This movie did have nature vs. nurture in it, but somehow I can't support my view with the movie. The man who was to be put on the train to Yuma was supposed to be a very bad man, but he really wasn't. However, he basically raised himself. His mother left him at a train station reading nothing but the Bible for three days. That doesn't sound like a very good upbringing.
Then the boy never listened to his father. He had a mouth on him and had a huge ego. He also loved to hurt his father by putting him down, but he was raised with care. In the end, his nurturing did win; he wanted to stay and help the man that had helped him, his father.
I think in this movie nature wins the arguement. I can't seem to spin it to make the nurture come out on top.
