Whoa, that's eerie. Same here: True Grit -> Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid -> Man Called Horse -> Little Big Man. Those films are encoded in my DNA. And McCabe & Mrs Miller years later. Late 60's/early 70's Hollywood was telling us it was OK to not believe in Manifest Destiny. Thank you for that Leonard Cohen back story. Didn't know that!
A great movie requires great music. I think it is a sign of cultural decline that we can't make great western movies anymore. Surely there is an audience patiently waiting? Changing the subject, I went on three family vacations in the late 60s/early 70s. We stayed with friends in a cabin on Grand Mesa. It was like traveling to another world. I remember picking bing cherries in a small orchard on our way to the mesa. Many years later my O&G travels took me to Grand Junction & Rangely. Back to your post, Leonard Cohen RULZ!
Those early travels get seared into your brain. Not sure if I have been to Grand Mesa, though. My grandmother and Uncle lived in Albuquerque, and we visited during the winter breaks in the mid-1970s. He took us to Acoma Pueblo, which was incredible. My Name is Nobody, with Terrance Hill, was filmed there.
