My favorite Gary Cooper film is High Noon. And the core message of that film is being played out in the world today as explained by Victor Davis Hanson in The Disenchanted American.
Sarah has thoughts relating to this in regards to another fine film. To me, I can see Will Kane asking for help only to see townspeople he asks get mad at him for doing what needs to be done. Hanson examines the psychology. I just relate Kane to Bush.
