The Searchers. part 2

With the second watching of the searchers I applaud the film makers for trying to add some complexity to the movie with the addition of the romance/ love triangle for martin. As an avid movie goer i can tell that this isn't going to end well for him and the others involved. The addition of the Comic and tragic figure Look was good at providing a break in the other wise tense feeling set by the directors. What makes Look such a tragic figure is that when the viewers find out she is dead the views feel only a little shock about the death but never sadness. As a flat character though could we really expect anything different. The directors give us a view of what the little girl could be like when the find her. We as viewers get this view when Ethan and Martin are in the fort looking at the girls that were brought back by the calvary, The way Ethan looks at them tells me that he is not going to be happy if he find his kin in the same condition. There is also the questions of race brought up in this segment. The border scenes with the Mexicans show how they were thought of in 1956 you had the drink with Ethan couldn't stomach, the food, and the dancer.
