More than a classic,it's one of the greatest films ever made dealing with every aspect of the human condition,love,hate,courage,determination,humour and tragedy,it's all there especially the poignant moment at the end when the door closes on Ethan ... a man alone.
@@christopherfranklin972 I learned that in the last scene as Wayne is seen through the doorway standing Wayne did a gesture rubbing his elbows in memorandum to his idol Harry Cary Senior who had passed away to by signaling to Olive Cary who was standing behind the scenes and started crying. Harry Carey had been Wayne’s mentor and idol and even appeared in Red River and The Angel and the Batman.
"the door closes on Ethan...a man alone." It's poignant all right. The quest is over, Debbie's been found and returned to her people. Now what is he to do with himself? Now he's the lost one, at least for the moment.
The finest Western of them all, and not just because of John Wayne's sincere portrayal of a complex man, but because this film depicts a combination of several tragic raid/captive narratives, right down to the scalp on the coup spear.
What a western movie it was!Argubly the finest wesern movie of all time.Great performance of John Wayne,direction of John Ford n composition of great Max Steiner.Truly masterpiece.
The new 4k restoration is a revelation! Absolutely beautiful. I hope WB restores all of John Wayne’s classic westerns in this quality. Unbelievable! Thank you WB!
The BEST Western ever made in addition to one of the best movies ever made! And "The Searchers" isn't a movie you watch, it's a movie you have to WATCH, as there's always more going on than meets the eye. I could be here all day pointing things out but if you're a "Searchers" fan you know exactly what I mean. And John Wayne should have gotten an Oscar for his role as Ethan Edwards! One of the few times he didn't play a "John Wayne" character, if you get my meaning.
I agree with everything. Except the last remark of only playing non-JW roles rarely. I'd say he does it far more often than someone would think, if you mean the clean hero as typical JW like in "Katie Elder" or "El Dorado". He often plays the loner, the outsider, the broken character etc. There's more more range in it.
Without a doubt on ALL counts. This is a classic masterpiece for the ages, for generations to come. I am grateful that such a movie has been restored and preserved in its original glory.
Mine is a tie between "Rio Bravo" and "El Dorado". But a close second would be "The Searchers", in fact I am a Duke nut and love so many of his films. He embodies an American spirit long dead by now.
@@tennesseeridgerunner5992 As we used to say in the Marines "There's no such thing as a bad John Wayne movie! Even though some are better than others!"

@@grayrecluse7496 Nah mate sorry Honda is alright but this had John Wayne properly acting genuinely feel searchers was his best film as far as him acting. Pero this is my opinion only
John Wayne's Ethan Edwards was some of the greatest acting of the 20th century. Many critics and fans agree, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Peter Bogdanovich... In one if the greatest movies of all time.
@@antoniocancado8233That one is very good but nothing to me is better than The Searchers it’s unarguably Wayne’s best film and one of the best movies ever made period

I was amazed to read that Texas Rangers often carried up to 8 pistols, a rifle and a large Bowie or butcher knife. You sure would need suspenders to hold those guns and your trousers up.
Many of the large revolvers were carried in holsters on the saddle ,term for that is " saddle guns " . Colt sold the Walker in pairs ,and same with Colt Dragon and so ,many bought Army Colt in pairs also afterwards
@@MrPh30 Thanks i never knew that. Makes sense to have 10 rounds instead of 5 and then reload under fire. Did they load the older colts with only 5 or the full 6? and did they really have loaded cylinders and just exchange them. All under stress of attack, very scary.
@@robshirewood5060 I think it would depend on situation, 5 usually , but if needed they loaded 6 there and then. Later models one could have loose cylinders for . But when the Smith&Wesson came with the break top , it really set the stage for a versatile cavalry revolver . From .22 and up , The Russian Model , American and Schofield model .
@japhfo that's a fairly accurate portrayal of the Ranger of the time..rough, shsdy men, many of them having killed at least one individual..that was c a desired trait...the archetypal "rough men who stand ready in the night to visit violence on thise who woukd harm us..the Rangers didn't become the Profesional force we knew today until well into the 20th century
Yeah, Ethan's Henry morphed into an 1892 - probably because there were no blanks for the Henry and everyone had an 1873 SAA despite this being set just a few years after the Civil War. 99% of the audience didn't know or care. I know and I still don't care. This was the best Western ever screened.
Ce n'est pas non plus un film de référence sur la destruction des indiens de leur territoire ....ce qui fait que les détails c'est vrai on peut s'en fiche
Ethan's "Henry" was most likely an 1892 Winchester modified to look like a Henry. Real Henrys fired a rimfire .44 cartridge, none were available anymore by the 1950s and certainly no blanks. 1892 Winchesters were versatile, easily available, and very easy for actors and extras to learn how to use in addition to having the right look for Westerns. And they could use the same "5 in 1" blanks most other Hollywood guns used.
Note that Mose was firing a 1846 Jenks breechloading percussion Carbine. A shame they didn't film him loading it! Those are rare as hen's teeth today. Lucky to have an original myself.
Absolute classic. As a Brit I salute the early days of the USA while respecting the native American struggle. Sound effects such as the sound of black powder firearms add to the film's enjoyment
I always wonder how many viewers know the opening musical themes first, "Lorena," a very popular CW song, and second, "Bonny Blue," the anthem of the CSA.
I wonder if this is from the new restoration. I'll be seeing the new 70mm print this weekend! Really hope it gets a new 4K release soon, or at least a Blu-ray with the new remaster, maybe even from the great WAC!
@@paulhicks6667Right? I don’t see how anybody can say he is a bad actor but to be fair he did pretty much play the same roles in all his movies without much versatility. Still for me I’d say he is my favorite actor
Yeah, Wayne had a successful acting career that span generations and made him a wealthy man. And you’ll be asking people if they want fries with that for the rest of your life.
How the hell did they manage to get so far ahead going into the river? The natives were closing and almost on their a$$ in the shot just before then! I guess they had plot armor even back in those days.
Come on, didn't you see that isolated mud puddle that jumped out and ambushed the Indians? Although, yeah, even by that point they had opened up quite the lead.
Duke tosses Bond his pistol. 'Watch it it's loaded." then Bond tucks his into his belt and promptly misfires the pistol Duke threw him. 5;06-7. A misfire Ford left into the film.
@@TarpeianRock Of course it's just a movie but one thing they got right was the Indian way of fighting. It was the Indian's belief, and a right one in thier case, that a victory purchased at a high cost in warriors was no victory at all. It took 18 years to make a warrior and a tribe only had so many. Therefore war chief would only commit to an all-out attack IF he was very confident of victory and with a low cost to the tribe. In the film we see Scar break off the attack when he realizes he's losing too many men and the cost of victory's not worth it. Absolutely correct.
Only gun experts would know and laugh if it's true that the 19th century pistols only had a short range as shown by Sergio Leone's scene in For A Few Dollars More and another movie I can't think of right now. If that is true then the bullets would have hit the water yards ahead of the charging Indians. That would mean there is no point using a pistol in this scene until the Indians were right on top of them. Old Hollywood had no qualms with stretching the truth so I think I'll go with Sergio's historical accuracy.
20th and 21st likewise. It's called ballistics. I'm intrigued at the lack of rifles. All cattleman and LE carried them and probably a shotgun. Spencer's here would have added serious fire power.
The rounds fired by the pistols could be dangerous out to 100 yards. If that's all you've got than that's what you use and firing into that tightly-packed group you'd probably hit something. Hey, it's a movie.
I love that good old westerns... the chase starts and they are 50 feet apart. Cut ... the cowboys have made 300 feet out of it. Cowboys ride for their life. Some indians chase after them into the river, the rest of them became invisible. Then a few shots and all the indians drop dead. Cut to the cowboys ... still running for their life ... but have thos amazing shooting skills, when shooting backwards without even looking. Indians get shot and fall from their horses ... next cut ... no indian in the water, no horse without a rider. All indians out of the river. Then some indians again in the river. As a boy i never saw it and as an adult i can ignore it easily, whenever John Wayne is on the screen.
Great movie... just never got this scene, it started when the Comanche warriors were about 20 meters away, then all of a sudden, they are halfway across the river and the Comanche are hundreds of meters away. I guess it was needed for the movie, otherwise they would have been all gunned down.
Exactly, not to mention that the cowboys crossed a clean river and the Indians all fell into a muddy puddle like it was their first time on a horse - hilarious
How come it was beyond the comprehension of movie producers that an attacking force facing a smaller one across a river wouldn't go up or down stream a short distance and cross it and hit that smaller force in the flank?
Watching this again, at 04:00, I think that Ethan's anger after the attack was repulsed was because he missed his shot at scar and he misdirected his anger at the Reverend. John Ford was a great director.
“And the unsung western hero, he killed an Indian or three. Then he made his name in Hollywood, to set the white man free. Oh Jesus save me” Hymn 43 Jethro Tull
Probably the best Western ever. My criticism are: - the indian actors should have been played by real natives, not whites dressed as indians. - they should have made this movie in Texas because Monument Valley is not Texas.
OK, the Comanches had a saying, "A brave man dies young", but they weren't stupid. They had better sense than to charge a defensive position, especially where the men had re[eating rifles. They also didn't wear war bonnets. They wore roach headdresses. Not the best Western by a damn sight. Now, if you want to talk Stagecoach...
Although I agree with your critiisms of this particular scene, I still say that it was of the great westerns. Native Americans never charged a well armed enemy like that. The could not afford the loss of life.
@@TheWanderer691 Sad to say, it isn't. I'd never even heard of The Searchers (born '48) until the Yuppies seized on it as one of their "films". Much like Wyler in The Big Country, Ford painted himself into a corner. The end, like the "Stand aside" scene has to be once again, Ethan wants to kill Debbie and Martin stands in the way, with a line like, "I won't let you, now or ever", and Ethan replies, "That'll be the day. You're too soft". They shoot it out; Martin wins, saying regretfully, "That'll be the day". But Ford could never kill The Duke.
@@matthewnikitas8905 He dies in "The Cowboys." Other movies ol' Duke dies in are "Sands Of Iwo Jima" and "The Alamo." There might be some others but those are two that spring to mind.
