High Plains Drifter























This is the real rough and uncouth side of a drifter. Somewhere the plot has traces of Seven Samurai, but with a twist in the tale. The characters are very memorable, very well developed, and sometimes very typical too.

I like the part where Mordecai is made the Sheriff, it vaguely reminded me of the Bottom from Midsummer Night’s dream. I know revenge is not all that a great virtue at all, but still somewhere down below it gives some pleasure to see the revenge on screen. Kill Bill, Inglorious Basterds, Boondock Saints well, some of the secret pleasure in watching revenge on screen…
