Shane and Heaven's Gate are both set in the Johnson County War in Wyo. In Shane the homesteaders are mostly Anglos; in HG, all Mitteleuropean immigrants. Not particularly sentimentalised, tho; when they arrive their column looks like a giant cockroach moving across the land. <BR/>I'm a bit surprised that few critics of any political position seem to have picked up the astonishing racism of GONY. It's essentially a sentimental glorification of a race riot (the so-called draft riots) in which Irish immigrants carried out a murderous pogrom against Black New Yorkers. In the film the Irish are shown as victims of Anglo prejudice. Maybe most critics don't know anything about the relevant history? A problem that always baffles scientists is "what do arts graduates know?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-8711265318214480412009-01-11T08:43:00.000-08:002009-01-11T08:43:00.000-08:00Here's an idea for fellow balding guys.
