Setup

Analysis of a text from the anthology about how to set up a story in the first few minutes. Comparison of setups of "Shane", (George Stevens, 1953) and "Pale Rider" (Clint Eastwood, 1985). Mentioning of fact that a similar story, with exactly the same premise and lead character's concerns (ie giving up being a killer, lured back to protect a family from some evil-doing bad elements and ultimate "disappearance" of the hero after order is restored) is contained in the 2017 "Wolverine spin-off" Logan, which actually quotes from Shane verbatim at the end and uses footage from Shane during the course of the action in the movie.
