 Very vicious, racial films! Politically incorrect films! January 9, 2007

John Wayne, one of the most politically incorrect actors all time(probably the most politically incorrect), was teamed many times with a racist and very politically incorrect director "John Ford" and a very commercial and politically incorrect director "Howard Hawks".
John Ford described the native brutally,falsely and the white innocent in his technically famous films "The Searchers", "Stagecoach", and he twisted the story of the great novel "The grapes of wrath" by the view point of the ruler. Is he a good director? Yes, he is a technially good director, but he informed the audience of wrong history done by most whites. The native were killed in their land by the white, and the white took the native's property. So "The Searchers", "Stagecoach" can not be good any sense for the society even though those movies were technically great.
John Wayne was worse than John Ford(they were almost the same). In 1950's which-hunt, some Hollywood liberals made the film "High Noon" to attack the extreme right wing. After watching the film "High Noon", John Wayne and Howard Hawks decided to attack the Hollywood liberals, so they made the film "Rio Bravo". The result was a politically incorrect film(a very falsely informed and extremely right wing propaganda film).
Did we need a extremely right wing propaganda fim in 1950's?
Some people say a film should be decided by itself (technical standards only). I don't agree with that opinion because a film influence the audience. That's why only Jim Morrison(lead singer of "doors") liked Marlon Brando, the other UCLA class mates liked the racist, extremist John Wayne. I hope to watch technically good films with human conscience.
