The Searchers

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Since many critics are comparing "The Missing" to this John Ford/John Wayne classic, I decided to watch it again, Although I have NEVER seen this in print, it's been a long time theory of mine that the Natalie Wood character is not Ethan's niece but his DAUGHTER, the result of a pre-war affair with his brother's wife.
Consider: 1) Wayne's initial mixup of the girls, 2) those long, loving stares bewteen Wayne and his sister-in-law, 3) the kissing of Wayne's jacket by the aforesaid sister-in-law, 4)Wayne's obsession with finding Wood is better justified if she is a daughter, and, 5) Wayne's ultimate epiphany in not killing Wood.

Happy Thankssgiving to all in the USA, and best to the rest, Rico
