Watched on HBO Max. Good movie, with a solid plot, no defects in the narrative, and overall a classical western. It sort of shows how much of scumbags most people back in the old west era were. Nonetheless, there is honor, bravery, and courage also. This mix of lonely cowboys like Josey Wales, mercenaries like the bounty hunters, regular militias of the Union, and Indians make the movie entertaining, but also realistic. I see some nostalgia towards the South also. Maybe because the movie was based on a novel written by a segregationist southerner. I wish more movies like these were made these days for entertaining, for mass consumption.
