The films was casts in the year 1910 with influential and distinguished united state senator James Stewart and the wife returns to frontier town, where they had met twenty five year earlier for marriage. They are then back for an impoverished funeral or nobody’s funeral. That is the funeral of John Wayne. As the reporter inquires why, the film is taken to a long time flash back. Stewart recalls that when he was serving as lawyer a notorious gunman liberty valance had chased him. According to Stewart, this gunman worked for the then powerful cartel which he had territorial clutches. More often, “pilgrim” Stoddard had saved him by highly feared but influential decent Doniphon.

However, when all calmed, Stoddard was still standing while Liberty Valance had died. As a reward of having killed Liberty, Stoddard was rewarded with a political position with the hope that we would sweep away all forms of corruption. Before all he could be rewarded with this position, the truth came out that he was not the one who killed Liberty valance but Doniphon. Stoddard wanted to real to the world the truth herein but Doniphon asked not to.

Moreover, Stoddard was viewed as someone whose political career would bring extensive reforms in the United States. At the end of the story, Stoddard asked a reporter if he wanted to report the truth who responded by shredding his notes. The as well dismissed a cowboy opus during the release of the news.

White Heat
In the year 1949, James Cagney had returned to the genre of the thriller gangster that he had possessed in the year 1930s. However, instead of rehashing the old idea, he created a new idea or type of gangster revolution spin that had its own genre. He wanted to rubbish the god-bad person relationships that had been disadvantaged by the society and treated all scenarios as a psychopathy. As a result, Cody Jarrett who drives white heat of Raoul Walsh disturbed the gang leader. Cagney’s performance not only defines White Heat but also it gives literal explosive consummation of the tradition of the Warners gangsters. Collected together with Walsh’s headlong directing, this movie ranks one of the best gangster epics. The movie is considered viciously cruel and its influence upon emotion is unstable or its impressions cannot be easily predicted.
The movie is a cry cap with climatic gunshots betwixt Cody and the T-men army. This army can be seen as being top of the gangsters. Famous fireball and a natural gas refinery explosion that leads to Cody spontaneous combustion with all the volatile fluids beneath him further depict the violence in the movie. At this particular time, Cody was purely not corked. It is not clear whether he was eliminating witnesses of gangster’s robbery in the open scene or only interested in taking cool pride. Cody is cold blooded and efficiently forced in out of nature as a forest fire. Even the government men who had sophisticated technologies could not stop Cody but the great human element leads to his downfall. Cody risks the life of Vic Pardo, his trusted friendship with whom they met in prison. Pardo infiltrates gangs by pretending to be criminals. When the two friends catch on with each other, Pardo betrays Cody who almost weeps. This is pathos-staggering moment that affiliates the movie maker to three guaranteeing dimensions that makes him remember Cody even after the end of the movie.
Ma is portrayed as the woman responsible of making Cody more than a homicidal thug. Even though chilling mother love is revealed, Cody’s mom is an amoral killer. Cody, at his middle age sits on her mom laps for comfort before he is crippled with strong headache. At this point, this movie portrays women as caring and loving than the prior movie where Leo’s wife only showed partial love. Moreover, she was ready walking out of Leo’s life despite his situation. More love is revealed when Cody snaps on the news that Ma is dead.
Stagecoach
In late 1920s and mid-1940s, the United States of America experienced a major social and economic changes. The close range of adverse events like the World War II and great depression greatly affected the American economy that resulted to a paradigm shift in the United States’ economic concepts and policies. Moreover, the economic distress leads to major upheaval and social changes. All these combined with Europe and Oriental intensifying situations, American isolation increased and it became xenophobic. The sentiments of the United States became battered and its confidence with other nations became illusory. It became the turn of Hollywood pick America up, it managed to pick it up and successfully glued it together through a film. Temple stole the heart of the American population has he brought optimism. This movie, therefore, ventured in the western genre including the 1993 stagecoach of John ford.
They stage coach incorporated many western genre and traditional conventions, nonetheless, it as well differed with some of these concepts. The use of subversive codes during this period represented the Depression Era. However, some of the western convention generics had been kept to boost the morale of the American people. In the movie, some seven people board the stagecoach, and they are running away from their earlier atrocities. These people are all headed to New Mexico. Putting all these strangers in their different parts of the stage depicts the stagecoach as another micro era.
Placing Ringo, the central protagonist as an outcast, without any possess but half ranch house defines the convention of the western genre as that which is wealthy and protagonists. Ringo is viewed as the environmental product of westerners’ central desire. However, a hero, Ringo is portrayed as a poor and a forgotten commoner of his era. Therefore, it can be then said that real heroes are those that are in position of making ends meet.
This film well depicts typical western genres of its own stereotypical time as well as a morality tale. Its ambition is to make ambitious steps that are aimed at elevating person above their mold. However, it as well succeeded in undermining some of the conventions or traditional genres. The event of the 1930s, were the influencing power behind the stagecoach. The decisions made during this time were influential.
