Rio Bravo Reflection

1. This movie followed the conventions of a western by being placed in an older time setting in southern areas like Texas. It also had typical cowboys and sheriffs also the rich land owners were the bad guys.

2. The call to adventure was when the bad guys started making trouble and killed a man and that is when the sheriff and his friends had to be careful about the trouble makers being in town. There is a slight refusal because the sheriff refused to get any help and slightly doubted whether they could defend themselves against a whole mob of troublemakers.

3. The main characters are John T. Chance and Dude. John T. is very dedicated to his job and is a manly man who refuses to share his feeling with the women. Dude is a former drunk that is always being made fun of for his bad habits but he eventually learns from John T. and transforms as a character. Feathers is the love interest of John T. and she is very forward with her feelings and talks a lot. Stumpy is the silly character in the movie and he adds comedy to the story. They are the stereotypical western Character because one is a manly man and the other is drunk. They have the typical slow old man, Stumpy, and the typical beautiful women, Feathers. Each character has his own personality and great and faulty characteristics.

4. The movie is slow because there are many conversations and dialog that build relationships within the characters. It is a little too slow for me because the conversations can get boring sometimes, but it helped me to relate to the characters and care about them.

5. The action sequence doesn't come in till the end of the movie but I think that it was thrilling and exciting. It was too easy of a win for me but the action was definitely well played and executed. There was little action and more story based which is unique fora western.
