| | Among the most complex Ford westerns, if not the best | 1fatts 03/14/2007 | Anyone who knows American movies knows this one. I don't think it is more quintessentially "American" than the Ford Cavalry Trilogy, but there is an edge to it which sets it apart. There is an emptiness in John Wayne's Ethan Edwards that marks him and separates him so fundamentally from everything around him that we are limited in our sympathy for him and find it only appropriate that he both begins and ends the film as the outsider and perhaps the outcast.
The movie is not without flaws. Structurally, we never see what it is that changes Ethan's intention to kill Debbie and, therefore, while we are willing to accept it emotionally, it doesn't really work in terms of the plot setup.
More seriously, the whole film sets us up for a confrontation between Edwards and Scar, and, in the end, we don't get that confrontation. That is a significant weakness.
But it is a great western. Monument Valley has rarely been used to better effect. Ford's stock company all acquit themselves well, and we have a chance to appreciate John Wayne in a more complex role than we usually get to see him. |
