Searching for John Ford
John Ford's classic films—such as Stagecoach, The Grapes of Wrath, How Green Was My Valley, The Quiet Man, and The Searchers—have earned him worldwide admiration as America's foremost filmmaker, a director whose rich visual imagination conjures up indelible, deeply moving images of our collective past. Joseph McBride's Searching for John Ford, described as definitive by both the New York Times and the Irish Times, surpasses all other biographies of the filmmaker in its depth, originality, and insight. Encompassing and illuminating Ford's myriad complexities and contradictions, McBride traces the trajectory of Ford's life from his beginnings as “Bull” Feeney, the nearsighted, football-playing son of Irish immigrants in Portland, Maine, to his recognition, after a long, controversial, and much-honored career, as America's national mythmaker. Blending lively and penetrating analyses of Ford's films with an impeccably documented narrative of the historical and psychological contexts in which those films were created, McBride has at long last given John Ford the biography his stature demands.
Emmett
A bad boy. A blast from the past. A very un-festive mistake. And a love so unexpected yet so strong, it makes Christmas Day look like a regular Sunday...right before someone goes off the cliff... Alright, it's a hot mess. I admit it. And right before Christmas, too. But I can't take any of it back. I mean, is it possible to have a midlife crisis in your thirties? But, despite all the errors in my judgment, Emmett's gaze still comes my way. Something in his eyes tells me that he isn't perfect, either. What I soon discover is that it was not he himself that made the mistakes, rather, he was the victim of someone else's errors in judgment. The question is, can he look beyond mine? *** It doesn'...
