Good movie BTW, everyone should watch it,

Correct.

Western like anything with John Wayne in it.

There's a movie I would suggest watching called In Harm's Way. Admittedly it's a WWII movie and not a Western, but it's...without wishing to spoil let's just say it's the most nuanced John Wayne film I'm aware of.

Thanks for the movie rec! I added it to my queue. There is a lot of overlap between WWII movies at the time and Westerns so if nothing else I will enjoy making comparisons. If you could sum up your takeaway in one sentiment, what would it be?
