One of John Wayne's best films, the director not only presents the vast desert scenery and adventurous spirit that advertises the vast expanse of western movies, but also made a deep depiction of the face of inter-ethnic conflict at that time.
This film is hailed as the best film in the history of Western films. In the film, he created the most complex, critical and profound sketches of the Western and Western heroes. In the film, the protagonist retrieves his niece who was snatched by the Indians, but now he must accept the reality that she has become an Indian woman. This film has irreplaceable influence in the minds of Hollywood filmmakers, including George Lucas’s "Star Wars", Steven Spielberg’s "Third Kind of Contact", Martin Scorsese’s "Taxi Driver" and other films directly refer to or quote the content of "The Searchers".
It was the 1956 "The Searchers" that made the westerns really come out of the mortar and gave them modern meaning. The film changed the black-and-white antagonism between Indians and whites in western films, and began to regard Indians as a nation that can live in harmony with white society and communicate and dialogue.
Ford and Wayne partner another classic Western. The film has a simple structure, but has a mysterious charm. The protagonist played by Wayne is not a white hero of a traditional Western movie, but a tramp with many problems. The film once again questioned the traditional antagonistic relationship between American whites and Indians, which is an amazing breakthrough for the 60-year-old western film. Ford carefully crafted a typical revenge story, made a deep thinking about racism and blind hatred, and captured the emotions of a country with an absurd past and an uncertain future, so the film became a leap Time and space mean far-reaching modern fables. Moreover, the film brought John Wayne's performance to its peak, and the excellent visual effects of the film have also become a model for the younger generations, especially the film shootout, which can be said to be the best scene of all westerns.
