Deets death was just as hard on me. He was such a pure soul. Genuinely cared about that little blind boy and didn’t drop him even when he was speared through the chest. Call made his first head stone and Gus teared up reading it. 😥

@D-MAN19943 жыл бұрын
@@harrisonnoel2720 I respect your opinion, I don't want you to think I'm knocking you, because I'm not, but I have to disagree with High Noon. High noon was a subversive propaganda film written by a pro Communist screen writer named Carl Foreman. The lone Sheriff represented the Left-wing pro communist actors of the time, and the villain represented HUAC (House of Un-American Activities Committee). During that period of the 20th century many big name stars who were open Communists were being blacklisted by HUAC for the Communist propaganda they were putting in their films and trying to brainwash the viewer into believing conservatives were evil and they were saints. Again I'm not attacking you, if you like the film more power to you. I just prefer Westerns and any other film genre to not having any political bias, but just be a legit piece of entertainment. That is why I don't agree with it being the greatest western.

My darling Josh, there are still men who are stout of heart and true heroes in this world. Lonesome Dove is a reminder of steadfast friendship, allegiance to your values and grit in the face of adversity. That person comes in all sizes, colors and might be a woman or even an old man. The trick is to seek them out for they are your true kinfolk. God bless and be safe🕊
