Discuss What Ideological Meaning is Generated by The Milieu of The Western?
The milieu of the Western was primarily designed to provide entertainment to the masses, to basically tempt millions of ordinary American citizens to go to the cinema from the 1900s onwards, especially after the First World War. The earliest examples of the milieu of the Western can be traced back to almost the beginning of the filmmaking industry. The first distinct Western film was made as early as 1898 with the release of ‘Cripple Creek Barroom’. The commercial potential of the milieu of the Western was demonstrated by the success of The Great Train Robbery’ in 1903. The relatively strong level of profits made by the earliest Westerns meant that more and more of these were made. The Broncho Billy series of Westerns made G M Anderson the first major star of the genre, with some 375 of these short films appearing in cinemas between 1908 and the release of the last one in 1915.
