this list we’re taking a look at films
with themes characters and storylines
that parallel rockstars hate Western
game number 10 there will be blood this
modern masterpiece from Paul Thomas
Anderson is one of the few films on our
list that doesn’t necessarily classify
as a conventional Western it’s American
frontier setting complex characters and
cool blooded tone are perfectly in sync
with a Red Dead Redemption however
strangely enough there will be blood
begins in 1898 one year prior to the
events of Red Dead Redemption 2 and
continues into 1911 the same year John
Marston adventure took place the
original game even paid homage to this
2007 film naming an oil drilling camp
after Daniel Plainview a role that
brought actor Daniel day-lewis and
Academy Award we wonder how a boss fight
against Plainview would play out number
9 The Searchers virtually every modern
Western has drawn inspiration from The
Searchers and the Red Dead Redemption
games are no exception during the genres
early days heroes and villains were
often synonymous with white and black
hats respectively
the symbolism started to fade out his
characters grew more three-dimensional
though and few Western icons have more
depth than Ethan Edwards played by the
legendary John Wayne even as the hero of
this John Ford classic although he
doesn’t always come off as very heroic
he’s a vengeful bigot with hostile
tendencies but is also dedicated to his
kin like John Marston or Arthur Morgan
Ethan’s flawed nature is exactly what
makes him such an intriguing protagonist
number 8 the Treasure of the Sierra
it’s pretty hundred just as money plays
a key component in Red Dead Redemption
to a lust for riches acts as a driving
force in this brilliantly written neo
Western Humphrey Bogart and Tim Holtz
stars Dobson curtain respectively to
down-on-their-luck drifters who join an
old prospector on a gold expedition
friends become enemies as greed turns
into paranoia sending Dobbs down a dark
path an exceptional ensemble piece with
an oscar-winning performance from Walter
Huston the Treasure of the Sierra Madre
is one of the first u.s. films to be
shot outside of the country like the Red
Dead Redemption games the rich Western
setting adds another layer of atmosphere
to the narrative Wayne got novartis we
don’t need no budges number 7 tombstone
if you enjoyed the dynamics between
Arthur Morgan and his fellow gang
members then tombstones should be right
this rousing Western assembles one of
the finest cast the genre has to offer
with Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp Sam
Elliott as Virgil Earp and Val Kilmer in
arguably his best performance as Doc
Holliday while the film’s portrayals of
these real-life figures can feel
romanticized the camaraderie this year
never feels anything less than genuine
Oh make no mistake it’s not revenge he’s
it’s a reckoning the shootouts may draw
us in but it’s the endearing characters
that keep us coming back to tombstone by
the way have you ever noticed the
resemblance between Dutch van der Linde
and curly bill Brocius well by number
six True Grit although nothing can
diminish the original film status as a
classic the Coen brothers take on
Charles Portis novel improved upon its
predecessor with stronger character
development and more visual flair not to
mention an all-around grittier tone just
when you thought the Western was dead
2010’s True Grit reminded audiences just
how gripping the genre could be turning
in a film that was cool enough for
modern audiences while still being
timeless enough for older viewers
interestingly enough both True Grit and
red dead came out the same year meaning
that while one was breathing new life
into the Western on the silver screen
the other one was achieving the same on
some bully shut that was 400 yards at
least number five Unforgiven Unforgiven
stands out is the only film on our list
to win the Best Picture Oscar which is
reason enough to check it out hell of a
thing to killing a man take away all
he’s got for Red Dead fans in particular
the film’s protagonist draws many
parallels to the likes of John Marston
and Arthur Morgan Clint Eastwood directs
himself as William Munny a retired
outlaw who wishes to leave his life of
crime behind and raise his children in
peace he’s persuaded to come out of
retirement for one last job pitting him
against a sadistic lawman played by Gene
Hackman with strong themes of revenge
and redemption Unforgiven was Eastwood’s
final Western and he couldn’t have gone
out on a higher note that’s right I’ve
killed one of my children kill just
about everything that walks a crawl at
one time another number for Django the
DEA’s son you’ve undoubtedly heard of
Django Unchained but only the most
dedicated cinephiles are aware that
Quentin Tarantino’s 2012 film was
inspired by this spaghetti western
Franco Nero is the epitome of badass as
Django a wandering gunslinger who winds
up in the middle of a conflict between
Red Shirts and revolutionaries while it
was released in 1966 Django is brutal
even by contemporary standards although
the graphic imagery initially garnered
criticism today the film is celebrated
Django himself is among the genres most
fascinating characters possessing a
Deathwish so strong that he drags a
coffin everywhere speaking of which
roxtor give a nod to this image in Red
Dead Revolver number three the great
silence Django isn’t Sergio Corbucci
only spaghetti western that inspired
Tarantino the great silence was one of
the primary influence is behind hateful
eat well I guess that makes this one
fortuitous wagon likewise you can
definitely see how this films cold
unforgiving landscape might have had an
impact on certain portions of the Red
Dead Redemption games the film’s
protagonist who’s nicknamed silence
prefers to let his gun do all the
talking I’ve been waiting a long time
for an amusing day like this while he
didn’t speak as much as Arthur Morgan or
John Marston all three share his stoic
morally conflicted nature in common much
like a video game the great silence has
several alternate endings shot at the
request of the producers although these
were ultimately ditched in favor of
Corbeau cheese original
[Music]
number two the man with no name trilogy
when people think of the spaghetti
western the first thing that usually
comes to mind is Sergio Leone’s man with
no name series also known as the dollars
perfect number 3 the perfect numbers
yeah I got six more bullets in my gun
with each film centering on Clint
Eastwood’s nameless cowboy the western
genre wouldn’t be what it is today
without a fistful of dollars for a few
dollars more and the good the bad and
the ugly from the mysterious protagonist
to the uncompromising violence to the
beautifully shot Western landscapes this
franchises fingerprints are all over the
world of Red Dead Redemption it’s only
fitting that Rockstar paid tribute at a
graveyard where a tombstone dedicated to
a cowboy with no name can be found
[Music]
before we unveil our topic here are a
that’s what people know about themselves
inside that makes them afraid used to be
could no one sneak up on Jesse James
now you think otherwise I never seen you
out your guns neither number one the
Wild Bunch Red Dead Redemption too is
essentially the video game equivalent of
this epic Western which strikes the
ideal balance of throwing action and
poignant character moments we’re gonna
stick together just like it used to be
when you side with a man you stay with
him and if you can’t do that you’re like
some animal you’re finished we’re
finished
both tales open with a robbery that
doesn’t entirely go according to plan
forcing a gang of Outlaws to go on the
run with bounty hunters and lawmen hot
on their trails in addition to featuring
the same hard-hitting violence the use
of slow-motion techniques demonstrated
in the Wild Bunch is reminiscent of the
Deadeye mechanic
that’s become a staple of the Red Dead
games above all else both succeed in
making the audience sympathize with
anti-heroes leaving us wanting to see
them find freedom and redemption what
are you plans drift around down here try
to stay out of jail
mm me and the boys here we got some work
to do you want to come along do you
