Reflecting on his audiencing experience of Westerns between the 1960 and 2016 remake of the movie, The Magnificent Seven, the author reflects on the social justice mission of the film plot. He comments on the complex presentation of the racialized/ethnic other in Yul Brynner and Denzel Washington as lead bad-boys-turned good, in a homosocial band of renegade brothers. The author uses a line from Johnny Cash’s “Man in Black” as commitment to a stylized performance for justice. In the end, the author attempts to reconcile his queer desire for the cowboy figure, as a form of disidentification with a romanticized yet still violent character-type.

回顾他在1960年至2016年对电影《壮丽的七人》进行翻拍期间对西方人的旁听经历，作者对电影情节的社会正义使命进行了反思。他评论了在Yul Brynner和Denzel Washington中，种族混血/种族种族的另一种复杂表现形式，他们是由叛徒兄弟组成的同族社会，是由坏男孩转变为善良的。作者将约翰尼·卡什（Johnny Cash）的《黑衣人》（Man in Black）中的一句作为对风格化正义表现的承诺。最后，作者试图调和对牛仔形象的古怪渴望，这是一种带有浪漫主义色彩但仍然带有暴力色彩的身份认同形式。
