I like the combination of John Ford+John Wayne+Henry Fonda very much. I like Westerns and I will add one star. Except for the good ending, the other parts are too much nonsense and the plot is sloppy. Tiger Slaying Dragon is a lot...

Although there are two big names in the rivalry, although the framing is still magnificent, and the fighting scenes are aesthetic enough, but without the universal value connotation, it can only be a mediocre work in a Western...

On 6.5, the commander reneged on his promise while despising the fact that his subordinates were no different from barbarians. But this is actually the truth of the fact that the Americans have been robbing large tracts of land in the...

Ford's two royal male protagonists are on the same stage. I talked about a lot of "leisure chapters" of the daily life of the military camp. There are little humorous sparks from time to time in the slow and leisurely plot, but it is the most memorable. The dance was very funny. Only after checking the information did I know that the character played by Fang Da was based on General Custer. Great acting in this movie! PS: If you wear military uniforms, you really need to have tall legs to look...

3.5, Henry Fonda is the highlight (it's blackened in half), it's better to delete the emotional scene == although the heroine is very...

Dusty westerns with little detail because of too many characters. The storyline is also average, not very catchy. The 2-hour movie took 4 days to...

Take a day off before working, and the westerns are on the way. Another year of vicissitudes of life. It is rare to see Fonda and Wayne working together in the same film. Maybe the relationship between the two in reality is not...

There is no fairness and justice in this world. Bullying has always been a good thing for whitening. Even if you whitewash it, you will not be able to get rid of the evil deeds to the Indians. However, the Indians in this movie are not the losers, and the stupid one is Henry. Fonda, the movie has some ink marks, or John Wayne is a more suitable starring for Ford, Shirley Temple is still cute when she grows up as a girl, this is also the surprise of this...
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]
