article reflection

This article has a lot of interesting things to say about westerms. It talks about how the western was struggling for a period of time and almost died out. It is certainly less popular today than it was back in the mid-90s, but films like 3:10 to Yuma have kept it alive. The western has also changed alot from when it was originally popular. In attempts to acheive a greater audience westerns now will contain more modern ideas like the issue of Iraq. The appeal to most people is that westerns are very natural, what you see on the screan was really acted out and there is not much fancy technology to alter the film. Westerns are making a comback and don't plan on dying out any time soon.
