You Trumpanzees throw around "dictator" without understanding what one is. If Biden IS one, Trump would have been stood up against a wall and shot. John Wayne was 52 in 1959...not exactly in his prime, but far from "old" and still a handsome man. And the Mexican guy, though comic relief, does briefly participate in the final gunfight. Widmark didn't want to be in the movie and Wayne rubbed him the wrong way, end of story. The OP was joking. BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, THE GODFATHER II, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, and ALIENS would beg to differ. However, if anyone had to go and make a sequel to PSYCHO at all, it's the best anyone could have done. I did, and thought it was the best possible sequel to the original PSYCHO if anyone had to go and make one at all. Not while BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN exists...however, this IS a worthy sequel to PSYCHO, with Perkins as good or even better than in the original film. GODZILLA VS KONG got there first. However, Tom Cruise made a genuinely good movie. Grimes still flunks the basic test of manhood for the 19th century: He doesn't finish what he started when he leaves the cattle drive to try and play gunfighter...something he doesn't have the ability or willingness to kill to do successfully, which isn't a bad thing. Staying with the cattle drive would have been finishing what he started. He shows moral courage in making the homesteaders bury the dead gunfighters who died for them but he's ineffective as a gunfighter because he's just a scared kid playing around with something very deadly. The final crawl states they were found weeks later. As for it's authenticity: It's most certainly poor history but very good storytelling on a low budget. Well, Guadalcanal is depicted as practically Paradise until the horrors of war spoil the place...Americans and Japanese alike were poleaxed by tropical illnesses, with the Japanese getting the worst of it due to poor medical supplies and logistics. A Japanese patrol is practically begging Pvt. Witt to surrender towards the end of the movie...the Japanese were in retreat by that time and could hardly take care of themselves let alone prisoners (if they even wanted to bother taking any). The attack on the village is useful for showing that Americans could behave just as barbarously as the Japanese, but the Japanese extras mostly do stuff in that scene that their grandfathers were taught was disgraceful.
