Hollywood had to kill the classic Western. You can’t spew PC and destroy modern US culture by showing classic Westerns where good triumphs over evil, and the Cowboy code of honesty, hard work, chivalry, self-sufficiency and patriotism is constantly showing on the screen.
The classic Hollywood western movie espouses everything that Hollywood Liberals hate about conservatism and morality. No wonder it died a sudden death. I am constantly amazed when a great new Western movie leaks out of the Hollywood cesspool now and then.
Best modern Western I have seen recently, dealing with those issues and values, is Hell or High Water. Jeff Bridges is fantastic. Check it out.
