Review of John Ford: The Man Who Invented America

A detailed look at John Ford's films and how they still are relevant in today's society. "Ford said that his job was to tell stories, not play politics." Then the documentary looks at The Grapes of Wrath. Listen to what the thieving Banker says in Stagecoach. "America for Americans." Reduced taxes." "Government must not interfere with business." " What this country needs is a businessman for President." Here we have a White-Collar Criminal spewing the same old con that we hear today. Sergeant Rutledge is given the credit it deserves. More people need to see this movie today. Finally, we get a chance to revisit Monument Valley. TCM has the film available currently to stream on demand. Check it out, you will be glad that you did.
