Stagecoach by John Ford is a western movie and it is not that different in others but for one sence where the shot off is happening. Most western movies have it in the day light but Stagecoach had the shot off at night where no one can really tell who is really do ing what.

In western movies like all ways have a "respectable" person and a "disrespectable" person. Thats how you can identify a western movie. In stagcoach it has that in the movie. You can even pick it out from sences. The most identfied sence is when the characters are sitting in the dinning room table eating and talking. The respectable characters are: Sheriff, Lucy, Peackok, Hatfield. The disrectable characters are: Hatfield, Dallas, Ringo, Doc. Hatfield fited in both places becauce one moment in the movie he is respectable but the next his not he is disrectable. I likes the movie overall. I found it funny and entertaning in some parts in the movie.

I found it easy to tell that it was a western, especially by the whole cowboy and Indian theme. I felt like the portrayal of the Indians wasn't just thought. It seemed like they were some generic symbol of savages. I did like though, that Dallas and Ringo became acceptable in society. I think that is one big point of the movie.
