Product Description

Product Description

Searchers, The (BD)

]]>

Amazon.com

A favorite film of some of the world's greatest filmmakers, including Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, John Ford's The Searchers has earned its place in the legacy of great American films for a variety of reasons. Perhaps most notably, it's the definitive role for John Wayne as an icon of the classic Western--the hero (or antihero) who must stand alone according to the unwritten code of the West. The story takes place in Texas in 1868; Wayne plays Ethan Edwards, a Confederate veteran who visits his brother and sister-in-law at their ranch and is horrified when they are killed by marauding Comanches. Ethan's search for a surviving niece (played by young Natalie Wood) becomes an all-consuming obsession. With the help of a family friend (Jeffrey Hunter) who is himself part Cherokee, Ethan hits the trail on a five-year quest for revenge. At the peak of his masterful talent, director Ford crafts this classic tale as an embittered examination of racism and blind hatred, provoking Wayne to give one of the best performances of his career. As with many of Ford's classic Westerns, The Searchers must contend with revisionism in its stereotypical treatment of "savage" Native Americans, and the film's visual beauty (the final shot is one of the great images in all of Western culture) is compromised by some uneven performances and stilted dialogue. Still, this is undeniably one of the greatest Westerns ever made. --Jeff Shannon

"The Searchers" - DVD - Review
5 stars for this amazing timeless classic Western movie. Action, adventure, drama, romance, comedy. Breathtaking mother Earth in all its glory....1 of the top 3 Western genre movies of all time. John Wayne's best performance, even better than his performance in "True Grit"....Great cast including John Wayne, Jeffrey Hunter, Ward Bond, Vera Miles, and young Natalie Wood. Hank Worden and Patrick Wayne provide several brief humorous moments....Monument Valley provides the breathtaking background landscape thru out "The Searchers"....Directed by legendary John Ford. Amazing scenes looking from inside the dark cabin thru the door to the bright outdoors. That theme was also repeated looking from inside the dark cave thru the opening to the bright outdoors....Highly recommend watching this movie. Western genre movies do not get any better than "The Searchers".
