The series broadcast on La7 starring Kevin Costner pays homage to the “founding” genre of American cinema: the western
Clearly, on La7, the series that pays tribute to the “foundational” genre of American cinema. In fact, the colors, spaces, images and sounds of the western d’autore
thanks to the authorial figure of Taylor Sheridan, creator, director and screenwriter. I’m talking about “Yellowstone” (four seasons), “a pristine land to be defended at all costs”. The narrative structure follows the classic scheme of the genre: Kevin Costner plays John Dutton, breadwinner and ranch ownerready to do anything to defend the borders of his land against the external enemy (no longer the Indians, in this case, but the expansive modernity, thegreed of billionaire builders e politicians under the control of multinationals of oil and timber).
But, as the canon requires, there is also the lotta internalagainst the four children: Kayce, a veteran who left the Dutton clan to live on the reservation with his wife and son (also natives claim their rights); Jamie, a lawyer looking to start a career in politics; Beth, the only woman, a ruthless work in the s
financial sector and some problems with alcohol, which will immediately prove to be the closest to the father; and Lee, who has dedicated his life to the ranch. In the background, the uncontaminated valleys of Montana, the edge of the desert, a stallion to be tamed (all too symbolic), an ancient world that is about to collapse, history to be rewritten according to political correctness, unscrupulous building expansion …. When “Yellowstone” aired in the United States, at the White House he had been sitting for a year Donald Trump and it seemed that the series was getting back into circulation a nostalgia Made of white supremacy e you antimodernismo. In reality, “Yellowstone” is nothing more than America with his trees and yours contradictions
his dreams and yours ruinous fallswith a writing attentive to psychological dynamics
more refined.
