The Searchers

An entertaining epic with influential camera work, master class writing, and a color pallet that would bring Edgar Allen Poe out of depression. A enjoyable classic with all the fun of a great western.

Frequently regarded as an all-time classic, this overly racist display of anti-Native filmmaking does not pass the test of time. Hard to watch by today’s standards, and impossible to justify. Shame on John Wayne.

4.5/5

So much searching

Holds up to be pretty entertaining. Some racist depictions but overall critiques the blatant racism often found in westerns
