Through a generic interpretation of the films Assault on Precinct 13 (John Carpenter, 1976) and Neighboring Sounds (O Som ao Redor, Kleber Mendonça Filho, 2012) according to the methodology proposed by Rick Altman (2011), the intention of this study is to analyse how these films re-signify the western.The comparative analysis aims to demonstrate that the differences on the institutionalization of the law in the United States and in Brazil play an important role in the gender aspects of the films.
