He can be tyrannical teams, the worst brutality of his actors, and John Ford was also one of the best directors in American cinema history. During the 1960s, he was sixty years old and began to improve how America showed her a cinema.
“Excuse” West: Chayenes
The most famous example of this period is his Western Les Cheyennes (1964), which presents native American heroes who take their fate and leave the reserve, where we seem to put them down to wait for death in general.
As Peter Wallen summarizes it in his work Signs and meaning in cinema :: “During his career, Ford saw that the problems of civilized/wild and European/India are developing.
If it would be unfair to record that Ford has always been deprived of the Indians – it is enough to see Braves Column or Fort Apache’s massacre – it is true that “locals” were often present in bloodthirsty and deserved their Winchester ball in many other films.
But in the 1960s, the director developed and wanted to emphasize other topics through its Westerners, including other racist strikes in the genre.
Black Sergeant, clumsy film
Ford will also try to get closer to the topic of racism with the film Le Sergeant Noir (1960), which Wood Strod is made, less finished and with lots of mistakes. He wanted to return to Hollywood for decades of racism.
At the top of the blockbuster, the African American installation is a courageous behavior at the time, and Ford should be angry with the head of his studio to impose a movie at a time when part of America fights for civil rights, the director violates the subject, who is sufficiently angry to confront one ethnicity.
She also tried to play a beautiful role for female characters, at the top of the latest film, at the head of the Chinese border. Often moves in the background or has to deal with men who do more than everything, Ford movie theater women often live especially for that. At the Chinese border, they undermine the engine of action and even the character of Ann Bankroft undermine the prejudices.
The end of unwavering myths
John Wayne’s “Freedom Debt”
From the man who killed the Liberty Valage (1962), Ford officially stated that the West, which was sold in cinema, in the newspapers and in other novels of Dimnes, was a fantasy version, and the pure legend was left in memories.
Moreover, in Cheyennes, Wyatt Earp, located by James Stewart, is Henry Fund’s antipodes in the same Ford’s infernal persecution. Sufficient and lazy, ridiculed, far away, far from the sheriff, praised so many Western and pseudo-historical stories in the West.
A movie that tells the best Ford at that time
Lastly, the film that is the most Ford is probably the last copper group with Spencer Trace. He is not the West, but he talks about the director’s mind during this period of his life.
The protagonist, an old -fashioned politician of Irish descent, who gives everything he has to win in the last election and loses him before a young candidate, can be Ford (also by Irish descent) trying to provide his cinematographic will, before it is too late, facing new Hollywood and hippies.
John Ford will be released in 1973, in the year in which his film character in the 1930s and 40s, Henry Fonda, performs a self-governing shop in front of a completely crowd in Italy. His name was Ford.
