    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...

Fort Apache quotes

  • [Beaufort is addressing a group of new recruits]

    Sgt. Johnny Beaufort: Gentlemen, this is a horse. You will observe it has no saddle. The reason it has no saddle is because it'll be easier for you to stay on without the saddle. Now, before we progress... did any of you gentlemen have the honor of serving with the Southern arms during the late War Between The States?

    Recruit: Yes, sir. I had the pride, sir, of serving with Bedford Forrest.

    Sgt. Johnny Beaufort: I am proud to shake your hand.

    Recruit: Thank you, sir.

    Sgt. Johnny Beaufort: I hope you have the pleasure of buying me a drink on your next payday.

    Recruit: An honor, sir.

    Sgt. Johnny Beaufort: You are now an acting corporal.

    First Sgt. Festus Mulcahy: Just a minute!

    Sgt. Quincannon: Aw, let him have one.

  • Lt. Col. Thursday: This Lt. O'Rourke - are you by chance related?

    RSM Michael O'Rourke: Not by chance, sir, by blood. He's my son.

    Lt. Col. Thursday: I see. How did he happen to get into West Point?

    RSM Michael O'Rourke: It happened by presidential appointment, sir

    Lt. Col. Thursday: Are you a former officer, O'Rourke?

    RSM Michael O'Rourke: During the war, I was a major in the 69th New York regiment... The Irish Brigade, sir.

    Lt. Col. Thursday: Still, it's been my impression that presidential appointments were restricted to sons of holders of the Medal of Honor.

    RSM Michael O'Rourke: That is my impression, too, sir. Will that be all, sir?
