hollywood cowboys

I dont know too much about John Wayne and his western movies but i know that hollywood doesnt care all that much about historical history. There main goal is to make money and to do that they need to make the best possible movies. so if they think in a movie, twisting the facts around would make it more interesting and enjoyable then why not but they cant twist the facts around too much then it will become unrealistic and unenjoyable so they have to meet somewhere halfway. sometimes a movie will make a side story around the historical event like in Titanic, the ship really exsisted and stuff but they made up this plot to go along with it ,as in there wasnt really a Jack and Rose they just add it make the story more interesting. i bet most if not all movies about historical events (besides documentaries) add hollywood elements to it like dramatize it or add more action/comedy to the event to make it better. this almost ties in with stereotypes that people think of cowboys as being a heroic figure when in reality there just cattlemen but the idea of a hero is a lot greater snd everyone goes a long with it like kids are cowboys for halloween but they dont know they dressed as person not to different from a farmer.

that picture up there is of an actuall cowboy. in the picture he is doing his actuall job. yeah it looks a lot better in the moview where he has wearing an awesome cowboy hat and a gun in his hand and instead of hurding cows he's chasing after indians or other rival cowboys. cowboys were just normal people living in a crazy time in america where their wasnt much law and everyone was homesteading. some cowboys were like how they are in the movies though some were gunmen or lawmen and some were outlaws but i guarantee every other race or culture also had people that were gunmen lawmen and outlaws. its just something about the cowboys that makes them more interesting then everyone else but i cant tell what but i get it though for some reason the cowboys do seam more awesome then everyone else and that why they have this heroic figure to them in the movies.
