Just realized the Opening Door shot in the first scene of Silverado seems to be a visual and thematic homage to the Closing Door shot in The Searchers

I rewatched Silverado the other day- as one does - and realize for the first time that the shot in the first scene where Emmett opens the cabin door to “enter the wild” seems to homage the famous shot in The Searchers where the “door to civilization” closes on Ethan. Thoughts?
