Why did Melbourne Stone want to maintain violence in the weapon?

Every member of the CBS Western Drama “Gunsmoke” team had a role to play, and most of the time, they kept small screen professions over their work period. If the troubles come at all to the long branch salon, Miss Kitty in Amanda Blake was always in the middle. If from the outside it represents a threat to the members of the city of Dodge, James Arce Marshall Matt Delon was often the provider of justice. But Galen Adams of Melbourne Stone, who is referred to as Doc, was always at the forefront and the center whenever someone fell ill or needed a bullet withdrawn from it.

When most “Gunsmoke” characters are fluent in seizing lives, DOC is more responsible for saving them. Stone was the only actor in the “Gunsmoke” collection, along with the ARNESS, which was present Throughout its amazing operating period, which is 20 seasons. It has brought a very close approach in this role, and it often alternates between Silic and a kind -hearted spirit that makes him one of the most reliable matches in Dodge City. It is easy to be a little mystery when the bullets are withdrawn from the corpses over 600 episodes.

Throughout the 1960s, there were fluctuations when it came to violence on network TV, with “Gunsmoke” often caught in the crossing. But self -censorship was a stone of feelings believed to be the wrong step, especially in the context of a series that occurs in the wild West days (across Metv):

“The trend now is to eliminate all violence as much as possible, and I think this is a ridiculous position; I do not like the power that does not mean anymore from the next man, but the violence was in the ancient West.”

Stone also expanded when it was frustrated by the effects of CBS from television violence, claiming that “Gunsmoke” was a moral photography that draws a picture of a different time and its consequences:

“Violence in the cutting period is not the same as in contemporary shows; in the end, we always appear that the crime does not pay. There is a psychological difference between characters in fashion and characters who wear clothes like the next man.”

The “Gunsmoke” violence was a relative dressage from a contemporary perspective, but to the Stone point, neutral violence steals it from its strong existence. Whenever an episode appears on someone who is shot, it either falls and/or is shown with a red spot on their person. The most violent aspect is the screaming roar that emanates from the same pistols. But those touches are still The weight of the gun that is launched as a weapon for the last death (something “Barry” from HBO has also done so after decades).

The most interesting thing is that “Gunsmoke” still served as rats that have been hit throughout the 1960s, especially such as the large western screen, which often used the same tricks, expanded to depict violence. Clean heroes in the Wild West, such as Marshal Delon They began to overcome the complex anti -hero anti -Sergio Lyon and Beckenba. For the extent that these directors have received for depicting violence at that time, There is still something like “The Wild Bunch” because it presented an honest picture of the extent of intimidation of a random fire in a loud town.

“Gunsmoke” cannot go to be only on TV networks, but Stone’s words are a time fraught with time that photography is not fully equivalent to support.

Each episode of “Gunsmoke” currently flows on Pluto TV.
