I mean, it’s a read. Not one I feel Zack meant, but it’s the read that makes it a choice not a mistake.

No, you don’t have the capacity to understand the discussion.

Is brought to bare to show the inherent lawlessness and anonymity of the old west.”
So does it prove he’s sexist? No because it serves a narrative point.
Is the namelessness of Forgo to highlight the inherent namelessness of women in the ancient world?

So the question isn’t “a hack” is does having a “man with no name trilogy prove the inherent sexism of a director’s position?”
In this context, having a no named character point to sexism? Considering that he’s not the only man, and that it’s a choice we can discuss that the “lone gun man archtype

EASTWOOD DIDN’T WRITE OR DIRECT IT. I didn’t say Leana Heady was a hack or sexist. You aren’t a film guy, are you?

Sergio Leoni shot that, not Eastwood, and he didn’t write it. Look if you are just gonna repeat what the other guy said, I am just gonna leave.
Do you think it’s sexist that “the man with no name” is named after not having a name cause it’s so weird?

No. And I explained why.
SHE IS ON SCREEN.
HAS LINES.
PERFORMS ACTIONS CENTRAL TO THE PLOT.

But no, I didn’t name every women who exists in the universe (since a good deal take place in Chicago) I didn’t name the 38 year old mother of 3 living in the north suburbs who is struggling to pay her mortgage and is never talked about or appears “on screen” except as an out of focus extra.

Is that where you are going with this?
So to be the same thing, I would have to have a character who drives plot points. Who moves the story but isn’t the main PoV, and STILL doesn’t have a name.
I told you in the stories and screenplays I wrote, all the women in the stories I wrote have names.

Aliens has:
Ripley,
Mira (Dropship Pilot),
Vasquez and
Dietrich (Medic)
All those names are mentioned AND DISPLAYED on screen.

You understand for George Lucas in Episodes 4-6, the OG, naming all the women is:
Princess Leia
Mon Mothma
That’s it.

First of all, nobody joins the Guard to act against US citizens or serve in a LE capacity. But LE members do join their orgs for that particular reason. That’s why they exist. And so LE is more likely to lean into doing it as hard as they can. Guard members will lean away.
