CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Ethan (John Wayne) carries Debbie (Natalie Wood) home to the Jorgensen's ranch, but does not enter himself, choosing instead to wander back on the frontier.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
John Wayne plays Ethan Edwards, a former Confederate soldier who returns to his brother Aaron's frontier cabin three years after the end of the Civil War. Ethan still has his rebel uniform and weapons, a large stash of Yankee gold, and no explanations as to where he's been since Lee's surrender. A loner not comfortable in the bosom of his family, Ethan also harbors a bitter hatred of Indians (though he knows their lore and language well) and trusts no one but himself. Ethan and Martin Pawley (Jeffrey Hunter), Aaron's adopted son, join a makeshift band of Texas Rangers fending off an assault by renegade Comanches. Before they can run off the Indians, several homes are attacked, and Ethan returns to discover his brother and sister-in-law dead and their two daughters kidnapped. While they soon learn that one of the girls is dead, the other, Debbie, is still alive, and with obsessive determination, Ethan and Martin spend the next five years in a relentless search for Debbie -

This scene is such a microcosm of life. Ethan is an imperfect and flawed man, filled with hate, but he is still capable of good deeds. He returns the girl then turns away from the scene and walks slowly and somberly into the dust and the vastness of the unknown, his future uncertain. This film is an absolute masterpiece.

@Willie Gordon There's probably some truth to that, as I see the Duke's TRUE GRIT Oscar as being more of a Lifetime Achievement Award; but he really was very good as the crotchety, drunken, one-eyed aging lawman. Wayne's best movie roles are the nearly all the ones where he played authoritative men with character flaws or traumatic conflict issues, e.g. THE QUIET MAN, ISLAND IN THE SKY, THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY, HONDO, THE SANDS OF IWO JIMA, THE SHOOTIST, and of course TRUE GRIT and THE SEARCHERS.

Many legends of cinema like Scorcese, Spielberg, and Lucas consider this movie not only one of the best westerns ever made, but one of the best films period. John Ford employs a lot of symbolism with that final shot of Ethan walking away. It's an analog of Moses carrying the Hebrews to the Promised Land but being unable to enter it himself and also a microcosm of how tough, hard men tamed the wild west but once the west became civilized they were no longer needed. Such a fantastic movie, a fantastic director, and a fantastic leading man.

Yeah it’s insane to me that he wasn’t even nominated for this, but won for True Grit. His performance in True Grit is good, but it’s nowhere near the caliber that he executes in The Searchers. There’s just so much more to the character of Ethan Edwards and the complexities of his life and inner being than there is in Rooster Cogburn. It feels more like they gave him one for that film cause they knew he deserved one and he was coming towards the end of his life. God The Searchers gets me every time bro, such a perfect happy yet melancholic ending, so many emotions and ideas to spill over.

John Wayne made a symbolic salute in this ending. One of his best friends was actor Harry Carey, who's son played in several of Wayne's movies including his one. Harry Carey's wife is the lady in the scene and when she went inside she turned around, off camera. to see John Wayne's last scene. Wayne put his arm across to the other arm in salute to Harry Carey who often used this pose in his movies. His wife cried when she saw this.

Why did he walk away after bringing Debbie home? As I matured and became a movie buff I realized that that ten year old boy, me, had seen the greatest movie ever made. Not the greatest western but the greatest American film ever put to screen. Every time I watch it I see the subtle nuances I missed from previous viewings. God what a movie.

@dongilleo9743 6 лет назад

I like the contrast. At the beginning of the movie, Ethan arrives home from fighting in the Civil War. He takes off his sword, plops on a chair, remarks about what a waste of effort the war was, and is home. At the end, this time around, he has gone too far, has seen, experienced, and done too many things. He can't or won't pass through the doorway, to civilized life, to reunite with family and friends. Instead, he turns and walks away into self imposed exile. He has brought his niece Debbie home, but in doing so made it impossible to come home himself.

I believe that he has gained some understanding, and that as bad as it is, there is some hope for him. The theme song says A man will search his heart and soul, Go searching way out there, His peace of mind he knows he'll find, But where, O Lord; Lord, where? Ethan does not have it, yet, but he is not condemned to wander forever. He is "condemned" to know that it is worse than most people are willing to face, and more than can be incorporated into a reasonable explanation of life. But he sees that, in spite of that, not everything comes out badly. There is mercy in spite of the lack of it in so much of life. If he went in those doors to take part in the moment, no, he couldn't be part of it, but he has his own moments. He is alone with his thoughts, with his heart and soul, as it says; it is tragic, but not hopeless. He has answered something, but just what it consists of is yet to be seen.

@JJF10101957 6 лет назад

In the early 1930's John Wayne was working as a gofer at the same studio as cowboy star Tom Mix. They knew each other and Wayne met and enjoyed Mrs. Mix. He invited her on set for the shooting of this scene. In Mix's movies that pose was the all is well, and turned out well. Tom Mix was long dead, and Mrs. Mix missed him enormously. The story goes that She was extremely affected by Wayne's memorial that She wept loudly off camera, and it changed the on set emotional outbreak caused the scene to be filmed without sound.

@curtlewis2795 6 лет назад

The bones of the story you have correct but the identity of the actor in question was not Tom Mix but Harry Carey Senior, father of Harry Junior who was part of John Ford's stock company and who frequently starred with the Duke in many of Ford's westerns and cavalry films. Harry Senior's widow (and HC Junior's mom) was Olive Carey who played Mrs. Jorgensen and who is in this scene (the older woman who leads Natalie Wood into the house). HC Senior had been the Duke's mentor in his early years and they were quite fond of one another. One of HC Senior's trademarks was that pose with one hand reaching across and grabbing the opposite elbow. So, as Olive leads Natalie through the door, into the house, and moves out of camera range, the Duke stands looking in -- and strikes the pose he knew Olive would recognize as her late husband's. One legendary actor's tribute to another. And yes, there are stories that Olive wept as she watched that scene play out.

This movie was almost totally forgotten after its initial release until it was shown on AMC around 1981 after which it was realized what a classic it was. I saw it as a teen when it came out in 1956 and thought it was great (and still do). It's hard to fathom how Earnest Borgnine won best actor that year for Marty.

@charlesdahlin6502 4 года назад

I saw the film in 1960 in San Antonio when Hollywood was slow in releasing films to TV. A few minutes into the film I was totally enthralled. Didn't see it again for a decade. I would mention it occassionally to peers but none were aware of it. Then in the early '70s I saw it at UCLA and it was revered as a masterpiece.

Borgnine deserved the oscar for Marty. That was an awesome movie and Borgnine played against type beautifully.

I've been fascinated by this movie, especially the opening and the ending scene, ever since I saw it the first time with my father in the early 80's. Even before I saw it, I remember my father sharing his impressions from when he saw it 20 some years prior. The faith of the lonely hero, in all of its' good and bad. Very emotional and very powerful. Over the decades I've seen many western movies, I remember adoring the Howard Hawks' movies with The Duke too, but there is something about John Ford's movies. True masterpieces.

I read that the doorway was suppose to symbolize the border between civilization and the Old West. Inside the house was what was to become the civilized world and outside was the beginning of what would be the dying of the Old West. The door closes separating them both.

@scribblerjohn1 3 года назад

Olive Carey touches Ethan's shoulder. That's the only acknowledgement that he is even there. Everyone else ignores him totally. He turns and walks away and there is no horse for him to mount, he just walks into the wilderness. This has fueled much speculation that he is a ghost, that he died in the Civil War and only came back to avenge the slaughter of his brother's family and find Debbie, the only survivor (who, it is hinted, may actually be his own daughter).

@josephjohnston6826 3 года назад

The French critics went crazy over this film and the denouement in particular. Jean-Luc Godart likened the finale to classical literature.

@jackrabbit5047 2 года назад

That last scene of John Wayne clasping his forearm in the doorway has to be the most beautiful in cinema history. The loneliness conveyed as he cannot enter the house makes me think of the modern-day reality of how much the man is maligned for some statements he made on racism, in a different era, and how people today want to "cancel" him. He remains the same noble, lonesome figure even today.

@CameronfDrums 4 года назад

I took a film class last year and this is what I wrote picking this scene for analysis for Ethan's character. There is so much to analyze in movies, that makes it so much more interesting. *The entire premise of the movie is of finding Debbie and avenging his family's death by killing Scar. And after the dust has settled, this conflict within himself is rising of what family really is. And if he really has any at all now. And that decision to leave it all behind is made. This can be seen in the song that plays in the background as he delivers Debbie home. “A man will search his heart and soul. Go searching way out there. His peace of mind he knows he’ll find, but where o’ lord o’ where? Ride away. Ride Away. Ride Away” (The Searchers 1956). This song symbolizes the conflict within Ethan and the choice he makes after. A rhetorical question is asked within the song singing, “Where is this peace of mind?” And applying this to Ethan’s character, it has no answer as it should. Because he is so broken by these conflicting experiences, Ethan secludes himself in a purgatory of searching for his peace. Realizing that the question of whether or not he has any family will forever stay relevant. Yet as the film depicts it he does it alone as he intended to do from the start of his conflicts. And as the door shuts behind him, and as he walks out closer to the horizon. Ethan is in search for that peace. Which brings new meaning to the title of the film itself. * P.S. pay attention to how no one even looks at Ethan within this scene. Almost like no one sees him as family, forcing him to leave, and ponder the reality of what a family means.

@fumusfumus 3 года назад

As Ford did, my father fought in WWII. I suspect Ford, like my father, felt some of the "job done, no great thanks, you're turfed out of the military back into a land that will never comprehend what you did and was relatively normal throughout. Its totally up to you to find a life and place in society again...." Is it that experience that enabled Ford to express it so well? Just like the story and ending of "Once upon a time in the west". It makes both characters and my father their own men, with a pragmatic rather than naive and idealistic outlook on the real basis of life and the falsities civilisation surrounds itself with that set them apart and often at odds and intolerant of the shenanigans of "civilisation". As Whitman said in Leaves of Grass "...the east and west are mine......beware the maturation of the affairs of men, beware civilisation"

We all know how special this is, that’s why we are here. Just how graceful was this man? After he hands Debbie off he turns and lets the young couple enter. He moves like a ballet dancer. He points the toe of his boot and ever so slightly gives them room to enter. He makes it look easy, unplanned, but it was not easy or unplanned. Great acting.

@matheus5230 Год назад

For me, this scene is Ethan coming to terms that his prejudices and hate don't have a place anymore in the future of the West. He is a relic from the past.

As an homage to actor Harry Carey, John Wayne held his right elbow with his left hand in the closing shot of The Searchers, imitating a stance Carey himself often used in his films. According to Wayne, both he and Carey's widow Olive (who costarred in the film) wept when the scene was finished.
