Best Western Movie Ever Made
Ethan Edwards, returns to his brother's house in Texas, after a long absence
( during which he was a Confederate soldier ). Shortly after his family is massacred by Comanches, save his two nieces which were taken by the Indians. Ethan, along with Martin Pawley ( his brother's adopted son ) goes after the girls ( one of whom is later found dead ) and it becomes uneasy as we wonder if Ethan will take his niece back home or kill her because she's on of "them" whenever he finds her. Great character study gives the world John Wayne's best screen performance, and another top notch film from Ford. The film does at times look like an epic which only enhances its brilliance. Beautifully photographed at Monument Valley ( as is about nearly every Ford western ) and filled with tension, dark humor, and great determination. Rating 10 out 10.. kveenss watch The Thing movie
good.
mike52 watch Gwoemul movie
Mr Holland's Opus. Probably one of the finest films Richard Dreyfus has ever acted in. Glenn Holland, a frustrated composer, is dragged kicking and screaming into a teaching job to supplement his composing. Yet, what he discovers is that not only are his students' lives influenced by his decision but, more importantly, his own. There have been numerous 'coming of age' films - this is a 'coming of ages' film. The musical score (Michael Kamen) is brilliant, but the orchestral finale will have you crying like a baby. .

Dark Reflections on the Golden West
After serving in the US Civil War, Confederate soldier John Wayne (as
Ethan Edwards) arrives at the Texas home of his only living relatives. Unfortunately for the family of his brother, Mr. Wayne brings monumental trouble. He mysteriously produces newly-minted coins and clashes with adopted nephew Jeffrey Hunter (as Martin "Marty" Pawley). Wayne considers the handsome youth a "half-breed" due to Mr. Hunter being one-eighth Cherokee. Still, he takes Hunter out to investigate a Comanche rustling incident. This turns out to be a wild goose chase... Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the Native American Indians slaughter, scalp, and likely rape the absent men's family. Apparently, only the ten-year "Debbie" survives, to be raised as a Comanche squaw... A good impression is made by chief Henry Brandon (as Scar) and Antonio Moreno (a star from the 1920s) has his final featured role. Wayne, with Hunter close at hand, spends the rest of the film seeking revenge, and Wayne wants the return of his little niece before her virtue is compromised. Watching "The Searchers" look for the Comanche Indians is an ordinary, but well-photographed, story - but watching John Ford and John Wayne search for the American West through their racist hero's eyes is something else entirely. The comic "touches" are a little too much to take - possibly, "blanket head" Hunter and Vera Miles are supposed to be young teenagers. But, when you look at the film as Americana, and in context with Ford's work, you have something exemplary. Ford and Wayne don't find "Debbie" or Mr. Brandon's "Scar" as much as they find a lens, and we see their reflections. ******** The Searchers (3/13/56) John Ford ~ John Wayne, Jeffrey Hunter, Vera Miles, Henry Brandon. |
