The Searchers (Dir. John Ford, 1956)


Never understood why I keep coming back to this film. Maybe it's the last scene or maybe I just like seeing John Wayne's racist confederate soldier getting deconstructed and finally outcast; maybe I like Ward Bond showing Wayne his place time and again and yet respecting him at the same time; maybe I just love the way Vera Miles carries herself in this film or maybe it's just the photography and the colors. On second thoughts, I think it's just the last scene and everything else.
