Film: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence

A film made by men who would be considered heathen, oversimplified brutes today. Both Ford and Wayne would be in the cancellation queue if the wokescolds were film literate, but thankfully, they are not.

And yet, this film made by ogres in 1962 is vastly more complex on nearly all levels of construction than any film made in 2020.

Not even mentioning the themes, cinematography or steady handed direction, there are two Oscar worthy character actor performances by actors who I didn't even know. Absolute scene stealers (and we're talking scenes with Jimmy Steward, Lee Marvin, and John Wayne).

It's a riddle wrapped in a mystery.
