	Western movie
		Westerns are films devoted to telling tales of the American West[?] (see Westward Expansion in History of the United States).
		Western movies, usually filmed on location in desolate corners of Arizona, Utah, Wyoming or Colorado, made the landscape not just a vivid backdrop but essentially a character in the movie.
		In the United States, the western has had an extremely rich history that spans many genres (comedy, drama, tragedy, parody, musical, etc.) The golden age of the western film is epitomised by the work of two directors: John Ford (who often used John Wayne for lead roles) and Howard Hawks.

		Westerns are arts works (films, books, television shows, and paintings right off; see Frederic Remington; we focus on movies) devoted to telling romanticized tales of the American West (see Westward Expansion in History of the United States).
		While the western has been popular throughout the history of movies, as the United States progresses farther away from the period depicted, the western has begun to diminish in importance, though (as of August 2003) it has been revived with the Kevin Costner western Open Range.
		An offshoot of the western genre is the "post-apocalyptic" western, in which a future society, struggling to rebuild after a major catastrophe, is portrayed in a manner very similar to the 19th century frontier.

	DEFINITIONS page of ULTIMATE WESTERNS WEB GUIDE
		The Marxist version holds that Westerns serve a social purpose as an oppressive agent of the upper classes, the Freudians hold that Westerns serve a psychological purpose as agents of wish fulfillment, and the neo-structuralists hold that Westerns serve a purpose to discriminate on the basis of race, gender, and sex.

	Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid at tedstrong.com
		If it is a genre celebrating progress, in Pat Garrett (as, admittedly, in several others Westerns and almost all those by Peckinpah) progress equals the dehumanising take over of an open country, and the end of a way of life, by the ruthless forces of big business and civilisation.
		If the Western is fundamentally about a struggle for survival in the face of a hostile wilderness and its forces, Pat Garrett is about people just waiting around to die.
		If violence is the key element around which the Western revolves, in Pat Garrett it is shown to be a pointless, inconclusive (with the notable exception of the Kid's death), comparatively unspectacular act carried out almost from a force of habit.

		Certainly this genre of films is particularly notable because so many of its examples are so overtly anti-authoritarian, and that as a whole it is so unmistakably politicized.
		Together with the figures of the bushrangers themselves, they suggest a single image refracted in different ways, a phantom beast that can be known only by a discrete trunk and ear, leg, skin and tail.

	Film History Before 1920
		It became a studio/ranch that specialized in westerns when, in 1912, his Bison Company production studios purchased the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch and the Wild West Show to use their props and performers for his assembly-line, mass-produced films, and was renamed Bison 101 Company.
		Thomas Ince decentralized and economized the process of movie production by enabling more than one film to be made at a time (on a standardized assembly-line) to meet the increased demand from theaters, but his approach led to the studio's decline due to his formulaic, unfresh, mechanized, and systematized approach to production.
		One of the other most influential figures in film at this time, famous for a brand of physical comedy called slapstick, was Canadian vaudevillian Mack Sennett, originally a writer, director, and apprentice actor for D. Griffith at Biograph in New Jersey.
