Wyatt Earp: A Force To Be Reckoned With

For my project, my group will be viewing the feature hollywood film, "Wyatt Earp". The film portrays the life of legendary lawman Wyatt Earp and follows the many exciting up and downs of his life. He is extremely close with his brothers and throughout the whole movie they work and live together as a cohesive unit with Wyatt always being the head of the family. The movie has many historical references but the most interesting of course is Wyatts participation in the famous gunfight at the OK Corral. My favorite character in the movie, as well as the most diverse, is Doc Holliday. Doc is dying of tuberculosis and is heavy drinking, crazy comical figure that gives viewers a nice change of pace from Wyatt's serious demeanor. The film depicts what life was like for law enforcement in the West and it also portrays on of the most famous gunslingers of all time, Wyatt Earp. Excellent film and I would recommend for all action lovers.
