3:10 to Yuma
3:10 to Yuma (2007) needs more fics, or AUs, or fanart, it's an amazing film that goes over how grey the old west was rather than the dramatic black and white lenses we saw it through because of stereotypes and western films.
It goes over morals and values, we see this brought up when Wade mentions that Butterfield didn't even call attention to how many lives he took but rather talked about how much money he stole. Wade also mentions how McElroy has murdered like Wade before, and yet Bryon McElroy considers himself better, constantly shoving his faith into conversations as if to prove he is a good man when he never was.
The movie is like a coming of age story for William, a young 14 year old boy who is the son of Dan Evans, he sees his father's loyalty to God and his devotion to justice and how it's led to men like Hollander (the town banker and a saloon owner) to walk all over him. But by the end of the film his father became a brave man who had conquered one of the most wanted men in the west.
Daniel/Dan Evans is one of the main characters, through the film we see his achievements and his failures, we see his loyalty to his religion, how his family shares the same morals. More importantly we see the devastation in his family, lacking money for rent, for food, for anything. We see Dan face his sons despite their disappointment, we see him face his wife despite her lack of love. How poverty has strained the relationship between him and his wife, between him and his oldest son William, and even starting to disconnect him and his youngest son.
Ben Wade is an outlaw in the West, who had been abandoned by his parents and says he thinks doing good deeds might be "habit forming." He points out the flaws of each person he interacts with and seems to have a strong mindset of how the world around him is corrupt, only to have his view tested upon meeting Dan Evans.
Wade and Evans' dynamic is strong and well written out, they tell stories of their past to one another, they talk about morals and throughout the story get to know one another. Even briefly working together twice. At the end of the story, we can even see Wade almost shed a tear for Dan Evans.
Overall I think it's a good film with amazing story telling.

3:10 to Yuma Fandom
Fandom so small you could use it as a unit of measurement for your ex's 🍆 (You'd probably need a smaller unit of measurement still)
3:10 to Yuma and Red Dead Redemption
There's many similarities to the 2007 film, 3:10 to Yuma, and Red Dead Redemption 2!
So if you love Westerns, cowboys, hot guys, potential for fanfiction in a movie, and a beautiful short story, you might want to watch 3:10 to Yuma!
Here are the similarities between 3:10 to Yuma and RDR 2!
Charlie Prince (3:10 to Yuma), he's an outlaw, he's loyal, and? He's a bit too much like Micah. Hell sometimes they sound like each other!
Ben Wade (3:10 to Yuma): He's an outlaw with a heart, the leader of the gang who goes from being fully of himself and not caring for his gang or anyone for that fact, to developing a friendship with a broke rancher which possibly changed his mindset! I'd say he's similar to Dutch Van Der Linde and Arthur Morgan. Plus he draws.
I know this post is a bit of a stretch but I just need more people to watch and talk about 3:10 to Yuma.
how I feel begging people to join my fandom
(It's way too small, but please watch 3:10 to Yuma and if you like it please post about it, make art, or something, someone, please.)
If you like RDR:
If you like Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 and you like watching movies, then I recommend 3:10 to Yuma (2007) Starring Russell Crowe and Christian Bale, it's based off a short story and follows a poor rancher named, Dan Evans, and a dangerous outlaw named Ben Wade, as their journey goes on together they go from enemies to friends, and are tested on their friendship with a gun fight in the town.
(Ben Wade played by Russell Crowe in 3:10 to Yuma 2007)
(Dan Evans played by Christian Bale in 3:10 to Yuma 2007)
And for those who like fanfiction and shipping, there's great potential for Dan Evans and Ben Wade if you look at their dialogue with a romantic view on it.
