Lesson 21-2 William S. Hart and the early 'Western'film
And although noperiod or place in American history has been more absurdly romanticized, mythand reality did join hands in at least one arena, the conflict between theindividual and encroaching civilization.
Men accustomed tostruggling for survival against the elements and Indians were bewildered bypoliticians, bankers and businessmen, and unhorsed by fences, laws and alientaboos. Hart's good-bad man was always an outsider, always one of thedisinherited, and if he found it necessary to shoot a sheriff or rob a bankalong the way, his early audiences found it easy to understand and forgive,especially when it was Hart who, in the end, overcame the attacking Indians.
Audiences in thesecond decade of the twentieth century found it pleasant to escape to a timewhen life, though hard, was relatively simple. We still do; living in a worldin which undeclared aggression, war, hypocrisy, chicanery, anarchy andimpending immolation are part of our daily lives, we all want a code to liveby.
