[QUOTE]Originally posted by IWISHIHAD: [QB] Quote Machiavelli: "10 ... JW's characters went by rules in a gun fight... damnit there is no rules in a street gun fight lol sort of like if we ourselves got into a street fight and made up a rule that no hitting each other in the ballz... Clint's gunfights were more realistic in terms of no rules and much more exciting... JW's gun fights tend to bore me and not realistic... the ole white hat and black hat and white hat kills black hat and gets the girl and walks into the sunset... get's overdone imo... There was nothing "clean" about the Old West... The only movies that I like of JW (hated his politics and hated how he portrayed himself as patriotic but avoided serving in WW2 unlike Jimmy Stewart and others who did serve)off the top of my head was : The Quiet Man The Horse Soldiers The Green Berets (totally unrealistic)' _________________________________________________ Again different styles of westerns and different style of actors in some ways. They both portray tough guys in their own different ways. I also think that John Wayne Westerns portrayed what many people still wanted to feel. They wanted fairness and morality and cheating was not the thing to do. Fair gun fight, fair fights, no shooting in the back etc. This was and era that was changing and we were still part of the 50's in a sense, most of our parents were still alive and fairly young. Some of us here were in our younger years during these times. There were a lot of changes that were going on and books, internet etc. can't completely explain these times. Not even sure i can explain it. Those italian westerns seem to have had a short live era. I would assume if they thought there was enough following for that type of western in the US they would have kept making them. There has been enough westerns made since and they don't seem to follow that format. Actually one of my favorite Clint movies besides Space Cowboys was Heartbreak Ridge. As far as the movie Green Berets, are you sure that was totally unrealistic, what do you base your opinion on? [/QB][/QUOTE]
