The Harder They Fall- Easily now in my list of all time favorite movies- Netflix
As a kid I loved Spaghetti Westerns. Maybe it was the experience of watching these movies with dad. While this is not the first Black Western, it is definitely my favorite. I absolutely loved the reggae songs on the soundtrack, and if anyone is a Lauryn Hill fan. What a treat.
While fictional, it is inspired by the lives of some real people. It’s also a timely film in terms of discussions about historical inaccuracy. As a kid watching Shane, Magnificent Seven, and so many others, I had no idea that there were black cowboys. I had never heard of Stage Coach Mary.
The real stage coach Mary was the first black USPS employee. A bad ass gunslinger that protected the mail. That’s not how she is portrayed in this movie. But again it’s. this is a fictional movie.
Meet Stagecoach Mary, the Daring Black Pioneer Who Protected Wild West Stagecoaches
Would-be mail thieves didn’t stand a chance against Stagecoach Mary. The hard-drinking, quick-shooting mail carrier sported two guns and men’s clothing.
