"The Wildcats," a Western to perfection

American Westerns should be starting to go downhill at this point. The background of the film is also at the end of the cowboy era, from nomadic wasteland to settled farming, trying to put down the gun in his hand. Soothing shots and music are common features of postwar cinema

Judging from the genre inventory of westerns, one can understand the flaws pointed out by some comments, especially the Shaun portrayed by Alan Lard, who is so clean that he is not like a Western Ranger but more like an urban male puppet, and lacks a match with the plot description. The physique and convincing power: he punched Ben Johnson, who was half his head, out of the house with one punch. From the point of view of type variables, this film is indeed unique. The ambiguity between the child's perspective and his mother is generally mentioned, and Van Hevelin's father is obviously ignored. Stevens spent a considerable amount of space to show the self-cultivation farmer's belief and courage not to lose or even surpass the Western Ranger. Certain key bridges were intentionally placed in the center of the frame through framing and space-occupying, squeezing Sean to the edge of the frame. Even the entire group of self-cultivating farmers, facing the bullying behavior of ranchers, while showing reasonable personality differences and diverse reactions, as a whole, they moved in the general direction of active resistance. No family fled the canyon, and even more people died on the battlefield! This is seriously separated from the cowardly town of "Noon". In the relationship between the people and the hero, the film is more active than noon. On the contrary, its heroes are exhausted and fighting, and they must be reactivated by the cruel reality and popular enthusiasm.
