The almost perfect symmetrical structure leads to the story of the struggle between the three stars. The double metaphor of shooting liberty and valance (violence) expands the depth of speculation. The traditional mainstream values such as justice and rule of law represented by Rance eventually replaced Wayne and Marvin. Representative of the Western value system, but Ford asked whether it really worked. After all, the time has come to 1962. Westerns and even super-westerns have been declining. A blockbuster film made after desperation. Just like the scene of the duel in the film, at the door of the iconic bar, the hero who once stood under the scorching sun or under the street lamp lowered the brim and prepared to draw his gun, now stands in the shadow of the corner, witnessing the evil forces and the moderate justice axioms. He wiped his gun and went off, and then gave him a shot at the right time. After the incident, he went to hide his fame and fame, so we know that Ford still has the thoughts of the heyday of Western films in his heart. Especially in the last paragraph, Rance's career with this gun went smoothly, and the story became a legend. When he lowered his head, only he knew that it was the hero who laid everything today. Isn't this a historical portrait of the iterative change of the genre? However, Ford cleverly expressed his boast that westerns led the wave of latecomers, and he also sighed in vain that it was no longer brilliant, and of course he was proud of overlooking the genres that will follow in the future.
