- Title
CAPTIVE SUBJECTS: POINT OF VIEW AND INITIATION IN HOMBRE.
- Authors
WANAT, MATT
- Abstract
This essay illustrates the reciprocal insights among existing theories of film spectatorship, critical attention to cultural context and coming-of-age plots in the Western. It explores Martin Ritt's film "Hombre," a particularly rich example of the possibilities and contradictions of sociopolitical revisionism in the Western. The film is analyzed in some narrative and ideological detail rather than surveying the countless examples of initiation in the genre.
