The Search for Humanity "The Searcher"
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.

Backlighting photography from indoors to outdoors, standing behind my sister-in-law at the door, the camera slowly rolled out until the male protagonist appeared in the field of vision. end. With the same composition and contrast between light and dark, everyone returned safely. The hero stood at the door, turned around, and the door gradually closed for the movie curtain call. John Ford subconsciously compared the movie screen to a door, and we, the audience, look at the wilderness and occupy civilization through the border of this door.
