  Convergence of Border Cultures in John Sayles' "Lone Star"
Director John Sayles, though he is painting on a broad canvas, gives vitality to this theme by treating his characters — even the minor ones — as individuals rather than representatives of a particular group.
Lone Star is effective because its screenplay achieves the near-impossible: It introduces us to people who speak mostly in symbolism and metaphor, yet are somehow still wholly believable as human beings.
Lone Star, that film is a tale of different races chained together who must eventually come to terms with their differences.

 Style: Forget the Alamo: reading the ethics of style in John Sayles's 'Lone Star.'.(Style in Cinema)
In Lone Star, Sayles skillfully exploits the incest taboo as the vehicle for his analysis of the interconnected ethnic threads that constitute contemporary American life and the often uneasy relationships that continue to exist between the races.
Sayles's use of summary prods the viewer toward an understanding that history is personal, political, and, perhaps most important, contextual; his decision to use the generic conventions of the murder mystery, moreover, supports the idea that the truth of the past is always shifting in relation to the vantage point of the observer.
In Lone Star, we journey through ellipsis into summary so not only that the story the silence of historical memory seeks to avoid may be heard, but, as Lone Star's conclusion reveals, that all stories inevitably impinge upon one another.

 The Lone Ranger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The Lone Ranger was NOT played by Clayton Moore, who had done most of the episodes and was the one who had to wear those Sun Sensor Lenses That Change in place of the mask.
Imagine the impact of seeing The Lone Ranger in colour for the first time here in the UK in the early 70s and realizing that the Lone Ranger wore powder blue body-hugging leggings and that Tonto was a glorious bronze *sigh* my first hearthrob.
One problem with his performance as The Lone Ranger is that he seemed to have trouble keeping a straight face; Moore flashed a smile a lot, but it was because he was being friendly.

 Review: Lone Star   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
While Lone Star is not the director's finest work (City of Hope is), it's still a very good film with enough material to stimulate energetic post-movie discussion.
Lone Star opens in the present time frame, and most of the narrative takes place there, with the exception of several, seamlessly-interwoven flashbacks to 1957 and 1973.
Lone Star is most intimately concerned with how different cultures and generations mix, match, and interact in a place where anglos have the wealth and power although 19 out of every 20 people are Mexican by birth.

John Lone plays the ninja, Kinjo, and Yoshio Harada plays the modern-day samurai, Takeda, who has pledged his life to killing Lone.
