three months ago with long dream journey in the desert where the Indians a band of outlaws, a sheriff responsible for my own faults or strike arrows in my body and it is only through the physical pain scorsesiano ed mo you can get to an acquittal. Other times, I dream that I have to avenge my family to, that I have escape from a present industrial and ephemeral, making nonsense of stalking me, I hope that my next woman down from a coach or a boat. It is a fact that less than three months ago I just westerns.
John Ford is probably the creator of the most simple and pure to tragedy, the classic western. How are these myths? Who Shot Liberty Balance? is perhaps one of the most drastic to get behind the racks of the history of a myth, and where that income does not change anything, where that fact confronts us with the paradox of what little matter of reality when the myth has established. Ramson
Stoddard, a young lawyer of this comes to the west and is assaulted by one of the outlaws more intuitively wrong, Liberty Valance, Stoddard is the right Valance civilization and the rule of force and savagery of the border after an uneven match, Stoddard kills Valance and although nobody can believe, are all relatively happy about the death of injustice fitness of brutality and Stoddard makes the mythical hero who has been the end of evil incarnate.
Many years later, a major character dies in Shinbone, Tom Doniphon, a fundamental archetype of the western: the lone hero, pragmatic and individualistic but, however, can sense the good in an absolute manner, of course, this hero will do nothing to make progress - except when a woman in half - but still can understand where the good and its wild and untamed nature never takes it too far from that right, unless the film is The Searchers .
Stoddard - now become a senator and white speaker of progress - returns for his wake, there has l or what really happened . In the duel, Doniphon - hidden in the darkness of an alley - has been the one who actually shot on Valance. Stoddard account of what really happened to a group of journalists who Fordist choose to ignore reality and keep myth.
Three million things to say about it. I will tell.
In fact, in reality, the Fordist construction makes it impossible to know who actually killed Liberty Valance, in mourning, you hear the sound of two shots, one of Stoddard and a Doniphon, what ends up crashing into the body of Liberty Valance ? The easiest option is to say that reality is underdetermined by theory and that either option is valid and that shows Ford is how the story ends up choosing the myth or if you will, as the construction of a myth implies certain construction of the facts, which could or not match the mythical content.
However, there is something that does matter and that relates to the following: What myth is being built? Will Stoddard as a murderer of Liberty Valance? Or that of Stoddard and non-murderer of Liberty Valance? The myth of Stoddard as the non-murderer of Liberty Valance is related by the Doniphon at a very key biography of Stoddard.
After "kill Liberty Valance, Stoddard was elected as representative of the people for a political convention to elect representatives to the state and one of the arguments for choosing it is that the Shot Liberty Valance, and to that convention, one political rival saying: what we will choose a murderer to represent us, to bring progress to the West?. Some of that argument goes to the heart of order and civilization reasonableness Stoddard who gets up and leaves the convention that has become chaotic before you leave, what reaches Doniphon and tells him that in fact it is he who killed with Valance and all that then tells Stoddard. Stoddard, freed from the burden of actually killing Valance but willing to use the leverage of having killed "mythically" to Valance, falls into in the assembly and ... the rest is history.
Thus, there is not a myth created but there are two myths created (murderer Stoddard, Stoddard non-murderer) on the basis of four realities (Stoddard knowing murderer, murderer knowing Doniphon, Stoddard believed that the murderer but being the murderer, Stoddard believed that the murderer and not so).
For this kind of thing, the simplicity of Ford is apparent. Ford is counting what's behind the myth: what's behind the myth? Reality?. No, another myth.
