Lonely are the Brave

["John Hartog" <>]

I recently watched a video of Lonely are the Brave, a 1962 film based
on an Edward Abbey book - The Brave Cowboy (1956).
Although most of the film is pretty much a typical fugitive on the run
western, the first ten minutes shows contrasts between
quiet-open-natural and noisy-fenced-modern worlds.
A cowboy is riding across open ground on his nearly-wild horse. When
they come up to a wire fence with a no-trespassing sign, he simply
takes out his handy wire cutters, clears his path, and continues
riding. Eventually they come to another kind of fence: this one wide,
loud, confusing, and they nearly become roadkill. Now, I must read the
book.
-John Hartog
