A True Masterpiece of American Cinema

I love this film more than any other. My dad made me sit and watch it. It resonated with me more than I can express.

Dude how is it possible only 173 people liked this? I watched this masterpiece like a 100 times! Who's watching this in 2024?

am i the only one that noticed the flaw of the eagle it belongs on the sleeve but is on breast? in 2:23

After almost 5 years you’re back

Lame

your intro music sucks

Ethan, as with Comanche he shot the eyes out of his head, doomed to ride the winds which will keep him forever outside of civilization and Heaven.

Lucas destroyed the film industry, with digital. He singerly removed everyone from film labs to projectionist jobs and more.

Super !

What about Debbie’s children? I guess they weren’t ready for all that.

The last few seconds background of a film camera motor/shutters is so soothing to hear

"With the camera" Legendary!

First-time viewer: thanks, you GOT me. An excellent analysis, and really deepens the movie for me: your words help reinforce what Ford's brilliant imagery put in my mind and emotions, especially Ethan walking OUT at the end. NICE. On of my favorite Hollywood scenes is in this movie: not only is it amazing ensemble acting, and YOU try keeping everybody lit and in focus!!!, but it shows how Ward Bond really IS an American Treasure, and that he was as much a Force of Nature as !!!BRIAN BLESSED WAS!!!

One of the greatest western movie ever! I loved this movie and every time I watched, it’s getting better and better every time!

Nice. Sharing with peeps. If I may be so bold, Ethan’s madness is predicated by the civil war. Having seen horrors unimaginable as a soldier, he returns to the family fold only to have the horrors pursue him there. That is the meaning of scene 1. That is what drives him mad. Also, the Indians are not taking the road less traveled for cinematic effect but to stay out of rifle shot. Finally, “won the battle but not the war” is not applicable to the man.All he does is fight battles. He is a Paladin.

Also in scene 1: At the end, he flings the buckskin cover off his rifle, like a warrior drawing his sword and casting away the scabbard, signifying a fight to the finish.

Very well done review. The book "The Searchers" goes into much greater detail about Ford and Wayne. Ford's Navahos, which played Commanche, Apache, whatever he needed in a film, prospered greatly from his repeated movies made there in Monument Valley.

The more I find out about this film, the greater it seems. I've read the book by Alan Le May and would highly recommend it. John Fords adaptation is, well words are not good enough. My only regret is that I've never seen it on a cinema screen. Would look great.

The most enemy of every soldiers is theirs conscience...

When I hear the song " What makes a man to wonder " I think if my Dad and I watching this when i was young , I'm 70 now and my Dad died a long time ago , but i still tear up . I usually watch this every year.

I like both of them. For film: the naturalistic look and feel. For digital: cheap and easy

The neighbor was so sweet. We met her 2 weeks ago when we were there. We signed her guestbook.

If film and equipment had been affordable for everyone, digital would never had happened. But they do that shit on purpose to keep off of the hands of the masses. They did it with printing, radio, and television. They are so afraid of the people having the power to communicate on a massive scale like the elite do.

*Why did John Ford smoke those evil plastic tipped El Cheapo TIPARILLO “cigars” made of mostly non tobacco material?*

I like Paw Patrol

It's sort of like Lord of the Rings. Frodo can't stay in the Shire, even though he saved it.

no one in the audience eats the film base... price isnt production... the vantage points taken seem to be of those less aware of the content of the frame as presented..

Ward Bond deserved an Oscar totally believeable

I guess I have to look up the address myself. thanks for a useless video

god

“Film pioneer Quentin Tarantino.” 😂

Nice

It's really odd to me to be so attached to video artifacts caused by the act of running film cells behind a lense. The advantages of digital are undeniable.

Nazis fuck off!!!

Iiiii have become comfortably numb.

“When this baby hits 88 miles per hour you’re gonna see some serious shit”! I’m not gonna lie, just listening to the main theme gives me chills how good this movie franchise is

I see an obersturmführer an not an standartenführer the collar tabs would be eichenlaub oak leaves

I don’t think you understand the historical happenings this film depicts. For example, the rage the Texans felt upon getting one captive back who had been raped, burned and had her nose cut off is what is being portrayed here in the first scene. Pure rage and anger. Hatred, for the “inhuman” acts of the Comanche.

The Searchers: huge points for cinematography, but little else-------acting, dialogue and script all mediocre----maybe most over rated movie on everybody's best list

Thanks for contributing to more anti-Vietnamese propaganda! Typical plot where the Americans are the heroes and Vietnamese people are the “bad guys.” I’d advise you to do actual research on the Vietnam war before going off and making these shorts and movies where you romanticize thousands of innocent women, children, and families deaths all while continuing to play out this toxic ass Eurocentric narrative. Watched an interview with the director and he described the Vietnam war as a “Great, great, war” and it really disgusted me as a Vietnamese American whose parents were stripped from their homes and community and every day wished that it had never happened in the first place. The director even went on to claim that he wanted to show the “passionate side of the Vietnamese and the passionate side of the Americans” when the basic plot here is: “Good American soldier tries to save Vietnamese citizen and then gets tricked and dies.” Where’s the “compassionate” Vietnamese person here? You’d really have to make the plot stretch a ton to get to a place where you could claim that you’re painting an even moderately “compassionate” Vietnamese character here. Not to mention that the director doesn’t even seem to be American OR Vietnamese? It isn’t your place to talk about the Vietnam War especially when you’re not even doing proper research on it. Try reading books and resources on the Vietnam War that’s not written only from the American POV and then *maybe* you can start claiming to capture both of the compassionate personalities of the Vietnamese and Americans. By the way, no hate to anyone who was forced to be drafted into the war by America. I’m against the concept of positioning America as a “savior” to nations that are at war when the real intent behind America’s involvement is to control whatever “side” wins and to further spread American military bases. Fuck wars, fuck romanticizing wars, and fuck America’s savior complex.

The Brit won the Knight's Cross. That was an honorable thing to do.

i thought the movie as a whole was rather uneven but the final shot is the greatest and most poignant piece of visual art ever created

11:06. The audience doesn't know who attacks first? The rangers are surrounded on 3 sides. Sorry but this 'essay' was pretty weak.

both are necessary 1-digital for easy to start as beginners to reach the chance to rise the artistic quality to be capable to attract the budget to use FILM as mother tongue the FILM Negative reels 2-Film to keep legendary quality of historical artistic soul of the motion picture as 7th ART THE CINEMA.....

wow

no offence but these characters are such cliches pals buddys

As digital has come a long way since Lucas's last 2 prequels. Though films shot or blown up in 70mm are vastly better. I saw Wonder Woman in digital and 70mm blow up . 70mm was clearly better. And going back to the 80's when big films often had 35mm and 70mm blow up prints. The 70mm prints were better. I was lucky enough to catch Indiana Jones and the last crusade in 70mm and it was spectacular. 70mm on DVD or Blu Ray aren't as noticable unless you have a high end flat panel tv. Tron on Blu Ray is a spectacular achievement when watching it on a highly rated tv, you get an idea when 70mm is capable of. I own Tron on Laserdisc in the mid 90' that was remaster from the 70mm print...it was the best Laserdisc I've ever seen.
