Howard Hawks on Making Red River | AFI Movie Club

[@slammajamma5435]

A truly classic film. A film that everyone should see.

[@Norton4577]

Genius film maker

[@charlieparker5678]

Howard Hawks sounded like Robert Stack from _Unsolved Mysteries_

[@ricardocantoral7672]

I love Red River but I hate the ending.

[@Richard-uj8mt]

Yeah it did seem out of character to end like that

[@petrfrizen6078]

Psychotic western... How is this possible? Anybody knows any examples?

[@sosodtikvica]

Yes, The Fury

@@sosodtikvica Thank You for this prompting, Tanja!

He meant psychological westerns that looks at the inner side of what fuels a cowboy, which I would expect from a guy who wanted to make entertainment more than analysis.

​@@daltonanderson3718 He said psychotic, not psychological. Red River is exactly what you described as a psychological western, so that would be a strange thing for Hawks to criticize. Based on his criticism of High Noon and The Left Handed Gun, I believe he meant westerns where the hero is emotionally disturbed or weak and it feels like they don't "belong," to cite the man.
