Once Upon a Time in the West

This movie is a remix of all westerns in a cynical way.
*Hollywood Western

Shane and High Noon
* Two movies that this one has reference to.
*Story scenes are almost identical of have a similar feeling
*High Noon opening( Gun shooters waiting on the train that slowly arrives)
*Shane's scene with the boy and the gun

Music and Image
*Gives distinctive atmosphere when actor respond well to the music
*Songs that are played when characters enter are like their "theme songs"

Dual(Traditional)
*Westerns usually at opposite ends but eventually walk around and circle each other
