    John Wayne is really domineering, but unfortunately the quality of the picture affects the look and feel, I prefer the ending is that the little girl will stay in the Indian tribe...

    John Wayne in John Ford's lens always looks so tall and mighty, like a hero. But this time Wayne is a tramp with an unknown criminal record, not only not a hero, but a very complex amoral character. The gun battlefield at the end of the film is very beautiful, the photography, especially the door frame composition, is really beautiful, and the music is also beautiful. The most rare thing is that on the basis of traditional western films, it proposes a reflection on the...

    It is said that it is the first part of the model show? Even with the limitations of the times, those shots of Indians are still extremely dazzling and annoying. Wayne Hei has remained the same throughout his life, and this guy is simply pretending to be a...

    Good looking and humorous. First compare the discriminatory attitudes towards Indians in previous Westerns. This film does not defend the Indians, but just tells the audience, look, the heroes you worship are no different from the...

    I rubbed it, this film is actually from 1956, it's a bunker, I didn't want to watch it at first, the retro style of the picture is really unimpressive, what about the plot, the front is not bad, the back is a little muddy, look This film is paired with the recently known Eggy, and I have to sigh with emotion - the girls in Europe and the United States have grown really...

    Perhaps all the writers of "heroes" must eventually go the road of "anti-heroes" in order to complete the cycle of sublation. The perfectly restored version of the archive restores the majestic and exquisite western landscape, and breaks through the too simple and crude binary opposition of the old western in terms of content and theme, and introduces the suspicion of white and Indian revenge. And reflection, the space for pondering and contemplation becomes wide open in an...

    Ford's worldview does not recognize Indians at all, pure old...

    Race, revenge, family, marriage, women, searching in the sand, making noises in the rocks, all in one go, there are many laughs, it's very beautiful. In the last scene, Martin, Paulie, Debbie walked into the house in groups, isolated Ethan from the door, and then the door closed, alas, I was very moved. But Debbie, I was wondering if a little white girl could be assimilated after 5...

    The greatness of a director needs to be understood by an expert. Maybe because of the story itself, I felt a little boring. It can be imagined that this is definitely the best Western movie ever, so it seems that Westerns are not my thing....

    This piece seems to be tainted with the loss, anxiety and paranoia of Film Noir. Debbie is another form of Femme Fatale, tinged with the same ethnicity as the usual Russian beauties at Film Noir. The desert sun devours the minds of the characters like mercury lamps. This is also what Leone...
