upheavals and changes are considered. In addition t-0 being the first objective detailed examination of the subj�ct in English, it is the first work to cover the last decade. It concludes that because of psychological factors it is unlikely that film-makers are - capable of advancing far beyond the basic stereotypes, and that the failure of Indians to appreciate this has repeatedly caused ill-feeling between themselves and the film-makers, making the latter abandon their attempts at a fair treatment of the Indians. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface iii Chapter I: The Background of the Problem c.1630 to c.1900. 1 Chapter II: The Birth of the Cinema and Its Aftermath: 1889 to 1939. 21 Chapter III: World War II and Its Effects: 1940 to 1955. 42 Chapter IV: Assimilation of Separatism?: 1953 to 1965. 65 Chapter V: The Accuracy Question. 80 Chapter VI: Catch-22: 1965 to 1972. 105 Chapter VII: Back to the Beginning: 1973 to 1981. 136 Chapter VIII: Conclusion. 153 Bibliography 156 iii PREFACE The aim of this the.sis is to examine the ways in which the American Indians have been portrayed in American films, the influences on their portrayals, and whether or not they have changed.

    NO. 45 -ii u rm j A . FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Museum of Modern Art 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart THE HISTORY OF FILM The fourth in The Museum of Modern Art's cycles presenting "The History of Film" will begin on Sunday June 6 at 5:00 with a series of short films by Edison, Lumiere, Melies, and others representing the birth of the cinema. The three year cycle, presented ewery Sunday evening at 5:00 through April 29, 1979, will trace the evolution of film from these early works through such masters as Griffith, Chaplin, von Stroheim, and King Vidor and concluding with the recent works "Death in Venice" by Luchino Visconti and Robert Altman's "McCabe and Mrs. Miller." This major series, consisting of 148 weekly programs, was organized by Jon Gartenberg, Curatorial Assistant in the Department of Film and is designed to show that film history is "a network of interrelationships and influences between one work and another over the past eighty years." Thus, though a great many classic films are not included, many lesser-known but historically important films will be shown and such phenomena as the beginnings of the motion picture, early experiments with sound, and the development of such genres as Westerns, the historical drama, and movie serials will be examined. While examples of foreign films, shorts, avant- garde, and animated films are included, the primary emphasis of the cycle is to show the development of the American feature film from its roots through 1971.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Brad D. Foster for the degree of Master of Arts in English presented on July 16, 2007. Title: Constructing a Heroic Identity: Masculinity and the Western Film Abstract approved: ____________________________________________________________________ Jon Lewis This thesis employs the study of gender to demonstrate how recent Hollywood western films have constructed a hero that is reflective of contemporary beliefs regarding masculinity. Beginning with a New Historicist approach at studying gender, this work first considers the construction of masculinity in post World War II America and traces the evolution of the western hero’s masculinity from its iconic state in the 1950’s through it trial during second wave feminism, its rebuilding during the Reagan years, and its refinement within recent Hollywood films. This thesis considers each period of western films as a representation and reflection of its current culture, and as a result ultimately argues that the western genre has recently endeavored to perpetuate the conservative cultural view that a marital union is the ideal in contemporary American society. In tracing the progression of masculinity in the western hero, through cultural and textual readings, this thesis concludes that today’s paragon of the masculine western hero is more subject to domesticity and as such is more likely than its 1950s predecessors to accept marital living. © Copyright by Brad D.
