What is a "revisionist Western"?
A revisionist Western is a genre of film, television, or literature that reinterprets traditional Western themes and ideas. These stories often challenge or change the usual portrayals of cowboys, outlaws, and lawmen by presenting a more complex or critical view of the American West. Revisionist Westerns may address historical inaccuracies, explore moral ambiguity, and highlight the perspectives of marginalized groups. The goal is to offer a fresh and often more nuanced perspective on Western themes, moving beyond the traditional heroic and simple portrayals of the genre.
