KRW Wrote:I ended up getting "Pale Rider" for a fathers day present, and since it was fathers day I watched it. Toward the end of the movie, I said to my dad, how much the ending of "Pale Rider" reminded me of "Shane".
He turned to me and said "That was "Shane".
I don't remember "Shane'" very well, but I do believe he's got a point.
Anyone else notice the similarities?
You're not the first person I have heard this from. I am not that familiar with "Shane" either. Will have to get it and watch it again to see. BUt I had a friend who said basically the same thing your dad did. Will have to give it a look.
On a side note, most of "Pale Rider" was filmed in good old Idaho (with the exception of a few scenes in towns other than the main story take place, and the train station). A lot of people thought it was filmed in the Sawtooth Mountains, but that is wrong, the opening scenes show the Sawtooths but the movie was mostly filmed in the Boulder Mountains an area I have spent a lot of time in. Beautiful country and tons of backwoods trails.
