Hello Movie Lovers!!!
It's another beautiful week on #cinetv. This week's theme is to give a review of your favorite Western Movie.

I personally love Western Movies. The whole cowboy thing, their dressing, and most of all how they "fight like a man", they both meet at sunrise to face each other in a duel to see who the best man is, of course, the other has to die.

One thing I am not okay with when it comes to Western Movies is the way the women's duties are to take care of the home and her man and the easiest job a woman can find is to work in brothels to please men.

The movie I want to share gave a woman that "Badass" vibe and it is titled;

A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST(2014)

This is a 2014 American Western black comedy movie starring my idol
(Charlize Theron), MacFarlane, Amanda Seyfried, Neil Patrick Harris, Giovanni Ribisi, Sarah Silverman, and Liam Neeson.

The film centers on a cowardly frontiersman/farmer who gains courage with the help of a female gunfighter and must use his newfound skills in a confrontation with her villainous outlaw husband.

Albert Stark lost his girlfriend Louise (Amanda Seyfried) to the town's wealthy man named Foy (Neil Patrick Harris). Louise sees Albert as a coward who couldn't "fight like a man" and he fails at everything, even as a farmer who rears sheep, he couldn't be a good shepherd.

Later on, he met Anna Barnes Leatherwood (Charlize Theron) who is a "badass" gunfighter and she taught him how to develop the courage to face his fears.

What I love about the movie is that Albert gave his best to try to learn how to shoot so he could get back his girl. He was constantly humiliated by his girlfriend's lover but he didn't give up even though it was clear as day that he can't win in a duel.

The performance of actor I love most is Anna (Charlize Theron), she is my idol like she can do no wrong in my eyes and I love her movies and as usual, she gave an excellent performance, her skill as a gunfighter in the movie is top-notch and she tried to make Albert win by default when she found out he is going to die if he faces Foy since the former's skill is not well grounded, She convinces Albert to take her to the fair over the weekend to make Louise jealous.
She also went out of her way to dress well when Albert invited her to a barn dance.

Edward ( Giovanni Ribisi) is Albert's friend and his girlfriend Ruth (Sarah Silverman) is a prostitute. Now I don't know what to say about Edward as I find it confusing how a man who knows most men is "shagging" his girlfriend and he is okay with both of them waiting till they get married before having sex as they want to leave the bed "undefiled". Like "Are you kidding me", what else is there to be "undefile " for a woman who works in a brothel?

The funny part is that when asked if he was okay with his girlfriend screwing like 15 different guys every day and getting paid to do it. He responded by saying: Oh, my job sucks too.

Clinch Leatherwood ( Liam Neeson) is Anna's husband, he was a villain and the most feared man in town, when he found out Albert kissed his wife and demands Albert faces him in a duel. I love the logic Albert used in killing him. Albert knew no amount of training would make him good enough to fight Clinch, instead, he used another method to kill Clinch and he was finally recognized as a man since he killed the most feared man in town and a good thing he also listened to Anna when she told him Clinch "always shoots at two".

I love the end part as Albert finally realized that his ex-girlfriend Louise was not worth fighting for and he had already fallen for Anna anyways. He also won the bounty on Clinch and bought as many sheep as possible.

Thank you all for reading.
