My Way

Another instance of how I would have done things differently.
Item: West World

Famous throughout the globe, not just in the West, West World was the first of the Man versus Robot experiences.

I do not like to criticize, (or not?) but I see a major shock opportunity passed by, possibly because they were cautious of being Too Shocking, perhaps?
I doubt they missed it without being, (On purpose.)

Setting the scene…Yul Brenner, (A robot) once again confronts Richard Benjamin and James Brolin, who have killed him in the past. He is just a robot but I would assume he was tired of being slaughtered.
Benjamin and Brolin are experiencing Hangover Effects from the night before. Neither is in the mood, but Yul says, “Draw!”
Brolin says, “Let me take this one.”
They draw…Brenner shoots him…blood splatters…he grabs his wound and says, “I’ve been shot!”…Brenner shoots him again.
This was a shock because that was not supposed to happen, and nobody expected James Brolin to get killed.

MUCH less of a shock than it could have been however, because previously a man was killed in a sword fight in Medieval World, and other robots had been seen acting abnormally. So we knew something was up.

My Way…
I would have had everything working perfectly to the point where Brenner faces Brolin. Then, when Brenner shoots Brolin, it would have been a Major Shock!
Then we see the man in Medieval World getting killed, and everything takes off from there.

They sort of gave it away the way they did it.

I don't remember the scene. The gunfights were rather passé. The best was the gunfight in High Noon with all the doubt and agony… "Do not forsake me, oh my darling!"

I feel the best part of West World was their depiction of the robots shut down of their costumes to their fabulous flesh. I know it probably was a bit cold for those actors with all those hot lights and camera on them, but I bet the crew was is turned on as I was to see some of the female stars allowing techs to work on them nonchalantly.
