词汇	white hats and black hats
词源	white hats and black hats. Early western silent movies dressed the hero in a white hat and the villain in a black hat to make it easier for the audience to follow the plot. Observed Louis L’Amour in a 1982 interview: “They joke about the black hats and the white hats, but there were very few grays in the West . . . There were a few men who shifted from one side of the law to the other, but by and large that was not true, they were just what they seemed to be.”
