A film that is too chatty, some little funny but completely submerged in the rambling plot. The heroine feels like a nympho, it should be Temple's first film published, not much interest. It's a pity to get the right NB directors, NB male and female...

The film is the first in John Ford's main theme western "The Troopers Trilogy". (It can also be said to be the first western film he began to reflect on.) The film's description of the arrogant and belligerent mentality of white generals can be said to be inconspicuous, and Henry Fonda's performance is excellent and high-level. The massacre scene in this film is quite tragic, reflecting the first-class standard of John Ford's shooting...

Isn't it just because of selfishness and unscrupulousness when doing business with the Indians in the reservation area, it is necessary to get the tribal chief convicted as the direct cause of the exodus after being inspected and smashed by his own rangers, and angrily denounced as "worse than war"? It's no wonder that Ford's influence has always been weakened by the intentional dodging of Hollywood posterity. A trade exchange promoted social progress and was looked down upon; a North American...

John Wayne is more of a hero than Eastwood's indistinguishable face. I am more familiar with Leone's westerns. As I get to know John Ford more and more, I understand that Leone Aune only kept the most cinematic parts of the genre, while Western culture, even the American spirit, should be found in the Westerns of John Ford's...

The first part of John Ford's "cavalry" trilogy, I feel this is the most fragrant after reading the trilogy. The adult Shirley Temple is quite beautiful, but unfortunately she didn't act in movies much...

Going back and being self-willed can be considered aristocratic spirit, heroic death? Is it the fall of human nature or the fall of morality? It's rare that I don't commit ptsd westerns, but if anyone thinks that General Irving represents what America should be like, then sorry, I am terrified of the human impact of Western movies, and I seriously doubt that this is what John Ford intended. Politically speaking, I prefer Captain...
Fort Apache Comments

[the regiment has arrived near the Apache's encampment]
Lt. Col. Thursday: I propose, Captain Yorke, to deploy the men: two troops to the north, one to the east. You will then converge on the encampment.
Captain Yorke: I wouldn't do that, sir.
Lt. Col. Thursday: I'm not asking your advice, Captain. I'm merely stating.
Captain Yorke: The Apaches, sir, are neither to the north nor the east. Nor are they in their encampment. But if you'da been watching the dust swirls to the south, like most of us, you'd see that they're right there!
[points to the Apaches coming over the rise]

[Col. Thursday is meeting with Cochise - Beaufort translates from Cochise's spanish into english]
Sgt. Johnny Beaufort: He says, "The Apaches are a great race," sir. "They've never been conquered. But it is not well for a nation to be always at war. The young men die... the women sing sad songs... and the old ones are hungry in the winter. And so I led my people from the hills. And then came this man.
[indicating Meacham]
Lt. Col. Thursday: [Cochise speaks more - Beaufort pauses] What did he say?
Sgt. Johnny Beaufort: Well, sir, a free translation would be that "Meacham's a yellow-bellied polecat of dubious antecedents and conjectural progeny." Cochise's words, of course, sir - not mine.
Lt. Col. Thursday: [looks at Meacham] That's a matter of opinion.
Sgt. Johnny Beaufort: [Cochise continues - Beaufort translates] "He is worse than war. He not only killed the men, but the women and the children and the old ones. We looked to the Great White Father for protection. He gave us slow death. We will not return to your reservation while that man
[indicating Meacham]
Sgt. Johnny Beaufort: is there or anyone like him. Send him away and we will speak of peace. If you do not send him away, there will be war. And for each one of us that you kill, ten white men will die!
Lt. Col. Thursday: Are you threatening us?
Captain Yorke: Don't interrupt, sir, it's an insult.
Lt. Col. Thursday: I'll not sit here and be threatened. Beaufort... no preliminary nonsense with him... no ceremonial phrasing. Straight from the shoulder as I tell you, do you hear me? They're recalcitrant swine and they must feel it.
Sgt. Johnny Beaufort: He's only speaking the truth, sir.
Lt. Col. Thursday: Is there anyone in this regiment that understands an order when it's given?
Sgt. Johnny Beaufort: What does the Colonel wish me to say, sir?
Lt. Col. Thursday: Tell them I find them without honor.
[Beaufort translates the words to Cochise]
Lt. Col. Thursday: Tell them they're not talking to me, but to the United States government. Tell them that government orders them to return to their reservation. And tell them that if they have not started by dawn, we will attack. Tell 'em that!
[Col. Thursday turns and walks away - Cochise and his group walk away]
