Clint Eastwood is a Western icon and his two favorite entries in the genre would have a big impact on how he would approach his own movies.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Two of Clint Eastwood's favorite Westerns had a big impact on his own work in the genre. The Western genre was waning in popularity by the time Eastwood became a movie star in the 1960s, but his work in the Dollars movie trilogy or Hang 'Em High helped keep "Oaters" alive in the years that followed.
In Eastwood's work, he often played anti-heroes like the Man with No Name, who was never afraid to cheat his supposed allies or shoot people before they drew their own weapons. Eastwood is one of the genre's last real icons, and he signed off on Westerns for good with 1992's Unforgiven. Eastwood is unlikely to return for an old-fashioned Western adventure - although 2021's Cry Macho is something of a neo-Western - but his influence on the genre is undeniable.
How The Ox-Bow Incident & The Treasure of the Sierra Madre Influenced Clint Eastwood's Own Westerns In speaking about The Ox-Bow Incident in 2003, Eastwood talked about it being one of the first films of moral weight he ever watched. He went in expecting a piece of entertainment, but the film instead explored themes like vigilante justice, racism and even toxic masculinity.
Likewise, Treasure of Sierra Madre is an early example of a Hollywood movie that wasn't afraid to make its main characters unlikeable, with Humphrey Bogart's - who was then one of the biggest movie stars in the world - protagonist having few redeeming qualities. In contrast to the more clean-cut heroes of the era this is what made the film stand out, and Clint Eastwood himself would cultivate and refine the idea of the anti-hero in many of his Westerns.
