I still think the first 20 minutes of OUATITW needs to be studied in film classes. It's one of the best examples of "Show, don't tell".
According to my cousin, his flim teacher in Russia used it as such example so

It's just an astounding piece of film. Really a shame a lot of people miss the point of it entirely though.

The final duel in the movie is also legitimately great too, just as tense as the Mexican standoff in TGTBTU

I actually had some ideas written down for a Western similar to Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid as well as Once Upon A Time in the West/Once Upon a Time in America

better IMO, I like GBU more overall but the climax or Once Upon a time is way better, just slower build to get there

TLDR, I had it hopping around from time period to time period between the 1870s and 1910s.

Focusing on a character kind of similar to Noodles from OUATIA and John Marston from Red Dead.

Partially bc of Red Dead 1 and 2 but I love that early 1900s era for western, the last of the wild west really with civilization creeping in. Probably red dead 2 more, not quite as civilized yet
