I thought Stage Coach was a great movie for the time because the action scences were amazing. The scenes with the Indians attacking were really cool and they had me wondering what they were going to do. The scene where the Indians on horses attcked the stage coach was well-done and took very big risks to make it great. The part in the scene when the one of the indians fell under the moving stage coach seemed very real because the whole time you could tell it was an actual person getting hurt. This movie risked people's lives in order to make it better.
Stage Coach was fun to watch because of the way it portrayed different types of people. Movies these days stay away from this because of political correctness. The Indians were portrayed as ruthless savages. The prostitute was shunned by most of the people and Miss Mallory wouldn't even talk to her. The movie didn't put the viewer in the shoes of the Indians and they were killed like cattle with no remorse. This movie was great overall because of its simpleness and of well-executed action scences.

I also liked the action scenes in Stagecoach, as I thought they were technical for a movie back in the late 30's - early 40's. I also like how the movie was executed on clean, as the stunts were tried as a do-or-die try. Great post.
