Review of The Searchers (1956) by Okuz A — 29 Jul 2009
Really dark if you think about the subject matter. John Wayne should've won an oscar for his racist intensity. It's full of memorable lines from him, beautiful John Ford direction w/Monument Valley filling in for west Texas, Ward Bond as the preacher/Texas Ranger Captain.
All sorts of subtleties, and unaswered questions. A real classic.
