A wonderful movie. You're spot on about initiation rights, a natural part of life in the Western, where boys are only boys for a short while and better off for it. I'll have to give this another watch soon!
What a surprise to see a review of a movie I was obsessed with as a child and will still watch at the drop of an Australian cowboy hat! The crack riders in action scenes are some of the best in film. The vertical drop still makes my heart flutter.
Same Rachel, this was a staple of my childhood. I was pleasantly surprised how well, and enjoyable it holds up. That vertical drop still hits just as hard as ever!
I heard the poem recited at the Cowboy Gathering in Elko, Nv. a few years back. It was in the main auditorium and the crowd was silent as the poet didn't miss a word. It was terrific!
