Female characters in Hawks

The main female lead in Rio Bravo is a little weird, sometimes I thought she was bi-polar because she kept changing in mood real fast. Tries to get the sheriff by asking a lot of indirect questions. Usually women in this type of movies tend to get the guy to fall in love with them by asking questions, or doing retarded stuff.

The Westerns

I have seen Rango and Wild Wild West.

Some characteristics of Westerns are guns, the cowboys (obviously), the pure girl and the bad girl, the evil mayor, the bad government, and mexicans.

Rashomon vs. Citizen Kane

Comparison and Contrast.

To start with Rashomon is an International film from Japan, and Citizen Kane is an all American made. One thing is the way they tell the story. In Citizen Kane they told the story from different characters in which they described what it was like how to be or share a time they spent with Kane. In the end though it had the same climax he died. In Rashomon it's told from 4 different perspective, but each character manipulated their story to their advantage, in the end you don't know who is lying or not. More important, you don't know what really happened.

The Rashomon effect

What this movies have in common is that their both horror movies. Also they tell a story from different perspectives from the characters, and end up with the same ending. They are different because one is in English, and the other is in Japanese.
