Print the Legend: Politics, Culture, and Civic Virtue in the Films of John Ford
, a collection of writers explore Ford's view of politics, popular culture, and civic virtue in some of his best films:
Drums Along the Mohawk
,
The Searchers
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Stagecoach
How Green Was My Valley
, and
The Last Hurrah
. John Ford, more than most motion picture directors, invites his viewers into a serious discussion of these themes. For instance, one can consider Plato's timeless question "What is justice?" in
, vengeance as classical Greek tragedy in
, or ethnic politics in
. Ford's films never grow stale or seem dated because he continually probes the most important questions of our civic culture: what must we do to survive, prosper, pursue happiness, and retain our common decency as a regime? Further, viewing them from a distance of time, we are subtly invited to ask whether anything has been lost or gained since Ford celebrated the civic virtues of an earlier America. Is Ford's America an idealized America or a lost America?
