there will be no more cowboys

"The Resurrection of Broncho Billy" will probably be of interest to people nowadays for its Oscar win and the participation of future horror director John Carpenter. As for me, I interpreted as meaning that there will be no more cowboys. The titular character has his ambitions and fantasies, but that's what they remain. The common image of the Old West can only exist in movies and will not return.

Anyway, it's an interesting short. Worth seeing.
