The Coen Brothers have a good understanding of what makes an old West story work from a character and the story point of view.
1) Engaging characters - They chose all the iconic characters of the old West - The bank robber, The outlaw ......
2) Story - Violence , Survival, Hard Life .......
3) The Western Frontier - The vast, natural and unspoiled scenery is a big part of the old West stories and movies.
Perhaps they knew that it is impossible to make a full length movie for each and every of these old West characters. There is simply not enough interest and money these days to produce old school Westerns. So, they thought outside of the box and made several short movies. Just like a Tarantino movie is a love letter to the action cinema of years gone by, this is also a Coen brothers love letter to the old West movies.
