``Have Western movies become extinct?'' is a phrase that has been repeated many times over the years. On the other hand, it is common for this genre that every time people forget about the existence of Western movies, a new era masterpiece is born, as if redefining it.

If you think about it, `` Dances with Wolves '' (1990) and `` Unforgiven '' (1992) were in the spotlight in the first half of the 1990s, but their popularity completely waned in the 2000s.

`` Ford VS Ferrari '' (1919) created a strong human drama while highlighting the presence of the two legendary protagonists. The previous film, `` LOGAN '' (2017), depicts the heroic life of a hero who looks like a gunslinger in the wilderness in search of a place to die. If I were to force myself to say this, I can't help but feel that the essence of these masterpieces, which could be called the prototype, is engraved in 2007's ``3:10 to Yuma.''
