Program Note
The rambler comes back to the wilderness. The wandering guitarist enters the town with a boy in search of his mother. His mother is a villain’s lover and refuses to see her son. The Guitarist finds out that the town’s development is an excuse for extortion from the people as they are about to lose the land that they have lived on for generations. The guitarist pulls the trigger to save them from the injustice. Elements of Western are much more apparent from the protagonist’s wardrobe and horse running on plain to the last confrontation. However the important progress is the theme of the series. As the guitarist goes back and forth between the wilderness and the city, his journey echoes with our effort to recover the nature preservation and ethical value lost in the way of industrial development.
