Closing paragraph 
The western film, then, has inevitably perpetuated
the myths of the American west. Western films are
entertainment, but they also carry messages about
America as a country that found its true identity
through the settling of the west. In these films and
the myths they propagate, historical reality becomes
shrouded in myth. Unpalatable facts about the
treatment of Native Americans are largely ignored
or glossed over. Even though America’s population
has changed dramatically over the last decades,
particularly with the growth in numbers of citizens
with Hispanic origins, for many Americans the myths
of the west as portrayed in western movies still hold
sway and affect the way Americans think of
themselves and their country.
