As Jason mentioned, this movie failed to include some minority groups, such as Asians and African Americans. The minority groups that were shown, Mexicans, and Native Americans, were portrayed in stereotypical and racist ways, with the Mexicans all wearing sombreros, and serapes, and the Native Americans as poor people who get drunk easily, and do crazy things while drunk. ~Katherine Stinson~ | As Jason mentioned, this movie failed to include some minority groups, such as Asians and African Americans.

| + | First Off - the song "Oh my Darling, Clementine," the movie's namesake - not a song about a prim and proper nurse who travels west from town to town to find her long last doctor love, only to be scorned by the new woman in his life. The song is about the daughter of a miner in the California Gold Rush of 1949, who falls into the water and drowns. So why, oh why, invent the title character Clementine and open up the movie with the song? The fictional character Clementine Carter in the movie didn't even have anything to do with the hostile dynamics between the Clantons and Earps, and certainly nothing to do with the OK Corral. So, how does the title of the movie, "My Darling Clementine" even relate to the main plot of the movie? ~Juliann | ||
I found the surgery scene to be misleading for a few reasons. First off Doc was walking around like a surgeon on "ER" who just scrubbed up, when cleanliness was not typically a recognized necessity. Also Doc became a surgeon in the movie when he was actually a dentist. Unless Chihuahua was shot in the mouth I don't see how he could have been a whole lot of help. Lastly, Chihuahua looked better on her death bed than she did in the rest of the film, not exactly an historical inaccuracy but bothersome nonetheless. -Bryan Mull | I found the surgery scene to be misleading for a few reasons.
