spagetti or macaroni essays Which is the cheesiest? The answer is pretty obvious, but lets take a close look. Spaghetti Westerns, as their called, are a genre of western films, that have been created or filmed in Italy and are meant to portray the Wild West of America. Macaroni Westerns, as Ill call them, make up the traditional western genre, made in the United States.

In the Spaghetti Westerns, the language is a lot more diverse(lots of cussing). This is because each of these genres play to a different audience. The Macaroni Westerns are family films. They present right, wrong, and have many morals played out, such as, no matter how many bad people are trying to kill you, you can take them all on if you wear a badge and talk like John Wayne. The Macaroni Westerns were typically family movies, because it was typical Hollywood(serving to the masses, whatever sells big). Violence, profanity, and not having blatantly evil and good characters, wasnt selling at the time, so we got Macaroni. The Spaghetti Westerns, on the other hand, were not trying to please everybody.(just the Italian roughnecks) Sure, these westerns took a lot from the tradition...
