John Ford
Yönetmen · 1894 – 1973 · Cape Elizabeth, Maine, USA
John Ford (February 1, 1894 – August 31, 1973) was an American film director. He was famous for both his westerns such as Stagecoach (1939), The Searchers (1956), and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), and adaptations of such classic 20th-century American novels as The Grapes of Wrath (1940). His four Academy Awards for Best Director (1935, 1940, 1941, 1952) is a record, and one of those films, How Green Was My Valley (1941), also won Best Picture. In a career that spanned more than 50 years, Ford directed more than 140 films (although nearly all of his silent films are now lost) and he is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential filmmakers of his generation. Ford's films and personality were held in high regard by his colleagues, with Ingmar Bergman and Orson Welles among those who have named him as one of the greatest directors of all time. In particular, Ford was a pioneer of location shooting and the long shot which frames his characters against a vast, harsh and rugged natural terrain.

Polis gücüne katılan siyahlar ve melezler beyazları taciz eder. Bunun üzerine asayişi sağlamak üzere "Klan" kurulur. Haçlı şövalyelerini andıran giysileriyle Ku-Klux-Klan üyeleri gecelerin hakimidir artık. Devletin sağlayamadığı adaleti onlar getirir. D.W. Griffith’in sessiz filmi Bir Ulusun Doğuşu, gerçekten de bizlere anlatılan tarih tezinin aksi bir görüşü, üstelik şimdi izlendiğinde epey rahatsız edici bir tonda sunuyor.
