John Ford's "The Searcher," based on Ellen LeMay's 1954 novel, embodies a key change in a story's transition from book to screen, and most adaptations will be based on the original. The story makes some adjustments, and the meaning of this adjustment to the overall storyline is to have an impact on the entire story narrative. In the novel, Lison (John Wayne), a soldier who participated in the American Civil War, returned home after the war and found that his family was tragically killed by the Indians, while his niece Debbie (Villa Mills) died. Uncertain. Sen decides to take revenge and find out the whereabouts of his niece. Only when she found Debbie a few years later, she was unwilling to return home with Lison, and even blamed Lison for coming too late, and everything was irreversible. Lisson was disheartened, but Martin (Jeffrey Hunter), who was with him, did not give up searching for the whereabouts of the Indians, and went to the forbidden places of the Indians alone... Although the crazy slaughter of the protagonist in the film is not commendable, but If you want to be among incompatible nations, it is also forbearance.
