The creative skills of both John Ford as director and John Wayne as actor come through in this technicolor movie treat. Many critics comment about the stereo typing and the view on native Americans that this movie portrays. Whether we like it or now it is part of our history. John Wayne portrays Ethan Edwards a man conflicted with what happens to family members in the hands of what were a savage band of a FEW native Americans. There are always better and worse people on both sides of issues. The characters in this movie are more true to life than most like to admit. They are complex combinations of conflict, love, hate, greed, compassion, and all things that make up a human being. They are all struggling to make the best decisions at any particular time while still being influenced by what others do to them and how they react to it. Sometimes they take time to reason on it, sometimes not. Just like real life folks! There are ideals in this film. But put that all aside and enjoy the movie for it's grand Western vistas and see a film that is what a Western was all about!Read full review
Barring the misunderstanding about the need for a HD DVD player to play this film we find the film to be a classic JW film. My family has enjoyed JW films together for 15 years. The Searchers blends John Wayne's rough and rugged persona with a man determined to find the young family members stollen in an indian raid. There are moments of harsh reality and comic relief. Compassion wins in the end and a family is reunited only to face the healing that will, most probably, never take place. The contrast in leading rolls and the sentamentality that is earned during the story line are unforgetable.
What can be said about this classic that hasn't already been said. An evening of viewing this dvd along with John Wayne's 'Red River' (in black and white of course) is a great night of movie watching.
Excellent movie, one of John waynes's best acting I've seen so far!!!!! Scar Face could have been played by a real indian but in those days they chose to pick white actors to play indian chiefs.
If you love the Duke, then you will love this classic John Wayne movie. Hd-dvd makes this movies backdrop really show up.
