Stagecoach

I have never been much of a fan of westerns but as far as they go this one wasn't that bad. Stagecoach had some more modern day themes in it then your other westerns. For one, in other westerns the hero would fall in love with the "lady" in the movie and not the whore. The fact that Ringo treated Dallas with such respect was contrary to what society would have liked back when westerns were first starting to be made. With a more conservative attitude previous generations may have frowned upon the whore wining over the hero.
Something that wasn't necessarily from this day in age though, was that throughout the entire movie Ringo was very docile and only tried to escape once. This is coming from todays viewpoint where in every movie the criminal is always trying to escape every chance he gets and is never docile at all. Ringo had the "good old fashioned honor" which is typical for most westerns. The hero has to have some honor in order to be the person we sympathize with them. This goes with many movie genres as well but somewhat more so for westerns because of the classic idea that is a western.
