The fact that you've seen all these other Westerns really helped you appreciate how different this one was!! My favorite thing about this reaction was you noticing over and over again how it was a new kind of Western, or simply that it felt new, it felt fresh and almost current at times. This is exactly the time when things changed into that "modern" style, starting a couple of years before, with "Bonnie And Clyde" and "The Graduate" and others. And this film is actually making a comment on those changes, by starting the movie with early Hollywood western clips, then having the first sequence in sepia-tone, and then ending in sepia tone. "Your ways of doing things are over!" It's basically Hollywood talking to itself. The studio system collapsed literally that very year, 1969, when movies like "Easy Rider" and "Midnight Cowboy" (and this one) pointed the way to the future, which was more realistic, more violent, more sexual,, more three-dimensional. This movie straddles the old Western, and the New Hollywood of the 70s. Great movie and great reaction!!!!

They re-team in The Sting (1973), another movie you'll love.
