The John Ford/John Wayne classic movie, The Searchers (1956) is one of my all –time favourites, up there with Lord of the Rings, and is much loved by a range of Rightist folk from conservatives to race realists. It is politically incorrect by today’s standards, where all Westerns now are about white guilt rather than the manifest destiny that John Wayne promoted. As well, the view of the natives was a stark realism, as expressed in book like Scalp Dance, rather than the romantic primitivism of the modern university, which has the ideological purpose of discrediting the predominantly Anglo-Saxon settlers, right across the Anglo-sphere. Here is an insightful review from Counter-Currents.com, better than I could do to capture the gist of the movie before it is cancelled. In fact, it would be a good idea to get the DVD of this while you still can.
There are some great moments in the movie, that filter through my mind from time to time. I like the scene where the small band of pursuers, led by John Wayne’s character Ethan Edwards, is caught at a river by the band of Indians who had just massacred Ethan’s relatives. Ethan eschews cover, and defiantly stands by a fallen tree, still exposed, opening fire with a Winchester rifle, hammering them. No white guilt on the part of Ethan Edwards. As well, Ethan is pretty much anti-establishment and politically incorrect even for the day, with a hint that this Confederate warrior had continued the battle against the North even after the war had ended, as he is Confederate, wearing a Union uniform.
