The best western ever. Pay close attention on what it says about our society. And how fast we can turn on our so called heros.

Cooper is the MAN

@pris613 Nothing is more important to a person's happiness than his self esteem. Money boosts our self esteem only temporarily. The only real way to have self esteem is to avoid being a creep and try to be a hero at all times. Having good people be glad you are alive is what gives us a sense of real value. Being a blight on society causes us tremendous feelings of worthlessness. NOTHING is worse than feeling worthless. Nothing feels better than being a hero. Cane was no fool. He chose hero.

@1971SuperLead I grew up in the late 50s and 60s and enjoy shows like The Wonder Years. I don't care how old fashioned people might think I can be, I agree with you that honor has great value. I think random acts of kindness are very important as is being kind to strangers. It is amazing how well most people react to a compliment from a stranger. Most just quietly beam, some start to talk and I listen. The world is a tough place and all of us can help our fellow man whenever,however we can.

@pris613 I grew up in the 60's watching The Lone Ranger, Bonanza, Big Valley, Rifleman, etc and learned all about how honor was more valuable than money or material wealth. This lesson seems to be history as the people of today will lie, cheat and steal at the drop of a hat. How terribly sad for them, for I still rather have honor than money. It just feels so much better.

@1971SuperLead I really liked your way of explaining courage and bravery. Honor plays a major role as well in life. Unfortunately society does not hold these concepts in a great deal esteem of esteem anymore. I prefer to see people for their good and loving hearts and not their so called status.

I haven't seen many Cooper films, that's just the way things worked out. I wasn't avoiding them, Cooper reminds me of Harrison Ford in this role. Wasn't 'Rio Bravo' intended as a response to 'High Noon'? Also the edited sequence with Tiomenkin's music that finishes just as this clip is starting has to be one of the most memorable I 've seen.

@RichardElden Think that was the whole point, the hero didn't have to young or youthful.

With Lloyd Bridges' character Deputy Harvey Pell , it was about youthful pride and ego.

With Kane, played by Cooper it was, it was something much deeper!!!!

the "William 'Bill' Munny" character, as played by Clint Eastwwod in "Unforgiven" was similar, Munny wasn't good guy but he showed that experience rather than arrogant youth hold any sway!!!!

@IndioBlack Even if we do have friends, we still stand alone in the end. Sad but true.

Sopranos....

If Gary Cooper isn't careful Ben Miller will sing Purple People Eater at him. Seriously, what a varied career Sheb Wooley had.
