I am no expert on Western Movies/Film.
Don’t pretend to be.
Just a fan.
Feel free to disagree with anything – and everything – I say.
“Obey the voice within – it commands us to give of ourselves and help others.
As long as we have the capacity to give, we are alive.”

Lonely Are The Brave is such a fine movie
An important Film.
He was Lonely. And he WAS Brave.
That movie really knocked me off my feet. And I really wonder if most people got what he was saying?
And what he showed he had been willing to pay for in saying it?
Wet eyed ending for sure.
