Western is an endangered genre or is it not? TOP-5 modern paintings in the genre of western, which are worth seeing

Western is a very entertaining genre of cinema, which was most popular in the middle of the 20th century. Directors, who created exemplary paintings in the genre of westerns - Sergio Leone, John Huston, Clint Eastwood and John Ford. But there is also a couple of modern films that can be of interest to the viewer.

The most interesting westerns - the list: "Unforgiven"

Clint Eastwood literally made a career in the cowboy movies. First, he played a number of major roles in the pictures of the legendary Sergio Leone, and then he himself began to shoot similar tapes. "Unforgiven" - one of the last works of the director in the genre western.

Western - a movie in which the action must unfold in the Wild West and accompanied by a mass of gunfights. Eastwood in his painting tells the story that occurred in Wyoming in the late 19th century. Two visiting cowboys went cruelly to one of the local prostitutes. The local sheriff was not able to obtain justice, so the maidens of easy virtue promised a great reward to those who would finish off these scum. As a result, two real hunters opened a real hunt.

The film was released in 1992 and won 4 Oscar awards. The main cast includes Morgan Freeman (Ben Gur), Clint Eastwood ("Baby in a Million"), Gene Hackman ("Crimson Tide") and Richard Harris ("Camelot").

The best westerns - the list: "Dancing with wolves"

Of course, the cowboy movies that were shot in the 90's and later, will not equal the creations of Sergio Leone and other masters of this genre. But in our time you can find a good movie in the genre of western. This proved Kevin Costner, who in 1990 released the film "Dancing with the Wolves" on the screens and received 7 "Oscars" for him in various categories.

"Dancing with wolves" is the story of an American officer, who by fate's will finds himself in the service of a remote fort and is surrounded by Indians. First, John Dunbar can not find a common language with savages. To do this helps a white woman who lives in the Sioux tribe. When Dunbar completely merges into the Indian culture, an unexpected turn takes place in the plot: tribal lands begin to be selected by white armed people, and the protagonist will have to decide on whose side he is.

In this picture, Kevin Costner took the lead. And his partner in the film was Mary McDonnell ("Passion Fish").

"Train to Yuma"

Western is a wonderful way to have a good time in a purely male company. Especially if on the screen will confront each other such serious actors as Christian Bale and Russell Crowe.

According to the story of the militant "Train to Hume", Russell Crowe plays the outrageous bandit Ben Wade, for which prison has been crying for a long time. Finally, the robber was caught, but his hanging was to be held in the neighboring state. To deliver Wade to the train to Yuma, serious security is needed. The detachment is recruited from volunteers who will receive 200 dollars for their work. Among these volunteers is the hero Baila - veteran of the Civil War Dan. Only he does not suspect that the journey to the railway station will turn into a real hell and prove to be dangerous for life.

The painting by James Mangold was nominated for an Oscar in four categories, but did not win a single award. Also the director is known for his screen work "Break the Line" with Reese Witherspoon and "Interrupted Life" with Winona Ryder.

"Bandits"

Not only men are attracted to Westerns. The best films in this genre can be interesting to viewers of all sexes and ages. Especially if the picture includes elements of comedy.

An excellent tape for family viewing is Luc Besson's film Bandits, which is designed in the best traditions of the Wild West. In this tape, less cruelty, more feminine charm and humor, because the main characters are the charming Maria Alvarez and Sarah Sandoval. Two brave girls come into conflict with the brutal American Tyler Jackson, who killed their fathers and mercilessly robbed the local population. They robbed his banks and frustrated all plans of the attacker. To their side, the girls manage to attract not only the peasants, but also the detective from the capital, who originally had to catch the bandit. Ultimately, they defeat their opponent.

The main roles in the comedic Besson thriller went to Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz.

"The lone ranger"

If you list Westerns, the best films of our time should include the picture of "Lonely Ranger" with Johnny Depp in the title role.

On the plot advantages of the tape should not be mentioned - the scenario for an amateur. However, the production of the film was spent 215 million dollars, so it's worth a look at least once. Perhaps, no one in the style of the Wild West can boast of such a budget. He provided the picture with eye-popping special effects, costumes and scenery.

Despite the fact that the "Lone Ranger" was nominated for several Golden Raspberries, he was simultaneously nominated for two Oscar awards. The main roles in the project went to Johnny Depp, Armi Hammer and Helen Bonham Carter.
