Great film, I really enjoyed the poetic flavor here. What was it at the end? Something about a rifle and him getting tired of switching it around, "there's no target on earth, and no purpose in heaven." Very well done. As for the Bush commentary, I think the movie hints that George Bush is not a complex man, just like Billy the Kid wasn't a very complex man either. And why would you assume that only people who understand Bush's supposed "complexity" are the ones who watch this movie. It was made by the French for heaven's sake, most of whom likely despise Bush at this point. The melancholy telling of end of an era, along with a parallel side story of present day happenings in the same location reveals much about the character and vitality of the West and its people.
