The Shepherd of The Hills

Watching this movie I noticed the sentimental cues that go along with the movies overall message. Climaxing towards the ending John Wayne gets shot by Harry Carry. Carry tells Johns supposed lover he had good intent to shoot him. After John gets treated on by a doctor, he wakes up and reaffirms that notion. He does this by providing a lesson learned speech to Carry and his lover Betty Field. My report for our class is about types or at least refers to some throughout what will become of it. What stood out to me or what I've picked up on is the symbolism of stances and highlighted gestures. One scene in particular is Harry Carry going to the house he bought and having a moment with the rocking chair. His enthusiasm with Betty earlier in the movie is shown about her liveliness as well as her vivid enthusiasm and expressions of lust for life. Seemingly she's that kind of person which many would define superstitious types to be and he's as said. James Barton portrays a mentally altered person who's attached to his thoughts. The actors especially John Wayne plays with this noticeably. The actors have characteristics that are from very robust to being nonchalant. I don't recall movies having such discrepancies with much tuned.
