It's like watching some of Kurosawa's films. On the one hand, he admires the dramatic climax and the beauty of the group composition; on the other hand, he is endlessly slanderous for the facial characters and the innocent and immature themes. Hopefully, the embarrassing situation of the subject matter limit affects the shaping of the characters. If not, our family can only say goodbye to John Ford’s literary films...

There are no tigers and no dragons. It is a political film. Finally, Mr. Smith went to Washington. James Stewart's younger appearance is older than his old age, and John Wayne is still great. Technically, I can't see how it's better, it's...

The first John Wayne I watched is also the actual first John Ford, a kind of rugged western masculine breath rushing to my face. Even if I haven’t seen any movies before Wayne, I can expect him to play. The role is definitely a tough guy with resoluteness and decisiveness, but he feels that it restricts the play of the role. As for Lee Marvin, he is obviously in order to cater to the main theme of French popularization, and he is so mentally retarded that he is a little...

7/10. John Ford deconstructed the Western myth: everyone in the newspaper knew that it was an unknown cowboy who killed the mob, and the editor tore up all the files because people would rather believe that the hero halo belonged to a political figure. Wayne bid farewell to barbarism (the cactus next to the coffin) and chose to help democracy (the rose), secretly assisted in transferring the authority of force to young lawyers to ensure the stability of the new order, and the supporting role of...

It is the first time to see John Wayne play such a special tear-jerking hero that represents the end of the era, and Stewart is eclipsed by Marvin Lee. The advent of law and order made the western rule of violence against violence withdrawn from the stage of history. Not only was it not getting a beloved woman, but it was also the sorrow of giving up the whole society. Ford deliberately filmed the final congress with satire into a noisy feeling, and he probably knows what the director...

It is clearly a Proganda film in its bones, but even if it is so good-looking, John Ford's biggest style may be the digestion style: one move and one style, with a clear eye. Moreover, the whole film does not simply dualize civilization and violence. The senator who represents the modern order is the legend of the shooting villain in the hearts of the public, but the cowboy who represents the original law is the real source: civilization is bred by violence. But ultimately committed to...

Democracy requires a reasonable law, the people’s vote, the freedom of the press, and the courage to defend it with guns. This is probably the model of American democracy, an upright politician and a hero behind it. Of course, our "drunkard" conscience is indispensable-the media that dares to...

John Wayne ignited the hut built for the newlyweds. This is a sad moment. He not only wants to lose his beloved woman, but also to bid farewell to his era. Trains bring capital, land becomes a commodity, and traditional values pass away. It is inevitable, but can new values and American spirit really defeat greed and evil? The greatness of Ford lies in the fact that it seems to promote justice but it shows the cowardice of justice, and the law is only a stage for the...

Tom Doniphon: [In Peter Ericson's kitchen visiting Hallie, see 's Ransom Stoddard's shingle, reads] 'Ransom Stoddard, At... torney at Law'
[amused]
Tom Doniphon: You're a persistent cuss, pilgrim. You really aim to hang that up outside somewhere?
Ransom Stoddard: [defiant] That's why I *painted* it.
Tom Doniphon: [gravely] Well, take some advice, pilgrim. You put that thing up, you'll have to defend it with a *gun*... and you ain't exactly the type.
