    group play. Start at home and end at home. The vistas outline the atmosphere of the landscape. The composition rules, prefer close-up, rarely close-up. So are Indians evil...

    In addition to the love-hate feud in the history of American westward travel, the endless entanglement of immigrants and indigenous people, and the bloody massacre...

    Before "racism" and "sexism" became "ism," American spirit was built with shameless male ego/narcissism and pretentious barbarism. Maybe it still is. Western is an outdated genre that should die, and die...

    No matter how classic it is, I don't think it's very good-looking. It's not good enough, and it's more muddled. It's far worse than Thunderbolt. The harvest is to find that John Wayne and Stranskarsgard really look...

    9.5, the door frame composition is definitely one of the top ten shots in my film history. The first time I saw it, my hair stood up, it was awesome. Although John Ford still has a white conservative perspective in essence, his reflection on the relationship between racism and civilized savagery is far superior to other Western films. Even the heroine Debbie actually actively integrates into the life of the Indians. John Wayne in John Ford's movies will never be the hero we imagined in our...
