Western film conventions

The film 'the good, the bad and the ugly' has western film conventions due to the setting of a isolated and deserted waste land, made up of mountains and rocks, western films portrays the conquest of the the wilderness. the use of the costume such as: cowboy boot and hats, ponchos also fits the western conventions. props used such as guns and the scene of a shot out is also a huge ideology for a western film, due to the fact the game was created there. the film also includes conatations of a western film by the use of the close ups of the guns and the extreme close ups of the mens faces, this has became a convention of the western genre as people expect it. the non diegetic sound of the music is also conventional as it is western music. The fact men are over represented in western films as they only include men, usually, showing a fake ideology as there is more women then men in the world. the character roles of the text show men stereotypically being aggressive and unemotional. the scene includes the protagonist (Clint Eastwood) and the supposed villian, in which he shoots,  which links to the title the good, the bad and the ugly. however this links to Props theory of there being conventional characters. the mexican race is represented as both evil and weak as there is two mexican characters, one of the characters is shot (which is the villian). however the other character who is mexican is portrayed weak as the close ups show him sweating and shaking nervously during the shoot out scene. the text portrays American's as heroes, as the only American character is the one who wins the shoot out. this is also conventional as it is a constructed aspect that in most action films the American wins. the text also includes ideologies that men are the ones that are cowboys, where as women can be as well. it carries the idea that men do shoot outs and use guns due to the fact there are no women I the text.
