In this case, the men are manly but love other men, and rather than the heroes of America they are kind of sad, working class guys who can't have what they want most. The old cowboy movies are seen as emblems of America in which manly, heterosexual, white men conquer the Other to pave the way for civilization.

But I'm a little confused: what do you mean "revisionist history thing"? I cried the whole second half. I mean, I'm still crying. Hoo dog, I loved this movie too.
