I recently watched the two movies Stagecoach and Waterworld. Overall the two films are action packed throughout and contain enjoyable storylines that I would recommend to others. Stagecoach is your typical western movie based in a hot desert town that includes all the classic aspects of the western genre.

Waterworld on the other hand still has some of these classical elements but with a futuristic twist and a whole different setting making it arguably a western movie.

The fact that in the new testament it tells the end of the world and the coming kingdom is very similar to the sinister apocalyptic cowboy of world ending destruction. Showing conquest, war, pestilence and death itself.

“Shane” is an Old Western movie that represents the western lifestyle and perspective of manhood. It was one of the unsurpassed movies produced in 1953.

This creates tragic events and conflicts between the family members themselves, and the family members with Fletcher and his men.
