Anyone notice the many movies and TV shows (especially Westerns) where the protagonists' main motive for action is to avenge the killing of his brother?
Occasionally, there will be a woman seeking to avenge the killing of her sister (MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS is an example), but those cases are few and far between.
IRL, such sibling closeness is quite rare, in fact, in many cases, sibling rivalry goes on well into adulthood.
From the advice columns I read (Dear Abby, Ask Amy, etc.), so many brothers and sisters are totally estranged from each other, and certainly, none would spend the time (and risk their lives) to dig out their killers.
I realize that movies and TV are not necessarily a reflection of reality, but sometimes I find this situation especially untenable.
What do you think?
