Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Western movies of John Wayne have included some of the greatest depictions of the Wild West ever produced, but rewatching them today, decades after they were first released, some harsh realities must be faced.
Ford even later admitted in a 1964 interview that there was “merit to the charge that the Indian hasn't been portrayed accurately or fairly. 8 A Lack Of Diversity and Racial Awareness The Alamo Close The language used in John Wayne’s old Western movies could be considered quite shocking by today’s standards, of course, movies today feature a lot more profanity than they did during Wayne’s heyday, but the derogatory terms and flippant discrimination felt majorly outdated.
In the John Ford directed Wayne Western Rio Grande, Wayne played Lieutenant Colonel Kirby Yorke, a cavalry officer stationed in Rio Grande who faced off against murderous, raiding Apache. At its core, Rio Grande was about a man’s fractured relationship with his wife and son, but its plot, which was loosely based on the real expeditions of the 4th Cavalry Regiment, failed to address the Native Americans' side of the conflict.
In response to High Noon, Wayne instead chose to work with Howard Hawks on the staunchly conservative Western Rio Bravo, which took every opportunity it could to undermine communist ideals and reinforce the noble image of those who defend the law. In the decades since both movies were released, they were each remembered as Western classics, but, with the power of hindsight, Wayne’s criticisms seemed aggressive.
