Reinventing the Western

Some characteristics of Western film are cowboys, shooting between the protagonists and the antagonist, a lot of duel between people. Also some other characteristics of Western are film in the country and maybe in the 1979. The difference between The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and The Man who Shot Liberty Valance is that in the movie The Man who shot Liberty Valance didn't show who shot the other guy until the end when they have the flashback to what actually happens. While in the other movie, they face each other head on and settle their dispute and their revenge on each other.
