![“I saw Ben Stiller's movie Walter Mitty [2013]; it's very beautiful. You look at some of the movies John Ford did with John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart, and then look at Remington and Ansel Adams, and I think you see a connection, certainly in the imagery of the West.” quote by Owen Wilson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d53/owen-wilson-10973_beautiful_i-saw-ben-stiller-s-movie-walter-mitty-2_2134409.jpg)
