The Searchers (1956) - Let's Go Home, Debbie Scene (9/10) | Movieclips

[@tmrezzek5728]

John Ford showing his low-key genius in this scene. The shot of Wayne lifting up Natalie Wood was not in the script--the script had Ethan putting his gun next to Debbie's temple and getting ready to pull the trigger, when he suddenly stops, says "You sure resemble your mother," and puts his gun away. Ford tossed that out and came up with the simple gesture of Ethan lifting Debbie--the same gesture he did to Debbie at the beginning of the film when she was a little girl--and he suddenly feels that she really IS part of his family, despite his hatred of Indians. All through his career, Ford would junk dialogue if he could get a point across with pure images.

[@finaltouchstudio_]

TM Rezzek I never really got why he decided to bring her home instead of shooting her. Because up until that point, Ethan was convinced that she was an Indian and he didn't care if she lived or died. He even tried to kill her in the previous scene when Debbie declared that she was one of them

[@smck001]

Nicolas Matteo The whole conflict for Ethan is that Debbie is obviously his daughter.

[@TheRivrPrncess]

Maybe he finally realized that Debbie was not technically wrong for defending those who kidnapped her since she had been with them so long. That defending the them did not mean she was one of them totally. She just did not want Martin, Ethan or "her people" to get hurt.

[@malafakka8530]

Great observation. I have another one that I'll do a video about in a few weeks. It will certainly answer the question why Ethan didn't kill Debbie. The answer lies not so much in the story, but in the images that were used.

[@MO123rules]

I think it was several things adding up. Martin stopping him the first time, accepting his half-Indian nephew as his heir, spending some time with the family just a few nights before, getting his anger out on the real perpetrator (scar), and then when he shouts "Debbie!" his voice is a little desperate and gentle. Maybe cause this time she is running from him. His niece, possibly daughter, is terrified of him. It all adds up to the decision to accept her.

[@ThunderWarrior01]

I watched The Searchers as a child with my dad one Sunday afternoon when it was shown on TV and didn’t watch it again until nearly five decades later and i instantly fell in love with it. It’s ‘the’ most beautifully looking movie in the western genre and that ending hits you right in the feelings harder than any other western too.

[@deckofcards87]

Agreed. Wayne's best performance too I'll argue the most beautiful sounding; the Max Steiner score is truly magnificent

[@Fourthorseman68]

[@KiCreativeStudioJP]

There is a lot of evidence that Ethan had a relationship with his brother's wife and that Debbie is quite likely Ethan's daughter. 1) the awkward number of times Ethan stares at Martha from a distance. 2) the scene were Martha holds and affectionately caresses Ethan's jacket when he is getting ready to ride off --- and the Rev./ Capt. Clayton deliberately pretends not to see it....and continues deliberately not look when Ethan kisses Martha goodbye tenderly on the head. 3) As Ethan rides off , we watch a long take of Martha and Debbie watching Ethan ride away. The shot implies heavily there is a connection between all of them. No shot of Ethan's brother. 4) When Ethan returns to the burning homestead the first person he calls out for continually is Martha....not his brother. 6) the final shot of Ethan walking away confirms that his relationship is one that can never be. Why else would he walk away so lonely after making all that effort to rescue her? Obviously there is some deterrent in that relationship, and it's not because she was living with Comanches.

[@tarrek]

Well, I think it's the fact that he whacks Martin aside so that he can go and kill her and then changes his mind less than ten seconds later that somehow removes any humanity for me. And then of course we get Debbie swooning in his arms when five minutes ago she was pleading to be left alone with 'her people'. But don't let me ruin it for you.

LET'S GO HOME DEBBIE, ONE OF THE MOST TOUCHABLE AND MOST DRAMATIC SCENE IN THE HISTORY OF CINEMATOGRAPHY!!!

[@jordanjoestar-turniptruck]

I don't care if she's his daughter or not, and I don't feel like that is particularly relevant. That moment calling back to a seemingly inconsequential moment at the start of the film brought a tear to my eye. She's his family either way, and still the little girl he thought he lost. Ethan is still a broken and hateful man, but this little moment is a glimmer of hope, that there's at least a little room for redemption, and that as strong as his hate is, his love is stronger.

497 latinovic Ethan and Scar were both consumed by hatred for the same reason. Scar literally tells them his sons were killed.

[@KeyserSoze1234]

@Hammerschlägen M KZbinrs don't even know this movie

[@Icecreamforcrowtoo]

Something that's shown here that no one ever seems to comment on was Martin's inability to actually "rescue" Debbie. (in quotes because she's not really being held captive at this point and accepts her new family). Although Martin kills Scar and Debbie says she wants to go with him (something that should have been left out, frankly), it's clear in this scene that Debbie has separated herself from Martin for one reason or another. It's possible that due to all the chaos happening in this scene that this just happened but I think what's more likely is that Debbie was running away from Martin back to her Indian family again. The shot implies quite a bit of distance between Martin and Debbie before Ethan catches sight of her after exiting Scar's tent. Debbie knows Martin as a nice, sweet brother who wouldn't harm her. So rebelling against him is low-risk. Whereas she quite legitimately fears Ethan. And it was this fear of him once he cornered her and told her "let's go home" that was enough to subdue any urge or temptation to fight against any "rescue" and stay with her Indian family. At the end of the day, only a fiercely violent man like Ethan could have "saved" her and brought her back to civilization.

[@kenhernandez8128]

No

[@12classics39]

I disagree. Martin undoubtedly led Debbie out of the tent and out into the fray offscreen. Perhaps he told her to hide somewhere while he helped get rid of enemies in their path so he could get her out. Then she emerged from hiding to get closer to him, but in the process, saw Ethan and ran from him. Martin is right where Ethan is - he immediately approaches him to stop him. The moment between Ethan and Debbie is notable for Ethan’s character arc, and Debbie’s realization that her uncle (possible father) does still harbor some affection for her and can’t go through with hurting her. This doesn’t take away from the fact that she does want to escape with Martin. She only really said “these are my people” because trauma has forced her to block out her memories of her past life, or at least convince herself that Martin and her other family no longer loved her and would never come for her. So when Martin does arrive and reveal he does still love her, it throws her entire world off balance and she doesn’t know how to react, especially since she doesn’t want Martin to get hurt. Ethan choosing not to kill her and instead accepting her again is the final debunk of her previous assumption that her family from so long ago didn’t love her anymore.

[@Icecreamforcrowtoo]

@@12classics39 Yeah, I don't even think I agree with what I wrote there anymore.

[@tarrek]

Nope. She had already told Martin she wanted to go with him (even though inexplicably she'd told him she wanted to stay with her people in a previous scene). Then Martin is prevented from continuing with his rescue because Ethan knocks him out of the way with his horse intent on killing her. And then inexplicably changes his mind literally 10 seconds later and decides to rescue her instead. It's almost as though Wayne is saying: I'm the star - outta my way boy!

They did quit. They found her with Scar and inexplicably gave up when the Indians chased them away. They travelled back home to the wedding without her. Ethan wanted to kill her - but was too afraid of the Indians. And Martin wanted to rescue her, but couldn't be bothered until later in the film when he waltzes into a teepee without anyone spotting him.

Isn't there a scene in this movie with 2 teen girls who have been captured by the Comanches and have gone mad? Can anyone please help me recall any info about this scene?

[@Centinelastrings]

There are some recurring plot threads in the searchers some subtle and others overt. The subtle comprises Ethan's past, both his knowledge and hatred of the Comanche Indians and Ethan's relationship to his brother’s wife, Matha. Ethan and Martha share an unspoken love for each other and it is left to the audience to imagine why. This unrealized love thread is echoed in the movie between Martin and Laurie. Like Marty leaving to search for his sister, Ethan may have left for the war and so Martha married Ethan's brother. Ethan and Marty search for Debbie for years and the longer it takes the more Ethan would rather see Debbie dead than see her turn into a Comanche. Ethan's hatred of what the Comanche did to his family is seen throughout the movie. After Ethan's brother's homestead was attack by a Comanche murder party, Ethan is consumed with hatred of the Comanche Indian chief, Scar, for killing his brother and his brother's wife, Martha, and two of their children. Ethan and Martin catch up to Scar and his tribe and see Debbie as a Comanche squaw. Martin stops Ethan from killing Debbie but Ethan is injured during an attack and Martin takes Ethan home and has to leave Debbie with Scar. Martin and Ethan have a second chance. Martin rescues Debbie and Ethan and the Texas Rangers attack the Comanche camp. Ethan finds Scar dead in his Tepee and scalps him. But scalping Scar's dead corpse was a catharsis that helped Ethan let go of his loss and pain that manifested as hatred. Ethan comes full circle at the end, as he rides after Debbie and catches her in a cave. He lifted Debbie above his head just like he did when she was a little girl at the beginning of the movie and saw her as his niece instead of a woman indoctrinated into a Comanche way of life. He holds her in his arms and says let's go home Debbie. At the end Marty is the hero for rescuing Debbie and Ethan is a man damaged and consumed by many years of war with the north and a war with the Indians. He redeemed himself at the end but with the loss of his family and arguably his soul, he has no ties to his Texas home anymore.

The one where John Wayne, after 25 years of trying, *finally* stopped playing John Wayne.🤠

The whitest "Indian buck" in history...

Because she’s not “Indian.” She’s a white girl who was kidnapped by Comaches.

I feel that the power of the old west still held people's minds captive in 1956 about how difficult it was to settle the west...when this movie was made. For John Wayne's hatred and aggression played out onscreen was something he was acting out on screen for white people to agree with....there was loss, death and destruction during these times...people could still feel that...try to make that movie today and it would never get off the ground into actual production. John Wayne represented the pinnacle of white supremist bigotry and racism during his career and white America was with him. The sad part about all this was that native peoples and all the different Tribes that were wiped out or destroyed for America to exist were in John Wayne's own words ' meant to be cleared of the land to make room for white people, who needed somewhere to live also. ' As here in Canada the discovery of mass graves of native children at the foundations of residential schools a few years ago has shown....it was a genocide full on and without any excuses to the contrary. And what.....we all just move on ? I don't think so....without showing these indigenous people that we know it was wrong by taking some sort of action to rectify the past....we all just live by default in 1956. Shame on all of us...
