 is film series will examine the Western from its classical form to its con
 temporary style. The Western began with films that starred John Wayne as t
 he cowboy with the law on his side. This is the classic Western that many 
 of us grew up with. Settlement was good. Indians were bad. There were clea
 r lines between right and wrong. In the 1970’s films changed and so did in
 terpretations of the Western genre. Filmmakers like Sam Peckinpah and Robe
 rt Altman made films that re-interpreted the Western. They told stories ab
 out exploitation by corporations and about different themes such as greed 
 and treachery. In contemporary times Westerns have used various viewpoints
  to tell different stories that are not in the classic vein. Filmmakers li
 ke Clint Eastwood have raised questions about who was on the side of the r
 ighteous\; the Law or the Outlaw? Westerns have evolved to tell stories fr
 om different points of view. Furthermore\, Westerns still deal with myth a
 nd reality. Many films are based on myths and arguments about what really 
 happened.\n\nSeptember 10: The Searchers (1956)\n\nDirected by John Ford\n
