Odd---my life seems to do that without a screenwriter. Haven't you ever heard the phrase, "You'll laugh, you'll cry..."?

several movies Wayne made are like this- The Alamo,Hatari,El DorAdo,True Grit..Ect. It seems this is a common trait of his films.

If this bothers you, then you'll definitely want to skip all of Quentin Tarantino's work, a good portion of Kurosawa and Lynch...

Not good according to whom? You? That's your opinion- pardon me if I ignore it.

That's not good because for one thing, it makes it
an uneven film. Either settle on one main theme or another.

That's not just an opinion. Pardon me if I tell you that
your opinion about my facts don't count.
