Fort Apache

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 over the picture is not comparable to that of ordinary directors, and he is called the godfather of Western films. His pictures are always concise and powerful, and this simplicity comes from...

Ford's Eclecticism

Xiulan Dengbo pretends to be a dignified lady, savage and cute. At the end of World War II, Ford entrained private goods to create a three-dimensional and plump conservative patriarchal image. The proportions were disproportionate, the family drama was too heavy, and the last 20 minutes of the battle scene came too late. As the American commander, Fonda sat on a chair to negotiate with the Indians, and Ford used this to cleverly hint at his moral balance; at the
end, he used Wayne's mouth...

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 perspective on the civilized, domesticated West, white characters are bound to insist they have an innate right to liberty and property. The vast tract...

No spirit, no spirit

Westerns are near extinction these days, and I've always thought people were tired of the half-action, half-drama genre, and John Ford's Fortress seemed to prove my point. But I think more, it is the passing of the spirit of the West.
This film is very down-to-earth, and shows various characters in a serious and dramatic way. Henry Fonda represents the European-style aristocracy, who is interested in class and power, John Wayne is an American hero, and soldiers Mixing up with the natives,...

The cast and director lineup is strong, but the whole film is like a running account, neither fun nor funny, love is flat and there is almost no...

No one has made a Western as big as John Ford, and no one has shown so much humanity in a Western like that. The plot is not so important, what matters is how Ford shows all kinds of vivid people in each scene, showing the chivalrous tenderness that belongs to his...

The mise-en-scene is comfortable, and the scenes where some events are done in a puff of dust are very good. It's a bit "talking" indeed. The carriage overturned, and the bridge section of the telegraph line next to it, I don't know if "Five Golden Flowers" was affected from...

1. Hear Foster's "Beautiful Dream God" and "Lovely Family", so familiar and kind! 2. Surprisingly found that the heroine is Xiulan Temple! At the age of 20, she is no longer the cute little angel she was when she was a few years old, but her eyes are still bright and clear, and her smile is still pure and...

John Ford, 1948. It was a bit confusing and unclear, and the real battle was only a few minutes...
