Rio Bravo Reflection:

1) Yes, this movie followed the conventions of a Western. There was the typical sheriff, the cowboy hero, the old town, and the cowboy’s love interest
2) The Call to Adventure is when the man wants to get his brother from jail. They don’t refuse but they do have to defend against the people that he sends after them to break Joe out of jail.

3) Main Characters:
-John T. Chance - Tough sheriff, doesn't back down and has wise remarks
Dude - local drunk who ends up sober, first deputy
Stumpy - crippled man, who stays in the jail but ends up going outside, second deputy
Colorado - young new guy and was part of Wheeler's crew, third deputy
Feathers - temptress to John
Carlos - owner of the local hotel and John's close friend.
Joe - person in jail whose imprisonment means trouble for the whole town.
Burdette - Joe's brother who has a lot of money

4) The beginning of the story was kind of slow paced, but I liked how it allowed for the characters to be introduced. The pace of the movie overall worked for me though.
5) The action sequences were not as fast paced as normal movies, but it fit with the story and they focused a lot on the movements of the characters.

6) The love connection with Feathers that John had drove the story, and created a sub plot that the audience could follow along with the main plot about the jail and the sheriff’s job in the town.
