I thought I would comment on the end duel between Everett and Bragg. Unlike most Western films, Everett stands in the old-fashioned dueling stance with his pistol facing the ground, similair to how they dueled before the days of hip holsters and repeating revolvers. I managed to grab this shot where we see clearly how the duel turns out, where Everett fires far faster and deliberately than Bragg, who hits the ground beside Everett a meer quarter of a second later.
Just thought I'd share my appreciation :). This film is excellent with gun realism in ways few films ever capture. It captures the time period perfectly and I recommend this film to anyone who appreciates realism to its fullest extent. - Gunmaster45
I credit Ed Harris with much of this realism.I like Mr. Harris's work going way back to 1983 whne I saw him playing John Glenn in The Right Stuff. Guess I'm dating myself there.
Also Viggo Mortensen is evidently not only a fair shot in the real world but competes (or used to) in Equestrian sports and has a background in sword fencing. My last duty station when I was in the U.S. Army was the 10th Mountain Division which is stationed at Fort Drum in upper state New York. The nearby city is Watertown which is where Mortensen is from. He was evidently an outstanding athlete, artist (painting) and active in the theater club. Quite the Rennaisance Man.And that was just in high school! Makes me feel like a slug.--Jcordell 17:40, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
