the searchers and Little Big Man really depict Indians in a certain way each film showing different aspects of the Indians. The movie little big man shows Indians in a different light than searchers do. What I mean by this is that while little big man shows Indians in almost as a positive light the searchers indefinitely shows Indians negatively almost in every moment of the film. Both movies as well have brief moments in each where the Indians were either as in little big man, as ruthless savages

Marlowe saying that he was not a gentleman and Marlowe countered with “You’re not the Jeeter of tobacco road are you?” I asked him. --- “wait a minute nothing,” I said.

The Misrepresentation of Native Americans in Video Games It has been a while since a movie depicting wrongful images of Native American has been developed. This would continuously happen about 70 years ago in cookie cutter Western films in which Indians would often be represented as barbaric, savage, and non-human. With time, these films became bland and repetitive; as a result of this, less and less money was profited with every passing Western film made. Propitiously enough we have abandoned

Jim Jarmusch’s Film Deadman, as a Manipulated Western Director Jim Jarmusch’s film Deadman displays many of the accepted conventions for Western genre films, but manipulated in such a way as to create a revisionist, rather than a classical, western.

Blake is an awkward easterner who travels westward unaware of the different rules governing western life

Feminism or Manism? In Paul Theroux’s article “Being a Man,” he discusses the true essence of what it means to “be a man” in today’s world. “I have always disliked being a man.

The people in this town had not been to the city, for it was too far and very different from their simple lifestyle.
