Last night I was watching the 1943 movie The Ox-Bow Incident which stars Henry Fonda as a cowboy who arrives in a small town where a rumour is going around about a rancher who was murdered by cattle rustlers. A posse is formed by the townsfolk to find the killers, but the newly arrived cowboy soon realises that they aren’t out to bring the suspects in but just out to lynch whoever they come across. It was a really good movie attacking mob rule and vigilanteism. It’s more of a moral drama than a conventional Western action movie.
I was in work all day today. I have decided to focus more on my creativity now (my writing, my drawing and so on) I think that will really help me.

Hello
I do like cowboy movies. I always wanted to live on a ranch, when I was wee. I haven’t seen that particular movie, but I like the ones starring Audie Murphy best – although John Wayne made a couple of good ones.
Good for you on focusing on creativity more. It’ll be a break from work, especially psychologically.

I like cowboy movies too! I’ve not seen any of the Audie Murphy ones, but I have seen a lot of the John Wayne movies.
Thank you!
