Abstract
In this article, the writer studies the 1993 movie 'Tombstone' that is a film set in the famous Western town that focuses on the story surrounding the gunfight at the O.K. Corral between the Clanton gang and the Earps, along with Doc Holliday.
From the Paper
"It is not clear how historically accurate this version may be, and there are dozens of other versions on film to compare to it as well as numerous documentaries and recreations of the events.

Abstract
In this article, the writer analyzes the classic film "My Darling Clementine". The writer discusses the way in whcih the elements of style are used in the film to elucidate its central themes. The writer looks at the themes of the settlers' civilization of the West, the character of the lone cowboy or fugitive who doesn't fit into the developing social community, and the violent clash between the Clantons and the Earps that exemplify these disparities.
From the Paper
"In the first scene each of the Earp brothers on the cattle drive is introduced by a low-angle medium shot profiled on horseback against the sky. Somehow the short take, the brief isolation of each one, exposes a premonition of mortality, which is heightened by the ominous arrival of Old Man Clanton and his son Ike hunched over on their buckboard, in a medium shot seen from the back. They, their rig, and their horses are dark figures in the gathering dusk of the hills as Wyatt Earp rides up from the daylight plain to speak to them in low-angled closeup."

From the Paper
