Stage coach

For my discussion I decided to pick the theme of how in Stagecoach the non reputable characters are the ones of end up keeping the whole crew alive. For example how Dallas the common whore ends up caring completely for Lucy's baby cause Lucy is to exhausted to do it herself. Dallas ends up looking like the respectable women and Lucy looks like the lazy up tight prissy. Ford the director was trying to portray the well known saying that "you can't judge a book by its cover" I feel like he did this really well with Dallas and even more with the Ringo Kid. At first the audience is supposed to think that the Kid is a bad guy and as the movie goes on the Kid shows us more and more that he is a guy that has a reason for his broken ways and that he is out to dish the justice that the law won't. Another great example of this is how the Doc is a drunk and is banished from his town but then ends up saving lucy during her birthing! I feel like Ford did this on purpose to show people that the bad thing about people is that they judge others to quickly. thank you and good night!
