Do non-Americans find the American west as fascinating as we do?

Yeah

no, it's pretty inane

>>75885827

I saw a trailer for this the other day.

Absolutely naf.

>>75885862
the bar owner is a cutie though

well
great basin is like my soul place

not really

>>75885648

Yes, but I'm bias. Grew up watching a lot of Wild West movies on TV.

>>75885827
This game offends me as a white nationalist.

>>75885648
It's an entirely fictional setting with little basis in historical fact (No shootouts, duels, relatively calm, not lawless lands, more puritanical than degenerate by far etc), but yeah sure, I find it interesting.

>>75885648

Also, horseback riding in RDR1 is great. Rockstar nailed the controls well.

another example

>>75885648
yes. in the 70's and 80's they would play westerns on tv. which is the reason why many korean movies reference old western movies

>>75885648
Since that's basically Mexican culture, no.

>>75885939
I'm sure it's all been romanticised to the max but it's interesting to see how lawless and shit (still interestingly shit) those parts of the US/Mexico once were.

There were a few shootouts.

Yes, although we do have a similar thing in Australia with our whole bushranger era

>>75885648
>we do

My family settled the Southwest...it is weird that people have such a retarded culture-boner for us
>>75885995
That's bullshit and stupid as fuck and you know it, but don't let that stop you--Americans laugh their asses off at this major symptom of culture-envy and failed assimilation of Mexican-Americans

>>75885907

Where the fuck did you get that made-up information from?

Lol you could not be more wrong. That's literally a stupid thing to say, and I ain't talking shit.

>>75886239

Well I grew up with spaghetti westerns, german-serb Vinetu and Jack London and O'Henry's books so yeah.

>>75886327
CHI

>>75885648
Yes

>>75886358
You seem confused, that's not how that meme works, anon.

>>75885907
The fuck are you on about?

Shootouts, duels, and lawless bands made up the frontier.

Hell even one of our president's was in a duel

we made westerns before Americans ""invented"" the genre

>>75886642
What? Westerns, as a genre, are just movies that take place in the western frontier of the United States. Why the fuck would Aussie-land invent it?

>>75886664
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_the_Kelly_Gang
it's essentially a western, but in Victoria

>>75886678
If it's not based in the Western U.S. it's not a western you dumbshit

>>75886678
retard

i liked it as a kid, then i grew up

>>75886710
if I made a romantic comedy set in the western frontier would it be a western?

>>75886721
If it shows the aspects of western life, then yes. It's possible for a movie to have multiple genres idiot

>>75886792
and were the aspects of western life exclusive to the western frontier?

>>75885648
Yes, back when Americans were more european and less nigger

>>75887142
hmm

>>75885648
Not fascinating exactly but it's a cool setting where cool characters are easy to develop and place.

>>75886352
It's fucking hilarious how white they are.

Uhh racist much? This woman was an aboriginal woman in Canada.

>>75887269
talking about how good it was is irrelevant, it was the first feature film ever made

>>75887287
>was

What happened?

>>75887338
disappeared or some shit

>>75887303
What? No, it wasn't.

>>75887386
yes it was, how do you not know this
>. The Story of the Kelly Gang (1906, Australia)[1] was the first dramatic feature film released (running at approximately 60 minutes). An earlier The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Fight (1897, U.S.) is considered by some as the first documentary feature film (running time is 100 minutes), however it is more accurately characterized as a sports program as it included the full unedited boxing match. The first feature-length adaptation was Les Misérables (1909, U.S.). Other early feature films include The Inferno (L'Inferno) (1911), Quo Vadis? (1913), Oliver Twist (1912), Richard III (1912), From the Manger to the Cross (1912), and Cleopatra (1912).
