So 6 movies watched but UTEOTW, was about 4h & 45m long so it should count as an extra film. It has a very slow start but gets better. Great soundtrack! #moviesareswell
neutral · AI labelView post →I think about this all the time. In SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON, the Wayne character repeatedly says "Never apologize! It's a sign of weakness!" If you ask me, the movie clearly depicts that attitude as deeply wrongheaded, but here we are.
positive · AI labelView post →That one is tough. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Shane, The Searchers, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon....or newer ones like Outlaw Josey Wales Good, the Bad and the Ugly, or Dances With Wolves It comes down to Tombstone or Open Range. Both outstanding. I have to go with Tombstone

O’Brien returned to occasional roles in Ford’s later films, including FORT APACHE and SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but it’s SUNRISE that secured his place in film history. 6/9

It seems that the 7000 films I watched over that period was basically worthless. Hahaha. She Wore a Yellow Ribbon is my favourite John Ford film. I adore it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Yes. That branch of "Christianity" is unrecognizable. It's like the elderly Native American chief named "Pony That Walks", played by Chief John Big Tree, in the John Wayne movie, "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" who cries out, "Nathan, I am a Christian!" Only, he is more sincere following Jesus.

neutral · AI labelView post →My favourite John Ford film has long been She Wore A Yellow Ribbon. A film that moves me immeasurably, a film that bypasses all my critical faculties. But My Darling Clementine could be his best film... ...but then so could Liberty Valance, or Stagecoach, or Fort Apache, or The Quiet Man, or or or.
positive · AI labelView post →#BOTD John Wayne (1907-1979) After seeing him in Red River (1948) John Ford famously said: "I never knew the big son of a bitch could act." Ford then began casting him as the lead in more demanding acting roles, such as, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) The Quiet Man (1952) and The Searchers (1956)
neutral · AI labelView post →The score, cinematography and battle scenes are quite good. Some of the scenes reminded me of a train trip Marvin and I took out West in September (see photos).

neutral · AI labelView post →In Ford’s She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, a cavalry officer near retirement & an old Native chief reflect on how old warriors want peace while young bloods agitate for war. It’s a lovely, decidedly postwar film, and it’s understandable why the movie was popular. But that sentiment is, of course, a lie.
