Red River- KB

Red River shows the desire to be an alpha male. In this film their is clearly one alpha male, Dunson. Garth aspires to be a alpha male but he does not fit the description. Thompson defines an alpha male as someone who has control and is looked up to as a perfect being. Dunson fits this description perfectly, throughout the entire film Dunson exemplifies what it is to be an alpha male. He takes control and always has his eye on the main goal. He didn't let his emotions of his girl get in the way he knew what was right for both of them and the main goal and that was for her to stay behind. Garth aspires to be an alpha male however does not have the correct attitude. He does not take control of situations and is more interested in his own success rather than the common good. Red river clearly shows the typical alpha male in the attitudes and actions of Dunson.
