And I would proudly admit to doing the deed, even if I was going to rot in jail. I wouldn't even expect to get off. Not guilty, my @$$.<br /><br />And I kinda like the old-time justice of the West...there were morals and codes followed that I feel sometimes trump the present day court of law. "Trials" were a damn spot cheaper then than they are now. As a taxpayer, I'd rather a no-good scoundrel like Jake Spoon to get hung quickly than to have to hear about it for months like you do now. And then, after thousands of dollars are spent, you hear about cold-blooded thieves and murderers getting let off by hung juries and or just plain idiots.

That thought never crossed Gus's ...Blasphamus. That thought never crossed Gus's mind...he told me so himself. You ride with an outlaw, you die with an outlaw. And Jake crossed the line. <br /><br />Going back to your Godfather logic, Jake was a part of these killings, and would have been convicted in a court of law (whether he pulled the trigger or not) and more than likely sentenced to die given the sadistic nature of the crimes. Therefore this was eye for eye justice and he got what he "deserved". Its alright though, men like Call and McCrae lived by a higher ethical code (at least in terms of right and wrong so long as it didn't apply to whoring) that you wouldn't understand.

However, you might find it hard to believe Mr. Blogmaster, but I agree with your argument 100%. Guess I just never thought of it the way you put it and just watched the movie for pure cinema entertainment. It was probably your Godfather argument that won me over because it is true that the Godfather "always knows best." But you're exactly right...how could he be found "innocent". I mean he obviously killed those men. You sure he didn't get second degree murder of negligent homicide? If not than you are right, the movie is flawed in that it misrepresents our legal system.<br /><br />I like all your Top Movie Sheriffs, so instead of re-adding them, I'll just list a few more I thought of:<br /><br />- Cleavin Little as Sheriff Bart in Blazing Saddles<br /><br />- Captain Renault in Casablanca (homosexual overtones and all...thanks for pointing that out Mr. Blogmaster)<br /><br />Also incorporating detectives and other law figures:<br /><br />- Russell Crowe as Bud White in L.A. Confidential<br /><br />- Sidney Poitier as Virgil Tibbs In the Heat of the Night<br /><br />- Tommy Lee Jones as Samuel Girard in The Fugitive<br /><br />- Morgan Freeman as William Summerset in Seven<br /><br />And of course the all-time best law men in the history of film:<br /><br />- Augustus McCrae (Robert Duvall) and Woodrow Call (Tommy Lee Jones) in Lonesome Dove....you knew I had to get those in there.Lylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757146110731808926noreply@blogger.com
