When you mentioned your new obsession I had to look it up. Luckily wiki helped. :) If I have time next week (because my next days are awefully busy), I'll have to see if I can't find the movie somewhere...

This piece is really thoughtful written. I like how absolute the control of Ben Wade over his men is. The follow is every word, as if it was law or gospel. And the admiration in Prince is in every word.
Than Wade is drawning is interesting... is it a part of the movie? It hints at a hidden intelligence, intellectuality.

The description of the scenery and all the little details from the guns, to the word choice was great. For example, I've never heard of a Schofield before...

And then the comparison of the horse to the men, and Prince. The horse obeys, the men obey, there seems to be no difference.
The last quote drove that comparison really home. I wonder how Ben sees his own men... as true friends, I think not. More like... the horse. Something you care for, love a bit, but is ultimately not that important besides it uses.
