John Wayne Birthplace Museum [ Walk Thru ]

[@dianetbailey9185]

John Wayne just made the screen come alive. There will never be another. The best actor there will ever be for a Western. ♥️🇺🇸

[@banana_pie_101]

He always did have the "larger than life" presence on screen!

Thank you❤

Grande attore mio idolo eccelso direi che pochi si sono avvicinati alla sua bravura e comunque mai eguagliato un mito e una leggenda che rimarrà sempre nel cuore ❤

[@Charles53412]

John being an avid deer hunter, would often visit a friend's cattle ranch ( Fred Case ) in West-Central Texas to hunt deer and buy beef from him. My mother in law was a cook and care taker for Fred Case's mother in her later years, and would she and Fred would tell us stories and show us pictures of John's visits to the ranch. Which I always thought was pretty cool !

Great job. I remember when I was a kid in Brazil, I'd stay up at night watching John Wayne's movies every time the TV showed them. He was really an awesome actor.

[@banana_pie_101]

Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Aaw that's such a nice memory you have!

John Wayne is my favorite actor in western

[@banana_pie_101]

I'd have to say, I'm inclined to agree with you, he's my favorite as well!

[@Thecorgially]

My favorite John Wayne movie was with Maureen O'Hara, The Quiet Man. So glad that was mentioned in this vlog. I actually was in the village of Cong where the movie was filmed.

[@banana_pie_101]

You know, I've never actually seen the Quiet Man, but that movie keeps popping up everywhere so much so that I'm actually getting curious about it lol. (I grew up with his westerns and military movies) I guess I'll absolutely have to watch it now! We're you really?! That is so cool! Did you take a special trip to that town then other places, or did you take a special trip to Ireland and detoured to Cong?

[@Thecorgially]

@@banana_pie_101 No not a special trip, it was part of my planned trip to Ireland

[@TD402dd]

Although there are several Wayne movies with O'Hara, my favorite of all was Cowboys. When those boys brought the large heard to the trailhead it sent chills down my back. Wayne was a good man in this movie and not a superhero, and I think that was his choice.

[@banana_pie_101]

That was a good movie!

Comments here of favorite John Wayne movies, but I can tell you John Wayne's favorite JW movie. He invited me aboard his yacht "Wild Goose" where I stood face too face with Ben Johnson leaning on fancy wooden carved bar in rear stateroom. When I was getting ready too leave, JW asked, aren't you going to ask me? Ask you what? Laughing he said, everyone wants too know my favorite movie? It's "Searchers"! I really appreciated you coming by! We talked boating oceans wildlife, scuba, an much more but you never mentioned movies, not once!

Do we have a clue what kind of small handguns Wayne actually carried in real life ? Or what firearms he used in films that were actually owned by him personally ?

I believe his favorite type of gun was the Colt Single Action Army revolvers. If I remember right he owned a lot through his career, but used his personal favorite in. "The Cowboys", "True Grit", and "Rooster Cogburn". He even had it altered to accommodate his large hands.

Um, yes. He was still popular even in my high-school amongst the film class students and film club people. And that was only like 2 years ago.

[@Hotsk]

@@banana_pie_101 Thanks for the kind reply! If I understand correctly, in your case you were in a class specifically studying his films, among others. However, if I were to go to your school and ask a few of your classmates randomly, would they too know who John Wayne is?

[@banana_pie_101]

Hmm, a couple might actually know who he was, but I think his name would be familiar to most, even if they only knew his name and didn't know why or where they heard it. Like Walter konkrite? I know the name, but I have no idea why/how I know it. I think you will find there are more young people connected to the past, than many older people might realize, and vice versa. : ))

[@conniecrawford5231]

If you get younger people who love and watch classic movies, they know John Wayne-also, Orange GCounty Airport outside LAX is known as John Wayne Airport-great airport to fly into!

[@jimg5703]

That is a real dissappointment in that you have all that loud music and really didn't show or explain anything!

[@banana_pie_101]

I'm sorry the music was too loud, I'm not an audio mixing expert, but I have gotten better : ) This is a walk thru, not a documentary. My Walk thrus simply show and (now) tell what is there. In my video, every item in the museum was shown, except the gift shop. Each item gets 5 or more seconds screen time, before moving onto the next item. The pictures and videos are even in order of how you would see them if you were the one walking through the museum. I'm sorry this didn't live up to expectations, but luckily John Wayne was extremely popular, so if you search for John Wayne Documentaries in Google or KZbin I'm sure you'll find something more useful : )

[@travis8665]

Learn how to use a camera next time and get someone to edit it. Thanks anyway.

[@banana_pie_101]

Wow, I realize the beginning footage was quite shaky, but it did even out tremendously at the actual information bit. If I had the money to hire someone to help teach me editing, I would. But the only way I can improve is by learning from my mistakes and failures, and this is the best video in all categories that I have ever put out on my channel. Just look at my Earnest Warther walk thru, it was really not great at all lol. In fact it was horribly done. Anyway, I have improved the quality of my Walk Thrus with every upload, and I intend to keep doing so. But thank you for your input, and I hope you enjoyed at least a little bit of it, even through my beginner gimble walking skills. : )

[@djsavagetv]

It’s not fair to portray him as a veteran if he never actually served in the armed forces. Yes he played those roles, but he’s not a veteran and shouldn’t be remembered as one.

[@banana_pie_101]

Agreed. The museum said a couple of times that he never served and the uniforms were only his costumes. I think people just assume he served since he did so many military movies, and the military branches loved Wayne, because he was one of the best "recruiters" they had with the movies that he did.

[@williamphillips6049]

Just enjoy his westerns, avoid his war films, and try to forget he dodged the draft.

[@jessquinn6106]

Also known as the Museum of Racism.

[@banana_pie_101]

Are you saying that because of the interview comment he made in 1971????

[@jessquinn6106]

@@banana_pie_101 I am saying what I am saying because of the many actors and actresses that have opened up (Including his own son) about how he talked about and treated people.

[@banana_pie_101]

The actors and actresses that didn't like Wayne were usually one who were democratic. Like Katherine Hepburn couldn't stand him because of his thoughts on subjects, but we also know she was left wing and Wayne was right wing, kirk Douglas and Wayne fought verbally all the time on set, but kirk respected Wayne for his views and vice versa. The guy who was in Easy Rider was intimidated by Wayne, but he was in a very controversial and left wing film. John Wayne had a clear cut mind as too what was right and what was wrong, and often had gotten into POLITICAL arguments. From what I gatherered, people either loved him, hated him, or were indifferent like everyone else. It also seems that John Wayne did respect people even though he may have disapproved of their views, and even wanted to know why they thought what they thought. Although, not always in a calm manner. To which son do you refer to? Ethan defended his father, even denying he was ever racist. Michael died in 2003 and he loved and admired his dad. He even created John wayne enterprises and was extremely careful with his fathers image and name. Patrick also defended JW saying how he thought it was wrong that people judge him from one interview, and said that every year ppl try and smear his dad, and how angry it made him to have people try and paint as a rotten, hypocritical good for nothing. Even John Wayne's daughter's defended him. Marisa praises her father through out her book, but also said there was a dark side and that was about jealousy when another actor set eyes onto his wife Pilar. She said JW treated ppl well and respected ppl. Mary died in 2000, and lived a very private life, not much is known about her. Melinda has very fond memories of her father and says he was a normal father who taught her ideals and character. Aissa also defended her father, saying he loved people, and very much cared about fellow human beings. She said that was the most endearing quality about him. Perhaps you are talking about his prolific use of swear words in private? He was quite the potty mouth.

[@banana_pie_101]

So really, I am not seeing where he treated people horribly came from other than the people who couldn't stand him for his views and just didnt get along with JW.. Perhaps you could enlighten me specifically as to which parties expressed this?

[@josuelaurentino9374]

Neste museu do jonh Wayne parece que só entra dois tipos de pessoas , racistas como era o próprio e otários , porque negro de honra e não racistas nem passa em frente . Tá dado o recado .

[@banana_pie_101]

I almost dare not mention it, but if you are judging "the 2 types" from my video entirely, your data will be severely skewed. I visited this site during the pandemic in 2020, literally the staff and my dad and myself were the only ones there. Even if this video was not the only video or article you've seen to draw that conclusion, how incredibly bold and insulting for you to assume that my father and I, or any other persons who enter the building are either of those things. And also, may I say, how astonishing it is for you to assume that if blacks and non-racists happen to have an interest for John Wayne, they are automatically dishonorable and racist. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Is it not true, that racists make many assumptions and jump to conclusions based upon imcomplete, skewed, and/or irrational emotional thought? Which in fact, is what you have just accomplished with your comment, "...it seems that only two types of people enter, racists... and suckers, because blacks of honor and not racists don't even pass by." to a very similar degree. That statement relies upon the second clause being true in order for the first clause to also be true. The only thing validating that claim is itself. As is seen with your interesting choice of wording, "...it seems...". This is an open thought, with room for doubt as to what you are deciding to think. However, you immediately contradict yourself with a very concrete, "...because blacks of honor and not racists don't even pass by." The words, "because" and "don't even" come immediately to mind. 'Because' is defined by Mirriam-Webster Dictionary as, "For the reason that: since" and "the fact that: that". Thus showcasing the second clause to be the finite and conrecete thought which leaves no room for doubt or a change of mind. Your words, "don't even" are also of a concrete thought process. For the plain reason, the words in its simplest forms reads "do not even" which also leaves no room for negotiations. Therefore, your use of "...it seems..." is negated and your mind being open for other explanations is closed. The exact thing you have accused the thousands who have entered the JWB Museum of. Also, what message is given? That every person who "enters" are suckers and racists? If that is the case, does that not mean by clicking and opening this video, people have "entered" the museum? My video shows everything that was at the museum, thereby effectively giving you the approximate expierence you would have had, if you were to visit in person. Even walking by on the street at the very beginning. So YOU dear person on KZbin have passed by and entered the John Wayne Birthplace Museum. I am curious as to which category you would put yourself under? Racist? Sucker? Or Dishonorable blacks? I hope you have a wonderful day! 🥰🙏🙏

[@kenhoyer8601]

Draft dodger

[@davidd1395]

What does Wayne and trump have in common? They both play tough guys but they’re both draft dodgers.

[@banana_pie_101]

That could be said about a lot of people, I'm sure the 500,000 who avoided the draft of ww2 were trying to seem tough but were really cowards. And the near 300,000 draft dodgers of the Vietnam War were equally hypocritical. John Wayne made mistakes. And he contraindicated himself multiple times. You probably knew that your parents or guardian said one thing and did the opposite and fell short in a lot of areas. And if you have kids, they know the exact same thing about you. Don't ask for grace when you can't give grace.
