Rooster Cogburn - KF

Rooster Cogburn is a film in which the idea of "others" is rather evident. Eula is without question not the average woman in a western and Cogburn is not the average alpha male. This reluctant duo is somewhat similar to Sara and Hogan from "Two Mules for Sister Sara". The big difference is that Eula is a far more savvy traveler then Sarah. Eula also garners respect when she displays her ability to think and make decisions when under duress. On top of that she is a rather talented marksman and not afraid to gun down anyone that she deems deserving. Cogburn is a alpha male who hasn't earned respect, if anything he has lost some of it by being demoted. Everyone is familiar with his skill set and bravery but his judgement is questionable. This is one of the few westerns in which the alpha male cowboy's decisions have been questioned and not praised.
