The Western and Samurai Influences of 'The Mandalorian'
Westerns and samurai films have a lot in common. For a start, both are significant to the mythology and pop culture of their respective countries, exaggerating the characters and settings they revolve around for the sake of great entertainment. In turn, you could argue that both genres have informed the way that people unrealistically imagine the Old West and Ancient Japan. Both genres also boast an abundance of movies that focus on lone-wolf characters roaming the lands. Cowboys carry guns and samurais wield swords, but their characteristics, motivations, and the situations they find themselves in are often similar.

The Little-Known History of the Wild West Is the Ultimate "Mandalorian" Easter Egg

If you’re all caught up or just don’t mind, let’s continue.

60 Free Film Noir Movies
During the 1940s and 50s, Hollywood entered a “noir” period, producing riveting films based on hard-boiled fiction. These films were set in dark locations and shot in a black & white aesthetic that fit like a glove. Hardened men wore fedoras and forever smoked cigarettes. Women played the femme fatale role brilliantly.
The Hitchcock and Truffaut Tapes
In 1962 François Truffaut carried out a series of extensive interviews with Alfred Hitchcock at his offices in Universal Studios. Recorded to audio tape, the content was eventually edited down into Truffaut’s famous book Hitchcock. Truffaut did not speak much English, so he hired Helen Scott of the French Film Office in New York to act as the translator for the sessions. The half hour sessions were subsequently broadcast on French radio and in 2006 Tom Sutpen started posting audio files on his blog ‘If Charlie Parker Was a Gunslinger, There’d Be a Whole Lot of Dead Copycats‘.
