Inklings // May 2025

 

Just a quick post before I leave for a couple of week's holiday... another Inklings post (check rules for linking up here).

This month's Inklings prompt is: 

A stagecoach scene in book or film

I haven't watched that many films featuring stagecoaches, and I just couldn't think of a scene for this one. Finally, yesterday, I thought of one part of The Magnificent Seven (1960).

This scene does feature a stagecoach:

and also a horse-drawn hearse: 

so I thought it qualified!

I absolutely love this film. It's got a great plot, realistic characters with plausible backstories and character arcs, amazing music which I would and do listen to just because it's amazing music, and it's got almost no bad language/inappropriateness in it. I've watched it so many times, and I've loved it more on each rewatch. You can find a link to the whole scene here. (Just a warning: the film does have the occasional mild bit of bad language, and this scene features a few of those.)

As I said at the beginning of this post, I'm away for a few weeks, so if you decide to comment I won't be able to publish it straight away. Please do comment, though! I'd love to hear from you. Have you ever watched this film? Do you enjoy Westerns?

  1. Ah yes, the horse-drawn hearse! This movie is due for a rewatch for me.

  2. Great post, Cecilia!

    I haven't watched "The Magnificent Seven", but it sounds very intriguing!

    I do enjoy the occasional Western here and there - the ones that came out in the 40s and 50s are usually my favorite. :)

    1. Do watch it! It's well worth it. The music is amazing, too.

      Westerns aren't usually my cup of tea, either, but there are a few that I do like - which ones you enjoy?

    2. "Tulsa" was one that I enjoyed... The old Disney "Zorro" series is quite good too. Does "Little House on the Prairie" count? 😂

    3. Ha, I think "Little House on the Prairie" counts! It's certainly more my style of Western than many 😂

  3. I really should watch this at some point...I don't believe I've ever seen a Western, which is a little shameful! (Beyond a couple Western-inspired Star Trek episodes, that is - and I don't know that that counts. :P)

    1. I haven't seen that many Westerns, either - they're not my favourite, usually. "The Magnificent Seven" is definitely good fun, though. (I've actually never watched Star Trek, but I want to, as it's so famous ;) )
