Red River (1948)

When an man, his two companions, and a gang of workers set out for the long first cattle drive to Missouri, his leadership becomes too brutal for the others involved.

This is enjoyably different from the regular John Wayne Western films, the description others give of his performance as a “departure from sex symbol” is deeply concerning but you do you. It’s refreshing to see him as part of a father-son relationship rather than a rogue loner. It’s also visually entertaining due to the scale of the enterprise, they must have done an actual cattle drive for some of the shots.

It’s unsurprising for the genre that there’s an underlying tone of false Nationalist nostalgia in which the settlers are presented as the heroes sent by providence to work empty land. Meanwhile the real locals are presented as mindless savages that attack the ‘pioneers’ like they’re a hindrance, cheats, or a force of nature to be contended with.

Rather a surprise was how clear they made Wayne a bad guy despite also being one of the protagonists. It’s gradually stretched how far we’re supposed to agree with him until the other characters we’re identified with feel forced to rebel. It’s a pretty good case study of totalitarianism in a lawless environment and there are some subtle nuances in the façade of honour and fairness he presents.

The younger partner is deliberately presented as the better leader with a greater understanding of the men and no real malice or greed driving his actions, however by the end he’s forced into a pseudo-masculine role in order to appease his role model, and presumably Western genre audiences, and it’s presented as positive development.

5/10 -Can’t find a better example of average-

-Aside from the short prologue, there are no female characters until over an hour and a half into the run-time.

-Some critics have reasonably read some gay subtext between the two young sharp-shooters.

-Although six-shooters were an anachronism for the setting, the director insisted on using them so scenes didn’t have to slow down for reloading.

Matt and Cherry get competitive, showing off their guns. ~ Cherry: "There are only two things more beautiful than a good gun: a Swiss watch or a woman from anywhere. Ever had a good. . . Swiss watch?" ~ (Montgomery Clift and John Ireland in Howard Hawks' Red River, 1948.)
