So, the page has the deconstruction tag put on it, but I can't help but think it's ultimately more of a reconstruction instead. The tag about it shading in the characters in morality more than studio era era westerns is true, and the violence is surely amped up beyond them, but at the end of the day there is still a pretty fine distinction shown between the heroes and villains (the latter of which is even given a clear identifying marker in their wardrobe, with the red sashes instead of the good old fashioned "black hats") as well as a fairly upbeat ending that celebrates Wyatt Earp and happily declares the downfall of the Cowboys. Anybody want to discuss whether they agree or disagree with this suggested change?
