SHANE

My 2nd favourite western, just behind The Searchers.

I believe that Shane is dead by the time he rides over the rise at the end, hence his slumping in the saddle; which puts a different slant on your interpretation of '...the gunslinger forever..'.

My interpretation is that the film is an extension of the 'bravery & grit of the farmer' theme, as also verbalised by Charles Bronson in The Magnificent Seven - allied to the empty life of the gunfighter.

Whatever way you choose to interpret it this is a great film.
