It's ironic that Appaloosa's thematic focus on a decling set of heroes, with Harris and Mortsen's characters, juxtaposed with a dissatisfied love interest, in Zellweger, have parallels to the now typical audience response to westerns. People can be darn fickle about their movies, even here on MUBI. Appaloosa respects a dying breed of film making at it's finest. Irrespective of what's been said, I like this picture.
