Liam Neeson in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
Summary The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, the Coen Brothers' Netflix Western, earns a high accuracy grade from an Old West historian. Released on the streamer in 2018, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs comprises six vignettes, all of which chronicle different aspects of life on the American frontier in the 19th century. The well-received Western anthology film features a star-studded cast across the six shorts, with actors including Liam Neeson, Tim Blake Nelson, James Franco, and Clancy Brown.
“This Tim Blake Nelson character, Buster Scruggs, is hysterical because he’s a singer cowboy right out of the 1930s suddenly appearing in the Old West. Nobody wore a costume like that, that’s all an invention of Roy Rogers and Gene Autry, movie cowboys from the ‘30s and ‘40s. Strolls into a saloon that has batwing doors, which most did not, by the way. The swinging doors was an invention of movies and television.
“On a frontier town like that, there wasn’t a whole lot of cash available. It was largely a cashless society. It was more on barter than anything else, and so only banks in more established communities really had the cash that was worth the effort, that bank robbers might undertake to rob one. 1984's Blood Simple, the first Coen Brothers movie, is very much a low-budget neo-Western, and it's the project responsible for getting their filmmaking career off the ground. In subsequent decades, the brothers would return to the genre on several occasions, each time presenting a radically different take on it. In 2007, they would release the critically-acclaimed No Country for Old Men, a deadly serious neo-Western, and in 2010 they released True Grit, their first true period Western.
