Ethan is a lonely and contradictory man. On the one hand, he can take revenge for his family's loneliness for many years, but on the other hand, he is out of tune with his family, and he is stubborn with others, and is unwilling to admit that Marty is an adopted nephew. Beneath the powerful exterior, he's brokenhearted, shoots the Indians, kills the herd to vent, and even tries to kill Debbie. In the end he showed his sanity and brought Debbie back, but at the end he was still alone, cut off from the joys inside. And Marty is more affectionate. Although he is an adopted son, he is better than a blood relative. He does not give up looking for his sister, and he also loves Laurie deeply. But we have no reason to criticize Ethan's ruthlessness in comparison. His love has been lost, and he has almost given up. It is only after years of searching in this situation that he is more determined.

The pinnacle of the legendary Western, a more rational view of the relationship between whites and Indians. The protagonist played by John Wayne has an Indian-like killing heart, Martin has half Indian blood, Debbie is almost assimilated by Indians, and the chief Speaks fluent English and is handsome. These all show that the film's reflection on racism is different from the vilification of Indians in many westerns.

Laurie Jorgensen: [Martin is preparing to join a raid against the Indians and rescue Debbie] You're not goin', not this time.
Martin: Are you crazy?
Laurie Jorgensen: It's too late. She's a woman grown now.
Martin: But I gotta go, Laurie, I gotta fetch her home.
Laurie Jorgensen: Fetch what home? The leavings of a Comanche buck, sold time and again to the highest bidder, with savage brats of her own?
Martin: Laurie, shut your mouth.
Laurie Jorgensen: Do you know what Ethan will do if he has a chance? He'll put a bullet in her brain.
[pause]
Laurie Jorgensen: I tell you, Martha would want him to.
Martin: Only if I'm dead.
