Those of us who remember World War Two tend to want heroes or heroines we care about. Younger people are content to watch characters mistreat one another, and that is their entertainment. In "Deadwood" there is no one to care about; everyone abuses everyone else, in the most sinister fashion. For younger people, the material is proof that the world is a rotten place. Older people already know that, and prefer stories that offer hope of joy or success. <BR/><BR/>Richard WheelerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11838465.post-41262877343863048132007-03-31T23:54:00.000-06:002007-03-31T23:54:00.000-06:00You know Mary, it's a rare blog indeed that engage...You know Mary, it's a rare blog indeed that engages me and makes me think.<BR/><BR/>Yours is a blog that I can't "surf," and I mean that as a compliment.<BR/><BR/>Now as far as Deadwood being the "sophisticate's western," I tend to think of it as either "Sex in Dodge City" or "Sixgun Sopranos" - which is to say, not a western at all.Ambulance Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10175419709184526342noreply@blogger.com
