hey

that's one of the ones i'm planning on watching next actually, i have it, Sergeant Rutledge and Wagon Master ready to go

i love this quote about his cinema:

"Any effort persisted in becomes corrupt. The sense of duty that sustains Ford’s individuals (and also their sense of faith) commonly leads them astray into aberrations or death. Duty-bound, they invade others’ privacy, and
arrogate knowledge of higher good, right and judgment: judges, ministers, soldiers, outlaws, priests. Thus racism, war or any form of intolerance becomes a function of society. In tracing Ford’s pictures (particularly Judge
Priest, How Green Was My Valley, This Is Korea!, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance) we have seen how people (and governments) act from feeling, not from logic. People are made of dreams as much as reality. And we have seen how Ford, in awakening around 1927 to cinema’s ability to be art through total stylization, awakened simultaneously to his art’s high task: to help us free ourselves from determining ideologies. Art, after all, has the
capability of making us understand things through emotion that we would be absolutely incapable of understanding through the intellect. Within a determining milieu, particularly when that milieu is challenged, free will, human nature, life’s worth, a benign divinity’s existence, all must necessarily be posed in question. And so Ford pictures ideally construct in minute detail a social set of apparent homogeneity (thus often military-like) in order to
analyze that society within its historic moment, and in order to demonstrate how the garments of society, together with history itself, operate on the individual. It is for these reasons that Jean-Marie Straub has called Ford the
most ”Brechtian” of all filmmakers."

>There is a quality to the imagery in all the best Ford films that converts the sentimentality of his scripts into something else. His static compositions, with their liquid light that seems to vibrate across surfaces, are filled with emotion and loss; they evoke a tension between a unity achieved and a feeling either that the unity is itself about to be lost (as in "How Green Was My Valley" with its two incredible "frozen moments" when the characters literally seem to freeze when, for example, two sons announce their intention to emigrate to America or that the unity was achieved at tragic cost (as in "The Searchers.")

>The first point I want to make is a general one: it's fine to critique films ideologically, but one should also remember the context of their times. In fact the US civil rights movement was just barely getting started at the time of "The Searchers," and westerns sympathetic to Indians were pretty new too. I recall a friend who told me that when he was an undergrad at Harvard in the 1970s, a class on Dante kept getting disrupted by a woman who accused Dante of "sexism." Well, yeah. It was probably not very easy to find a male feminist in Italy circa 1300. Telling the story of the West from the Native American perspective wasn't common in the 1950s either.

>The second point is that other side of my argument that most films that I love are, by my personal ideology, quite wrong, is that I think powerful aesthetic effects tends to undercut any ideological point. If the work is great enough the pleasure it causes is both complex and chaotic, and gives you an experience that you can't reduce to any single "theme." Most often the "themes" or "messages" of the greatest films co-exist with their opposites, or their alternatives. Thus "Dog Star Man" is a heroic celebration of individual vision yet also shows the utter destruction of its filmmaker-protagonist; "The 47 Ronin" advocates social duty and implies its negation in individual love; "Rio Bravo" depicts the heroism of a small group and also the psychologically regressive aspects of Dude's drunkenness at the opening and Chance's succumbing to the woman at the end.

>About "The Searchers," I largely agree with John M. His point about the ending is interesting -- in a way the ending of "Red River" poses the same problem vis-à-vis the Wayne character (shouldn't he have murdered Matt?), and given that Ford supposedly remarked of Wayne after seeing "Red River," "I didn't know that big sonouvabitch could act," it shouldn't be surprising that a bit of Wayne's Thomas Dunson persona in the Hawks film finds its way into a Ford.

>As others have pointed out, the character of Ethan is presented as a parallel to Scar. Most important in this regard is the famous face-off scene, which lasts only a moment, in which they face each other, roughly equal in height, and address each other in similar terms ("You speak good Comanche? Someone teach you?" says Scar, echoing Ethan's earlier query to him). I believe that McBride and Wilmington pointed out the importance of this scene in their early article on "The Searchers," later included in their Ford book. Both Ethan and Scar are members of a dying breed of frontier loners, and they seem to understand that about each other, and we understand them as moral equivalents in a way. As John M points out, Ethan was probably an outlaw -- a bit of dialogue with the Ward Bond character suggests that he may have been robbing banks. None of this means the film is free of racism, but it does mean that its racial attitudes are far more nuanced than they first seem, and include a critique of racism.

>The ending is far too important and complex and, well, great to be dismissed as merely sentimental. The ending should be understood in the context of the visual opposition Ford establishes throughout the film that is key to his meaning, between the exteriors with their somewhat wild and organic rock forms, which cannot be easily assimilated into the rectangular motion picture image and indeed seem to be always breaking out of its confines and suggesting a nature too vast for any civilized or civilizing eye to contain, and the interiors, whose rectangular rooms are a perfect match for the picture frame, a match Ford emphasizes by composing for walls and ceilings and windows. This opposition, represented on a script level in the contrast between the wild frontier and the characters of Ethan and Scar who represent it with the younger civilizing generation, represented not only by Martin but by his ridiculous suitor-rival (whose comic absurdity is part of Ford's point about the anti-Wayne qualities of the newer generations -- see the opposition between Skeffington (Spencer Tracy) and his slick TV rival in "The Last Hurrah") who is about to marry the girl who had waited "five long years in this God-forsaken windscow" for Martin, is at the heart of the film in both story and image. The sublime pre-massacre scene with unnatural sunset light pouring through the cabin windows from an outside filled its Indian-signal noises threatening the family is a key here. Those multiple windows fail to "tame" the light, and the family is all but one of them murdered, their cabin destroyed. In this context what happens in the final images is that Ethan remains outside, to "wander forever between the winds" to quote his words (as I believe McBride and Wilmington do) for the Indian whose eyes he shoots out, while the other characters enter into the rectangular space of the house.

>But the house is presented as darkness, and the effect of this is to make the characters seem, as they walk inward and toward us in silhouette, to be entering the rectangular space of the movie theater too. Ford's placement of them with us makes his final shot into a bitingly ironic reference to the way civilization has established itself on the graves of its forgotten pioneers.

>This ending was, I believe, recently echoed, very simplistically and way too explicitly, and in my view also blasphemously, in the ending of Scorsese's aesthetically worthless "The Gangs of New York," yet another moment of "Searchers" ripoffs in a long line of them in movie-fan-directed Hollywood films of the last three or four decades.

>There is a quality to the imagery in all the best Ford films that converts the sentimentality of his scripts into something else. His static compositions, with their liquid light that seems to vibrate across surfaces, are filled with emotion and loss; they evoke a tension between a unity achieved and a feeling either that the unity is itself about to be lost (as in "How Green Was My Valley" with its two incredible "frozen moments" when the characters literally seem to freeze when, for example, two sons announce their intention to emigrate to America) or that the unity was achieved at tragic cost (as in "The Searchers.")

>I realize I'm going to sound like a broken record just now, but Mats, what's great Ford's compositions is partly lost in video mis-translations of his films. And it's what's great about his compositions that makes the ideologically confounding aesthetic effect so strong. I'm really glad that some of that effect came through for you, but assuming you've seen the film on video, I hope you'll be able to see it on film someday.

so back to Cimino. the only ones i've seen by him are Deer Hunter and Heaven's Gate. i enjoyed his visual style and thematically heavy narratives. are his latter films worth tracking down? the trailer for Sunchaser is rather cringy. odd how he basically retired. couldnt' he have scrounged up some finances for indie features or was he entirely uninsurable?

Heaven's Gate is an enthralling film with several brilliant sequences and amazing performances. at moments it can be rather dull, true, but why it was trashed and continues to be so i'll never understand. the good in it outweighs the bad.

as for Cimino being a hack, that term gets thrown around here so often it's virtually a blanket term for "actor/director/writer we do not like." basically, it doesn't mean shit.

If one examines semanticist deconceptualism, one is faced with a choice:
either accept semantic theory or conclude that sexuality has significance, but
only if semanticist deconceptualism is valid. Therefore, Mann'
s analysis of
neotextual deconstruction holds that narrativity serves to reinforce hierarchy.
Lacan uses the term ‘semanticist deconceptualism’ to denote the role of the
observer as participant.

“Sexual identity is a legal fiction,” says Derrida. However, Mann suggests that we have to choose between semantic theory and
capitalist theory. The subject is interpolated into a semanticist
deconceptualism that includes reality as a whole.

Therefore, if semantic theory holds, we have to choose between neotextual
deconstruction and postdialectic nihilism. The main theme of the work of
Mann is a conceptual paradox.

Untit.png
26 KB, 166x194
In the works of Mann, a predominant concept is the distinction between
within and without. If predeconstructivist nationalism holds, we have to choose
between modernist appropriation and neocultural structuralist theory.

The characteristic theme of Mann's model of
subdialectic narrative is a mythopoetical whole. However, the main theme of the
works of his are not deconstruction, but subdeconstruction. The subject is
interpolated into a predeconstructivist nationalism that includes truth as a
paradox.

“Sexual identity is responsible for hierarchy,” says Foucault; however,
according to Werther[2] , it is not so much sexual identity
that is responsible for hierarchy, but rather the failure, and some would say
the economy, of sexual identity. It could be said that the premise of
subcultural theory states that the purpose of the reader is significant form.
In Blackhat, Mann examines libertarianism; in Four
Rooms, however, he deconstructs modern capitalism.
