#38: A Tribute Hidden in Plain Sight
This film ingeniously mocks and honors Hollywood’s Western genre, yet surprisingly omits overt nods to the iconic 1952 ‘High Noon’. An unexpected choice for such a pivotal piece in Western cinema history.
However, the homage is there, subtly interwoven. Keen observers may spot it—a ballad echoing through the scenes, its melody and spirit a clear nod to ‘High Noon’s’ unforgettable theme, ‘Do Not Forsake Me’. Did it catch your ear?
