Movie Reviews of The Searchers [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: The greatest western ever filmed!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first viewed The Searchers as a film major in college. In the last twenty years I have seen this film at least forty times. "How can you watch the same movie over and over" my wife always ask. My reply is simple...this is the greatest western ever made.What makes it so great is of course John Ford's direction and his signature as an auteur. His economy of frame space, the majesty of Monument Valley and the internal struggle of a man's racism and his inability to become a viable member of the Ford definition of family.
The family is a centerpiece in many of Ford's films. The Grapes of Wrath and How Green is My Valley are two that come to mind. The Joabs and the Morgans struggled as a family. Although the struggle in The Searchers is for Ethan to find his daughter (I know it says his niece, but take it from someone who has seen this film as many times as I have--she's his daughter...I can prove it, write me). This is a portrait of a dysfunctional Ford family.
I urge everyone to read this movie. Yes, I said read. One of the first lessons in film school is that we do not watch a film, we read it. You must remember that time and space of any film only exists as the film is being projected. Every piece of furniture, every prop is all in the frame for a reason--placed there by the director to add to the untold story and to the characters' personality. Look beyond the dialogue; look at that picture on the wall; look at the custumes that the characters are wearing-- then ask yourself why are they here and what are they trying to tell me. When you do this, you have graduated from watching a film to reading a film.
