Bernhardt, Mark
- Abstract
The article analyzes the films "A History of Violence" and "Dead Man." Particular focus is given on the representation of relocation to the West, which has been one of the many important mass migrations that shaped the U.S. It also explores the contrasting views of how the West could transform the lives of those who journeyed in the country based on antithetical historical conceptions in American culture.
