3:10 Yuma

i was blown away by it. anyone else see it? i think it is one of the most layered and symbolic hollywood movie i have seen. it plays like a book, with top notch acting.

maybe i'm just reading into it way too much, but i think it touched on a lot of morality and biblical influence over good and bad. not necessarily what defines a good man but what the bible condones a good man to do if he is wife. a very subtle way of touching on the fallacies of "the good book."

Take that intellectual bullsh*t somewhere else. We don't need it here.

When that wop takes over the country, you better change your tune.

wow. i didnt reead that much into it. i thought it was a good movie but just a western with a different spin. i really thought some of the acting was pretty poor. oh well im still ok with dropping my 7 or 8 bucks to see.

Just watched last night. maybe i wasn't paying attention enough, but...

** Spolier Alert**

at the end, why does he get on the train? i mean, a genius train robber knows where his gang stashed the loot (they obviously had it as evidenced by the townspeople buyout offer). so why can't ben wade just ride off into the sunset and give his family the cash that the pinkertons would have? and for the record i would say the "everyone would know where it was from" argument now a moot point being our protagonist already died.

i think he did it to keep the good things good. i think he viewed Dan as the closest thing to good as he ever encountered and he wanted to keep it that way.

i wrote a crap ton about it on imdb. heres the link
