Film noir / western overlaps
RRW – Mike heads west in search of a new job and a new life – core elements of the western genre
The same reason why European settlers headed to America in the first place and why they headed westwards across America
If RRW was a pure western – Mike makes his fortune and Red Rd Rock and marries and has children – hel[ping to build a community
But – it’s a film noir – so he does not find happiness instead he is doomed to drift on somewhere else with his life out of his control
The Usual Suspects – a group of criminals from the east coast down on their luck head west to try to make their fortune…
