Talk:Posse (1975)

A post-Watergate Western

This is a cynical western. Made during the mid-seventies when everyone was feeling disillussioned, cynical and apathetic. The Good Guys really aren't, the bad guys aren't great, but they aren't too bad and nobody is worth a damn. Still it isn't too bad and it's actually funny in some parts. --Jcordell 14:27, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Which is why I don't really like a lot of 1970s cinema. Most of it is nihilistic and fatalist. The country was in a really weird mood at that time.  ;) As young adults we didn't have the Internet, Video games (except the arcade towards the END of the 1970s), we couldn't rent VHS or DVDs (when a movie came into the theater, it WENT and that was it, you never saw it again, unless it was heavily edited for television years later). I DO still have my platform shoes though. Pimptastic! ;) MoviePropMaster2008 15:55, 12 October 2010 (UTC) (edit) The GOOD about the 70s that in 99.99% of the country, (HIV didn't exist, you could walk into any gunstore and walk out with anything same day, we used to ride our motorcycles to rifle practice with gun strapped to our backs on the freeway, and no one noticed, you could buy guns from the MALL, MUSCLE CARS! (enough said).... ;)

Bad 70s look

Good heavens, look at the costume Bruce Dern is wearing. Was this supposed to take place in the 1970s? Denim jacket, jeans? And the hair everyone's wearing! Yeesh. Ugly lookin' film. - Blokhed 10/12/10
