The Quick and the Dead

The Quick and the Dead! How the hell did this movie manage to get this much star power!? Sharon Stone, Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Gene Hackman, and Jonothon Gill (Spotted Horse)!? Native actor that arguably has the most suspenseful gun fight in the film! Combine a single elimination tournament with a spoof western, you get one of the best westerns of all time...yeah I went there! This movie was an homage to the western drama while being an exaggeration of all the classic western characters. Cowboy with no name, person who sleeps on dynamite, villian who runs the town out of fear, and the man sworn to never killing again. Among of these was the Native! Can't pay respect to the western genre without a Native. How did this movie do? Overall, it's better than the western genre as a whole but it fell flat at times. Listen as I explore the representation, positive and negative. Enjoy!
