Last good Western was released 15 years ago

last good Western was released 15 years ago

What the hell happened? It used to be an incredibly popular genre

What more is there to explore? The 20th century did thousands of them.

Because the movie industry is dying

The Ballad of Lefty Brown was released 8 years ago.

I actually liked The Harder They Fall

Fuck you I liked it

why did Petra never get her own spinoff series where they followed her daily interactions in an all boys dorm

I still don't understand how this connects to the games.

I wonder if Chapter 2 will get me to care about the wagon train.

based western elelia enjoyer

Westerns haven't been culturally relevant for half a century.

Ballad of Buster Scruggs was fun

What has?

This was 2016

The last good western was Old Henry which was 4 years ago. Horizon wasn't bad either

Bone Tomahawk and

That's not meeks cutoff

They gaybombed it.

Kevin Costner

no thanks

I gots to know about muh Americunt historic dump society.

Buster Scruggs, Bone Tomahawk, The Revenant. For some reason, westerns die harder than most other genres. For example, there were almost no westerns at all in the entirety of the 1980s. The 2000s were pretty pathetic as well. The only one that comes to mind is 3:10 to Yuma and Jesse James. Clearly westerns don't have a lot of staying power as a genre

Bone tomahawk was good. Total troglodyte death

(((Modern))) audiences

They need to make red dead redemption show

Boomers cant get to theatres anymore they are too infirmed.

Django unchained?

nigger slop

Cast it

it empowers whites too much

Painfully uninteresting
Also definitely this

This was the last movie in 40 years to depict how awful Indians really were

You'd think there were 10 of me

Probably the best movie Ive seen in the past decade. Bonus, the soundtrack was also amazing.

The west will always be relevant, it defined an early era of the US and it was hard as fuck to settle. It was a huge undertaking. Of course those Americans don't exist anymore but still

I didn't even remember there being an indian part so I looked it up to remind myself and remembered it's just a gay shitty version of Ulzana's Raid or any number of late revisionist westerns.

They show the Indians as nothing more than violent savages. You have a faggot memory

I've just seen more movies than you ever will so I don't immediately recall worse versions of things I've seen tens of times already.

Genre fatigue, they MASSIVELY overdid them from the 1940s to the 1970s and that combined with Cultural Marxism rotting everyone's brains led to a near-complete burn out of the genre by the turn of the century

t. Josey Wales enjoyer

im just retarded so you wouldn't understand

Wow really impressive kek

last good western was woke af

nope

Of course those Americans don't exist anymore but still

Clint Eastwood died?

Is this hailee steinfeld's best performance?

not even close

Eastwood was a movie star not an actor

nope

*blocks your path*

AI voices aren't performances

Open Range was fantastic

Kys

Every piece of media that targets zoomers is so visually fucking repulsive

I love Tim Blake Nelson, but James Franco's vignette was the only one that lives rent free in my head. Buster Scruggs' entire gimmick was done before his first scene was over, and it just kept going. Can't imagine why people clamor for an entire movie of the character. Rango already exists, and that lil nigga has a character arc.

It's up there

i cri everytim

Your zoomer is showing

DOG HOLE

Midkino

What you're implying millennials love him?

Bro the west was settled like 150 years ago, I'm talking about those Americans. We recreated the west in Hollywood 50 years after it had been closed and settled

3:10 to Yuma is almost 20 years old

IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME

Well, I reckon folks just plain up gottem selves saloon fatigue. Seen ‘emselves too many shoot outs at high noon. Why, I remember when a band ‘o no good rotten outlaws was an exciting thing. But when it’s the fifth band this month, you get a little tired of it. Look, here comes a man who don’t say much, with no backstory to speak of. Do you reckon he’ll deal with them outlaws, same as the last eight times? I reckon so, and then, sure as sugar, he’ll ride right of into that there sunset. Must be a lotta glare riding directly at them there sunset, but it’s what they all do. Perhaps I’m missing a trick. Maybe it’s good for your old peepers, helps you shoot straight. Can’t see as how, cos all them gunslinger boys is always squinting up the place. Unsettling I calls it. Any how, for me it was the third time they had the same kerfuffle down at the O.K. Corral. Them McLaury boys just won’t stay dead. Unnatural I calls it.

Eastwood still kicks ass. Don't hate.

I agree, we are past the era of Civil War kinos. It kind of sucks.

i feel like they pulled their punches because the church is litigious as fuck and they didnt want to get slapped with 10 years of defamation and slander lawsuits

kinda the same as how most people dont make really critical films about scientology. army of lawyers with an agenda

Blazing Saddles 2 when?

Part of the problem with civil war setting is it's quite expensive if you want to have more than 5 people in believable costumes, horses, period accurate equipment, etc.

We ain't licked yet

I'm implying zoomers have zero nostalgia from enjoying Kosnerslop as a kid

And they've never seen Mr Brooks

Because Kosnerslop isn't enjoyable and since the have an embarrassment of riches in terms of what they can choose from, they'd never be forced to pretend like dogshit is good because it's the only VHS tape at their grandma's house

One year ago

Westerns peaked in the 1950s, and after that, the people who were best at making them started retiring and dying off, and the torch wasn't passed down. It's become a forgotten art like hand-drawn animation.
Even True Grit had the benefit of being a remake of an already successful 60s western rather than a brand new attempt.

It seems like when they do make westerns now, it's always shot like some kind of art film for a niche audience of cinephiles who like that kind of slow burn period stuff, when westerns used to be more approachable big studio films or cheap exploitation films that had an enjoyable formula to them

Hell or High Water
Old Henry
prob some others

Hell or High Water

Not a western

Genre fatigue, they MASSIVELY overdid them from the 1940s to the 1970s

How the hell is it fatigue if they haven't even been made regularly in generations? People were fatigued before they were even born? When you grew up, there weren't any outside of maybe Wild Wild West and The Quick and the Dead

Gotta add Blackthorn and Forsaken to that list. 2003 had The Missing and Open Range as well.

No, the problem is culture and nuance.

What is your opinion on the marvel cinematic universe?

Waterworld is national treasure and is at the japanese Universal studios park today because it is such kino. Nigger loving zoomers don't have the ability to understand it

the worst flick they made is better than anything slopner has been in in the same timeframe

>last good Western was released 15 years ago

Pic unrelated?

No, we're comparing slop we enjoyed as kids.

The marvel cinematic universe is unwatchable for me and it ruined what would have been good careers, but plenty of zoomers will always look back on it fondly

I'm glad I got to enjoy Dances With Wolves

I find it unlikely you were watching and enjoying Dances With Wolves as an 7 year old or whatever.

Except I was. That was the benefit of grandparents' VHS collection. You'll never know this

most people didnt have grandparents with a big VHS collection and even if they did why are you assuming everyone had that one? also zoomers have just as much access to the movie as you did.

you sound kind of retarded honestly

When did I assume every grandparent had Dances With Wolves? But there was definitely people definitely watched some kino or slopkino that they otherwise wouldn't have because of the limited selection

Zoomers had access to more movies and more slop. Gen alpha has access to even more movies and infinitely more slop. When given the option, most kids will choose the slop.
I'm telling you there is a benefit in having a limited selection

This guy has good taste.

17 years actually

actually, every movie in the released in the west is a western technically. what you mean is a cowboy movie or old west/ern *fixes glasses*

>last good Western was released 15 years ago

Why does it say 2012? The movie came out in 2013 and that scene was in 1997

Not a western

actually, every movie in the released in the west is a western technically.

A Western movie, but not necessarily of the western genre. "Cowboy movie" can be considered a subgenre of a western, and not all westerns are about cowboys

is The Ballad of Buster Scruggs just a Reddit movie to you

Just watched that with the Grandparents the other night. Good shit. The original is great too but I prefer this one.

Seconded for that one. But it seems to be less known than it deserves.

meets every definition thoughever

blonde haired blue eyed white girl

has a black boyfriend

would marry her in a heartbeat

Except the only one there is, which is a movie set in the old west.

but dude, one of the characters wears a cowboy hat!

"A guy wears a cowboy hat" isn't a film genre

but there's dust everywhere!

That also isn't a film genre

A period piece set in the American frontier is a genre (the western genre)

Wasn't there some cowboy movie with the guy who played Batman in the Dark Knight that was good??
l didn't se the whole thing, just watched like the first quarter while drunk then passed out, but it seemed like it was going somewhere and it had a good feel to it.

It's still a western or at the very least neo-western at its core, sorry it doesn't have le cowboy or horsies but it still deals with the same themes of survival, justice, morality (or lack thereof), and the vast, unforgiving, still-wild west

3:10 to Yuma and Hostiles were both pretty good.

sorry it doesn't have le cowboy or horsies but it still deals with the same themes of survival, justice, morality (or lack thereof), and the vast, unforgiving, still-wild west

The beauty of the western is that it's simply a setting, and the films within it are varied. There's no particular theme you can find in every western. There are many comedy westerns that don't give a shit about "survival, justice, morality" they're just funny movies set in the old west. Many westerns are about the US cavalry and their battles with the indians. It's not all gunslinger outlaw movies shot entirely in a desert, though those exist too.

I understand how you're trying to define it, but while it can apply to some westerns in some ways, it is generally incorrect and applies to many movies that nobody would consider westerns. Think of a typical film noir. Are they a bunch of westerns to you? What about samurai films, the most eastern genre imaginable. Are those westerns because they emphasize rugged individualism (which not all westerns do by the way)?

No, you call it a western because there's a guy who wears a cowboy hat, and there's a superficial association you have between that cowboy hat and the old west period when cowboy hats (at least as depicted in westerns) were common, which furthers my point. It's the time and place that defines the genre. If another movie makes reference to that time and place but is otherwise set in modern times, that's only a superficial association, that's not a genre.

I will concede but only because you got dubs. I still consider it a western though.

As a middle ground, I'm not opposed to labeling something a neo-western if it's set in modern times but has clear inspiration from the western genre.
Neo-westerns shouldn't be casually name-dropped in a thread about westerns though, but be their own discussion

film set in the american west

no american in the cast

Cold Mountain (2003)

Good taste. I got the book not long ago, I need to read it soon.

Minghella was a very good director. fantastic score by Gabriel Yared as well.

this

Agreed. Those Battle of the Crater scenes in the beginning were kino too.

Came to post this

Kino hair on Foster.

zoomers

embarrassment of riches in media

lmao

Hostiles was better and more recent.

not that I particularly enjoy it just glad someone still does this

demographics of America rapidly change

American identity becomes undefinable

movies stop being set in periods of American history where a specific cultural legacy and peoplehood is depicted

Just like we don't get colonial kino anymore. A large part of these movies involves national pride and a celebration of our ancestors. To make them now would be a reminder of who America's ancestral people are, and who are not.

Sheridan's last good movie/project he made.

the British woman winds up with the colonial chad

America stays winning.

kevin costner

is this 4 hours long?

look up top western movies lists

this is always top 5

watch it

it's okay I guess.

You'll enjoy it more as you get older

Hostiles

That one scene in the rain was unforgivably gay but other than that I liked it. Soundtrack was nice too.
