Other westerns should aspire to be this movie.

I loved this movie. The characters were not overly believable, the pace and plot were not particularly moving, but I love this movie. I only recently caught this flick and after only a few minutes I was drawn in. The score was perfect and the dream-like quality added a dimension somewhat like Paint Your Wagon, but better. I found the characters to be more symbols of the Old West than the sheriff and the outlaw. I thought I got Knockin on Heaven's Door, but i was wrong until I saw it played with Slim Pickens in the background. I'm no movie expert so I can't particularly say why I liked it so much, but I know that I can still see some of the scenes vividly in my mind and hear the soundtrack months after seeing the movie. This movie made me want to make movies.
