    Good looks are full of good looks. If you think about the relationship with the aborigines, don't make trouble. The whole article doesn't portray them as human beings. If it wasn't for blood in the end, the little girl would have been killed as a...

    "The Searcher" shows the intensification of textbook-style contradictions, which is undoubtedly the film's greatest strength. The John Ford romance is clearly more captivating than the main story. "How can you be shy and blush in front of a woman?" "But I always love you, I thought you knew it without saying it."...

    Family, civilization, savagery, race, women, all elements of a heroic western have uncles and nieces, and Martin's Indian blood, it seems that the director is not racist. But the lack of descriptions about the assimilation and transformation of the little niece is inexplicable. Beautiful photography, door frame framing, opening...

    Western canon, pure and great. Confront pure nature, pure violence, pure Protestant creeds with a positive attitude that made the Old World unbelievably positive. A simple and brave Texas Republic with a gun in one hand and a Bible in the other. There is also dancing, there is humor, and there is etiquette for each other's humility before fighting. The more I understand the history of the West, the more I understand how this film becomes the epitome of the real West and the spiritual West, and...

    Ethan is a lonely and contradictory man. On the one hand, he can take revenge for his family's loneliness for many years, but on the other hand, he is out of tune with his family, and he is stubborn with others, and is unwilling to admit that Marty is an adopted nephew. Beneath the powerful exterior, he's brokenhearted, shoots the Indians, kills the herd to vent, and even tries to kill Debbie. In the end he showed his sanity and brought Debbie back, but at the end he was still alone, cut off...

    "The wind blows the yellow dust and thousands of miles of sand, and the two rides to find relatives and go to the end of the world. Race and family feud and road, where is the tenderness of the iron man." A magnificent western oil painting, a history of blood and tears of racial...

    I didn't expect it to be good. I thought of Chen Kexin's "Dear" in the process. The love story that runs through is very good, and there is a bit of comedy. It's basically the story of a lonely...

    The whole process of revenge search is also the process of the protagonist's self-seeking and cognition. John Ford re-examined and re-examined the antagonistic relationship between white Americans and Indians with an unprecedented courage, which is a milestone in the history of Western film creation. Although the protagonist has Western hero elements such as tenacity, heroism, cold appearance and hatred, he is no longer the mythical cowboy in traditional Western films, but a mixture of...
