Zithers 08/04/21 11:45:28 PM #84:	yeah the searchers is a movie about a guy so full of hate that he is destined to be alone forever. they even have the scene where they shoot the dead native's eyes so he has to wander the spirit land in eternity. then at the end of the movie the family is back together except for ethan, who has the door shut on him, and he suffers the same fate but in life. owned! StifledSilence posted... I think that's a very egotistical way of looking at this. The important thing is to expose people to the classics to broaden their horizons, not that they MUST like the classics or they are "normies" that "don't understand movies". The rankers of these projects have always given every movie a fair shake. While you could definitely say older movies are ranked lower on average, saying they are shunning and auto-trashing those films don't fit the bill here. And quite frankly, I think anyone who says they didn't submit because older movies tend to get ranked low is a cover for "I didn't feel like doing the writeups." watching the movie isn't the same thing as giving it a fair shake and clearly going by the searchers write ups everyone is just expecting the old movies to be racist because that is the main takeaway. depiction isn't endorsement fyi. also john ford had positive depictions of natives in some of his movies (wagon master comes to mind - great movie btw i got it on bluray earlier this year before warner archive closed their shop up) and if you're concerned about him being a white supremacist, you could watch sergeant rutledge or acknowledge the fact that he made combat documentaries during ww2 which was, you know, about fighting against nazis (although he was in the pacific theater and had shrapnel removed from his head during the battle of the midway). he also refused to name names during the red scare and publicly defended supposed communists/sympathizers. also he wanted to cast black actors to be falsely accused of a crime before having abe as their attorney in young mr lincoln but the studio wouldnt let him. btw tomnook if you wanna talk with old movie lovers send me a PM i run a discord with all of the old theater/home media users that had a lick of taste. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m02lct2g9l1qdlvg6o1_500.gif https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1283-quality-cinema-club <cite>Zithers posted [p:956788814] in Board 8 Ra...
