The Searchers - That'll be the day

[@matthewalexanderlemma8000]

And the light in Buddy Holly's head went on.

[@irismcooper]

Matthew, you are so correct. A year later Buddy Holly wrote and performed "That'll be the Day." I used to go around the house singing, "That Will Be the Day" when I make the honor roll. LOL!!

[@trhansen3244]

That could have been from eating all that chili.

[@johnbrooks9508]

His greatest ever performance!

[@cynthiamartin2619]

One of the best movies ever made !!

[@wanlitan7406]

Pure, raw emotion from Martin.

[@shakeandjake_1]

John Wayne should've won Best Actor for this movie

[@jorgeleonidasgarciadelapaz1219]

NERFMercenary807 si pues

[@irismcooper]

Alex, he should have won. After losing the award for 'Best Actor,' he must have thought to himself, "That Will Be the Day." RIP John Wayne

[@prestonnull4009]

Totally agree

[@johnbrooks9508]

His greatest ever performance!

[@abusufian318]

True an oscar for this movie best western of all times John Wayne and john ford

[@mysticx0]

john ford created pure magic in all his movies. fucking genius..

[@abusufian318]

Best movie ever best western of all times biggest reason because of John wayne

[@irismcooper]

Memories of Cinema, thank you for sharing. I have the forever popular movie track of "The Searchers." John Wayne was excellent; Natalie Wood was wonderful in the movie. A year later in 1957, Buddy Holly wrote and sang "That Will Be the Day." I think this is very ironic.

[@johnnmoreno75]

Buddy Holly saw this movie and wrote the song that will be the day after watching John Wayne say that

[@emptyhand777]

0:01 Martin Pauley not realizing the Comanche had their outhouse on top of that mesa.

[@nathanmaltby3201]

This inspired Buddy Holly's song That'll be the Day, which inspired American Pie by Don McLean which inspired The Saga Begins by Weird Al Yankovic

[@JmoeGD]

:)

[@seaoftranquility7228]

Hahahaha

[@markdubois3614]

My Dad loved this film

[@gkgrimes]

Buddy Holly saw this movie.

[@mysticx0]

its literally where he got the line for the song, so yeah he was a fan of the movie and said so many times.

[@wobblertv8083]

Very dark character ethan Edwards. ..John Wayne's best performance he nailed it .

[@pearlbeachwave]

That'll be the day

[@taradash1]

best come back EVER

[@p47koji]

This generation has no idea of this country's history... Good and bad. It's what makes us. This is a classic - like Sands of Iwo Jima, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, Go for Broke. It's a depiction of history a la Hollywood.

[@TomasUjhelyi]

Oh yeah, Hollywood are renowned for telling the truth

[@theyakkomanguy7522]

And on that one day in 1956 in Texas, the light inside Buddy Holly's mind turned on as he would make 'That'll Be The Day'.

[@carlhursh9692]

And from that, Buddy Holly got his hit song!

[@ericlinck6664]

Such a great movie!

[@bournemouthman8055]

Greatest Western ever.

[@curlybobz]

In the begining of the movie Ethan does not like Martin because he is part indian. Now he pays him the respect of making him his sole heir, bequeathing him all of his property as though Martin is his son. In the end Martin's Indian blood is of no importance. Like Americans the men are bonded together by shared values and ideas.

[@kyokogodai-ir6hy]

Try to find a leftist that agrees with you. I'll wait *crickets*

[@johnminehan1148]

And Martin and Ethan, in the end, are separated by some.

[@johnminehan1148]

And did anyone notice that Scar is played by a blue- eyed German immigrant? Which implies that Scar is either half White (like the historical Quannah Parker) or a former captive himself, like Debbie Evans or the historical Cynthia Anne Parker. Matin Pawley, part Cherokee, is Ethan's last kin, not in captivity. Ford's subtle commentary. (And Ford was Liberal/Leftest himself.)

[@kyokogodai-ir6hy]

John Ford was a classical liberal. The Democrat Party which he belonged to is so far removed from what the Democrat Party is today, might as well call him a conservative, which he was.

[@johnminehan1148]

I think he'd consider those fighting words (not that there are any other kind for an Irishman).

[@HarryWebb46]

Big John was the spiritual twin of my dad Harry. All if my friends looked at him and came to that conclusion!

[@Fabioman3]

Pure Movie Magic!

[@PiotrKuzmicki86]

Great film!

[@kyokogodai-ir6hy]

First continuity error I have seen in this picture, having never noticed it prior. When Marty picks up the knife from the fire it is in his right hand. When the camera cuts to just Marty, it is in his left hand. Then back to his right when he throws it. Interesting.

[@ronniebishop2496]

kyokogodai Is that all you noticed about the continuity of this picture. Like where did all those Indians go that ran them in that cave.

[@rusoviettovarich9221]

@@ronniebishop2496 well that don't beat the camera swinging up at the battle at the river

[@josephcarpenter6921]

The John & John the best

[@waynecassels3607]

Well done.

"Eso está por verse" así se dice en México

[@kingdadanddaughter1666]

I died laughing at the guy running into the rock. And the part where he said "she's been living with a buck"

[@TheRivrPrncess]

Michael Scricco There was nothing at all funny about the line John Wayne spoke.

[@waykool698]

TheRivrPrncess yes it was. Funny stuff

[@mariosaldana4006]

You can hear the 45rpm "Mary Lou by The Creative Force " on utube

[@lanerovito4324]

Big bopper, Richie vallens, buddy Holly left the bus fore the Skye's yeah sad.i nevare knew them

[@lanerovito4324]

Good people's.

[@titteryenot4524]

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

[@David-mv1bf]

'she's been living with a buck!!!'

[@waykool698]

Haha such a funny line in the movie

[@daviddelpoio2992]

he says it a few times, btw

[@rustykoehler2789]

How many times did he say thatll be the day in this movie.

[@gilgamesh310]

Four I think.

[@kellykitkat40]

The movie is called "the searchers" and not "the rangers" or "the search". So, some are searching, but they may not all be seeking the same. At least he can read, wherefore the Bible, kjv, is not that far from him, as it may be for others, such as Debbie. .. when he shoots "the dead injun's" eyes out, he leaves behind a symbol of darkness, for without light, how will he find "the happy ground"? Truth is a light, by HEARING one sees.

[@gerrypamungkas]

sounds like king george vi speech

[@ronniebishop2496]

This was a great scene but John didn't believe in kissing hollywoods butt so he didn't get awards. Lol

[@kellykitkat40]

Voltaire said, I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. ... but a problem arises, aside from Voltaire's Bastards who have nothing of substance to say ... your enemy may not afford you the same courtesy. "Yyackety yak, don't tawk balk".... I think that that was a song, and not merely unofficial government policy.

[@Elite59]

She's been living with a buck?

[@kellykitkat40]

That's a very funny line .. because after you are born again.. you become, hard to kill. .. which is the title of a Steven Segal movie... A passage : Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? - John 11 : 25 - 26, kjv. Another passage : And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. Acts 14 : 19 - 20, kjv.

[@roypiper581]

Some serious over acting here. LOL.

[@taylorolson7015]

This movie is overrated, it just doesn't make sense
