John Ford
註釋During his five decades of filmmaking, John Ford was described as a humorist, weaver of myths, interpreter of the Old West, high dramatist, and storyteller. Film critic Peter Stowell meticulously examines 14 films to demonstrate how Ford contributed to the development of six great American myths: the American Adam, the American frontier, the American democrat, American agrariarism, American individualism, and American civilization. Stowell charts the narrative structure of two of Ford's most famous films, "The Searcher" and "Stagecoach," to convey a sense of how these classics were created. ISBN 0-8057-9305-2 (pbk.): $9.95.
