Cinema Secrets You Missed in Shane!

Golden Glamour Files

One comment on the film said Shane was the first of its kind, but set the tone followed repeatedly many times that established it as a cliche'. TD


Shane movie review & film summary   
. . . "A story depends on who is telling it. “Shane” is told from the point of view of the town and of the boy, who famously cries “Shane! Shane! Come back!” in the closing scene. If we were to follow Shane from town to town, I suspect we would find ritual reenactments of the pattern he’s trapped in. Notice that after stopping for a drink of water at Joe’s place, he’s all set to leave when Ryker’s men ride up. That’s when he interests himself in another man’s quarrel, introduces himself as “a friend,” displays his six-gun and essentially chooses to get involved in a scenario that’s none of his business and will lead to an ending we suspect he’s seen many times before." . . .
