I should have included Pompey and thought about doing so, but I couldn't figure out how to get the strong, wise, black man treated as less than a man by everyone except the heroes Wayne and Stewart (again an iconic vision of ourselves) without getting off course.<BR/><BR/>Maybe this note will help make up for the oversight.Durward Discussionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15023629504094283860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20306397.post-1153947938801672612006-07-26T14:05:00.000-07:002006-07-26T14:05:00.000-07:00You forgot Woody Strode.Which everyone does in alm...You forgot Woody Strode.<BR/><BR/>Which everyone does in almost every movie... Sergeant Rutledge included.<BR/><BR/>I always find that script and characters far more complex than what Ford had looked for in the late forties and fifties.<BR/><BR/>That includes The Searchers which carries great power but not so great direction.<BR/><BR/>Keep an eye out for a new DVD of Ford's Steambout Round The Bend with Will Rogers.<BR/><BR/>That's one of his five greatest.

Even when America has behaved with less than noble intentions, the legend was always there to come back to. It is Frank Sinatra singing "The House I Live In". It is Mr. Smith filibustering a complacent and corrupt senate. It is Cohan as the Yankee Doodle Dandy.<BR/><BR/>Even when we have made horrendous errors: Wounded Knee, Japanese relocation to camps, or Mi Lai, the legend has always brought us back to who we are supposed to be even if we fall short with who we are.<BR/><BR/>The biggest sin this administration has committed is that it has stolen our idea of ourselves and replaced it with the Ugly American the world rightly despises.Durward Discussionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15023629504094283860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20306397.post-1153946510760569712006-07-26T13:41:00.000-07:002006-07-26T13:41:00.000-07:00jamie,Loved the film, love the analogy.
