In this book, John White explores how films such as Open Range, True Grit and Jane Got a Gun reinforce a conservative myth of America exceptionalism; endorsing the use of extreme force in dealing with enemies and highlighting the importance of defending the homeland. Placing their characters within a dark world of confusion and horror, these films reflect the United States' post-9/11 uncertainties, and the conflict between civilised values and the brutality employed to defend them. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 179-193) and index. 650 0 $a Western films $z United States $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008113452 650 0 $a Violence in motion pictures. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85143526 650 7 $a Violence in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01167293 650 7 $a Western films. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01174006 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211020240.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3CA8F9B21BE411EA82BF083097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
