    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...

    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

  • [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.
