	Revisiting The Searchers. - By Stephen Metcalf - Slate Magazine
		The Searchers, John Ford's epic 1956 Western, is a film geek's paradise: It is preposterous in its plotting, spasmodic in its pacing, unfunny in its hijinks, bipolar in its politics, alternately sodden and convulsive in its acting, not to mention boring.
		The Searchers is an excellent movie which succeeds in the true purpose of a great movie: it envelops the viewer into the colors, emotions, personalities, and passions of the story.
		The Searchers was a homage to racists and racism and the end of the movie seemed more to show that Wayne's character recognized the WHITE in the girl-woman, beneath all of the RED that had consumed her through no fault of her own.

	Searchers HDDVD Movie
		THE SEARCHERS was an original selection to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1989.
		The music "The Searchers" by Stan Jones and the great performence through-out by The Sons Of The Pioneers brings tears to my eyes, especially when Wayne brings Natale home in his arms and as he walks out the door.
		This is the best movie of all time to me.It has action,plot,humor,and unmistakeable characters.Not only is Wayne magnificent,Ward Bond to me makes the movie !!!Great for the WHOLE family.

		Yes this movie is at times free with historical accuracy, but it is a movie not a documentary.
		The ones who are denigrating his legacy (or think this movie is portraying real history) are those who are too stupid or lazy to do their own research.
		The movie wasn't perfect - it was cloying and obvious at times, but I give it high marks for effort and for bringing to the screen an important part of American history that has received disparate treatment in movies, and I think Devlin & Emmerich can now be forgiven for Godzilla.

	Movie-List: DVD: The Searchers (Two-Disc Anniversary Edition)
		I think it is a great lesson of life, however, the interest here is that in a time when murder and mayhem reigned in the Southwest, the passion of the time saw extremes in hatred on both sides of the racial divide.
		The theme of racial hatred and intolerance, of violent opposition to that which is different, speaks today to a world in which religion hates religion and seeks to destroy its ideological enemies.
		Man's inhumanity to man is a pretty universal theme, and "The Searchers" is a pretty universal movie.

	1956 The Searchers - Movie reviews, trailers, clips and stills
		Now many viewers might not find the image of the nubile young Natalie Wood being sullied by Indians as objectionable as the Duke does, so it's a little hard to understand why he wants to kill her, but apparently, that's his thing.
		If I have any problem with The Searchers, it may be that the tone is a little inconsistent, with some goofy slapstick providing a not-so-welcome comic relief from all the gloom and doom and rape and atrocity.
		On the other hand, Searchers is a great, sprawling, beautiful piece of work, and is a hell of a lot more thematically complicated than your average western of the day.

	The Searchers Film Movie Review
		Wayne starred in many of John Ford's movies, but The Searchers is, arguably, the most recognized.

	Amazon.com: John Wayne-John Ford Film Collection (The Searchers Ultimate Edition / Stagecoach Two-Disc Special Edition ...
		As with many of Ford's classic Westerns, The Searchers must contend with revisionism in its stereotypical treatment of "savage" Native Americans, and the film's visual beauty (the final shot is one of the great images in all of Western culture) is compromised by some uneven performances and stilted dialogue.
		Or perhaps not so oddly: for as the matter-of-fact title implies, the film commemorates a period, from the eve of Pearl Harbor up to the impending fall of Bataan, when the Japanese conquest of the Pacific was in full cry and U.S. forces were fighting a desperate holding action.
		Although stirring movies had been made about these early days, they were gung ho in their resolve to see the tables turned.

		However, if you were to ask most film students who directed My Darling Clementine, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, and The Searchers, they’d stare at you as if you asked them who was the father of tap dancing (sorry, Bojangles).
		It doesn’t matter what your attitude is; the minute The Searchers begins, it’s impossible to look away.
		Even on a purely aesthetic level, The Searchers, shot in Arizona’s Monument Valley, is a stunning piece of work, with Ford and cinematographer Winton C. Hoch using depth and layering to define the spare, haunting atmosphere of the film.

		When Orson Welles was asked by an interviewer who he thought were the top three American directors of all time, he simply said: “John Ford, John Ford, and John Ford.” If that wasn’t enough, Ingmar Bergman and Akira Kurosawa simply called Ford the best director who ever lived, American or other.

	Mind Reading for Better Search
		The major premise behind search histories is that if a searcher deemed a result relevant once, there’s a good chance that she was happy with the Web site and would want to visit it again.
		Or, even if the searcher forgot about that site altogether, chances are the keyword she’s using a second, third or 40th time has the same meaning it did in the past — and the sight she visited earlier (but forgot about) will give her the information she wants.
		The most precise way of determining a searcher’s interest at a precise time will almost always be, simply, creating more effective ways to let her tell you what she’d like to see.

	The American Spectator
		When watching the movie one understands the implacable, irreconcilable nature of the struggle between the two cultures and, true to what liberals used to stand for and one Ford doesn't shy from, that the Indian's were indeed men and capable of all the good and evil of any men of any stripe.
		The movie doesn't condemn Ethan and in the end, he does rescue the civilized from the barbarians doing only what must be done and by making the very distinctions neither his enemies nor our liberals of today would make.
		The Searchers is a great movie, because it shows the savagery of the Comanche's who wreaked terror on the Texas frontier with their bloodthirsty raids of rape and pillage.

		He had something else, as well, and it’s the missing ingredient from today’s movies: He knew it was all right to be hated.
		Hollywood historian David Thomson once called Wayne “the crown prince of difficult men.” The stars of his generation knew that the price of heroism, of domination, of certitude, of command, was loneliness – or possibly, since they were so disconnected from their emotions that they’d never acknowledge such a thing – aloneness.
		They certainly haven’t gone to be soldiers; no, they’ve gone to be sensitive, not so much in the touchy-feely way, but in that way that strikes at their essence.

		Interestingly enough, the french title of the movie is "la prisonnière du désert" (the desert's prisoner), shifting the focus from the drama of the men searching for a little girl to the girl itself.
		The Searchers is in a different class since John Wayne seems haunted or obsessed with finding the killers.
		Interestingly enough, what is important in the movie is not the battles, awesome as they are (Jerusalem's siege, with its night bombing, woah !), and amazing scenery.

		And you didn't go to a movie, you went to "the movies." You rarely knew the title of the film you were going to see until you saw the marquee -- and even then you might not recognize the title.
		So adults and kids alike went to the movies, to see whatever was playing -- especially during the hot months, because in those days the big pull was to go to "an air-conditioned movie," as the phrase went.
		Into the early Sixties, movie theatres were among the only air-conditioned public buildings, and nothing was more rare for working-class people (on the East Coast anyway) than an air-conditioned residence.

	The American Spectator
		That line, spoken by John Wayne in the 1956 film The Searchers, is pure, classic "Duke." From that moment on, you just know that he is going to keep on pursuing the Comanches that kidnapped his niece until the very bitter end -- and God help those Indians when he finally catches up.
		Among other accolades, it was among the first films chosen for the Library of Congress's National Film Preservation Board in 1989, designating it a "national treasure." That's awfully high praise for a western shoot'em up.
		As the Village Voice put it, The Searchers is "a perverted odyssey of xenophobic self-hatred and waste, with Wayne at the center in arguably the most profound portrait of macho monstrosity ever delivered by an American movie star."

	The Shootist (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This is a very good John Wayne movie, but rather sad as he was really going through a similar fate as the lead character in the movie.
		The entire movie revolves around the days that he resides in Lauren Bacall's rooming house and preparing for his death.
		I loved this movie from the earliest moments of the film when a montage of scenes of previous Wayne films was played depicting the life of JB Books right up to the final gunfight in the Acme Saloon.

		I was working at a movie theatre at the time that came out and I watched it twice a night for two weeks...
		It is a lovely fairytale, a love story,a mystery, and a truly amazing horror movie that has gore, but none of it is pointless.
		There are tons more examples in The Searchers of hugely important subliminal elements that you have to see it four or five times to fully understand, and plenty more in Sleepy Hollow that, after you've watched it once, their surprise wears off and they seem dull and uninteresting.

		I cannot for the life of me understand why this goofy, campy sci-fi is so highly regarded as I find it certainly to be the most overrated movie of all time and undoubtedly one of the most boring movies and that is the greatest sin of all.
		but I think the maker of this thread was stupid as in movies were made for entertainment and if they fail to entertain him, it doesn't mean they don't serve their purpose in general.
		This is The Searchers, the greatest movie ever, it takes place in the Wild West, and the Wild West was tamed by big, white, mean racists, who killed people.

		The movie stands out to me as Peckinpah's moving critique of the modern, 20thCentury man, and the nature of law in society vis-a-vis one's actions.
		There is no disputing that the realm of judicious actions, in Peckinpah's mind, rests solely with men who are willing to enforce their will.
		David wins by killing his lynch mob, and preserves his judicial sensibilities and moral structure (the glasses, reminicent of the symbolism of the wearing of hats in "The Searchers") by seeing that Henry is safe.
