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...

great western director
The plot is not a typical western.
John Ford is the greatest director of Westerns, and he can handle even a simple group of people walking by. He has his own special shooting location, and in that environment, it matches his lens.
Ford has been a director since the silent film era, so his control... -

ride one of three
Shortly after the end of World War II, some important directors either stopped writing or lost their creative motivation. Ford, a veteran of the studio era, was such an active veteran filmmaker who remained at the heart of the movie scene after the war.
Because of the Western's irrefutable, colonial...

[the regiment is getting ready to attack - Col. Thursday scans the horizon with his binoculars]
Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: I don't see them. Not a one.
Captain Yorke: Well, they're down there, sir... among the rocks.
Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: Have you seen 'em, Captain?
Captain Yorke: I don't have to - I know.
Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: How?
Captain Yorke: 'Cause if I were Cochise, that's where I'd take up position.
Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: And that dust cloud beyond?
Captain Yorke: It's an Apache trick. Probably squaws and children draggin' mesquite.
Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: [dubious, sarcastically] Very ingenious, Captain. You make me suspect your Cochise has studied under Alexander the Great, or Bonaparte at the least. Gentlemen, march your troops. We'll charge in a column of fours.
Captain Yorke: Mounted in fours? That's suicide, Colonel! I tell you they're down there...
Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: Captain Yorke, you're relieved of command of your troop. There's no room in this regiment for a coward.
Captain Yorke: [angrily throws down his glove in front of Col. Thursday] At your service, sir!
Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: Bugler, pick up Captain Yorke's gauntlet. I'm no duellist, Captain. I will decide whether I will answer you with pistols or a general court martial. You will remain on the ridge... in safety... with the supply train. Take O'Rourke with you.

[in the storeroom at Meacham's trading post, the soldiers find boxes marked "Bibles" - Col. Thursday tells the men to open them - when they do, they find kegs of whiskey instead]
Sgt. Quincannon: Bibles, sir!
Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: [Col. Thursday hands a cup to Sgt. Mulcahy] Sergeant, pour me some scripture.
[Sgt. Mulcahy dips the cup into a keg and hands it to Col. Thursday. He takes a sip and spits it out]
Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: What's in this? Brimstone and sulfur?
Silas Meacham: You know what it is and I'm entitled to keep it.
Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: Your license may permit you to keep a medicinal store of whiskey, but this is no whiskey.
Silas Meacham: Perhaps you're not used to frontier whiskey.
Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: I don't know... I've tasted most everything.
[to Sgt. Mulcahy]
Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: Sergeant, you a judge of whiskey?
First Sgt. Festus Mulcahy: [looks around at the others] Uh, well, sir, some people say I am and some say I'm not, sir.
Lt. Col. Owen Thursday: [hands him the cup] Tell me what you make of this.
First Sgt. Festus Mulcahy: [takes a drink - makes a face at Meacham - takes another drink] Well, uh, it's better than no whiskey at all, sir.
