Too Tough To Die

I am almost completely against the article Too Tough to Die because it puts the down the entire genre of westerns saying that they are old and no one wants to watch them, but with the recent resurgence of new westerns I hope that they change everyone's opinion on them. The article puts down the westerns saying that people don't want to watch them because "you can speed up spaceships and cars, but you can't speed up horses." Which by all means is true because most directors are aiming for they're target audience to just make money and not art but westerns were the one of the first monumental dramas that actually changed they way they were made for the purpose of breaking away from the stereotypical western. I am actually excited for the new rise of westerns, seeing them now it doesn't do them the justice that they had and now deserve as truly amazing films. The I hope that when the western catches on and even more people are implementing the typical and expected western aspects and put new and unexpected twists on them will change everyone's opinion on the western from now until it slowly fades out again only to rise anew another time in the future.
