For a moment, I wondered why the movie was given such a title, being specific about the west. Probably because, a coward man is no fit for a gunslinger man- In The West, haha. I didn't like movies in the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000, the camera display was poor and maybe that's the reason I never loved watching movies until 2015. However, there's this movie "A Million Ways To Die In The West" that caught my attention and became the only western movie I can remember. I had to watch it again under a poor camera and a boring atmosphere to remember vividly what had happened.
A timid sheep farmer Albert had broken up with his girlfriend Louise as a result of his refusal to participate in a gunfight. Albert was a cowardly frontier who had no skill in a gun and chicken out at any slight appearance of violence. But that changed when he met Anna, a wife to be to clinch, a notorious gunslinger who robs and kills. The movie portrayed things that happen in our daily life. Everyone started with a feeble heart but in the course of living encountered someone or something they were ready to fight or die for, and in the case of Albert, it was Anna.
Albert and Anna became close friends when Clinch had taken her to an old stump to lie low while he continued his banditry. He had gone into a duel and lost when Anna taught him how to shoot. I like the part where Anna had defeated the man who defeated Albert in the gun fight. I could only wonder what was in Albert's mind at that moment, a man like me would feel shame, I find it embarrassing to see a woman do what I can't do. Anyways, that became the start of his journey into greatness and to realize who he was outside the man he thought he was. I liked the movie probably because it speaks about me. No, I didn't go into a gun fight to protect who I loved, but love had helped me discover what I can be as it did for Albert. Behind his cowardice is a good fighter he never knew.
Clinch learned someone had kissed his soon to be wife and had gone in search of him. Anna became scared for him, she knew who her soon to be husband was, the bad man, a killer, a gunslinger, a bandit, anything you can think of, against a man who was rather weak. But love conquers all things people say and that's what happened. Albert Starks consciously agreed to go into a duel with Clinch to avoid the threat to continue killing more people if he refused. It wasn't the threat, it was the power of love in action as he stepped in to take the challenge. I could see love jubilating in the blue sky as a once cowardly man took up a duel for love. What do you think was the outcome? Love always wins. That was the greatest message passed Love wins in the face of any challenge
