BICKERING SHREWS SHOULD ALWAYS BE KEPT ISOLATED

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/bickering-shrews-should-always-be-kept-isolated-39538b69d6d7

A farce for all publics, children, teenagers, young adults, plain adults, and grownups, even older citizens, males and females, though the spanking of two women, mother and daughter, is not very kosher to my taste. In 1963, #METOO was still a long way away in the future.

The only controversial issue, though, is the presence of Indians, Comanches, in the city, meaning out of their reservation without any official federal authorization, as if Indians needed a visa to visit the surrounding US states and territories that were stolen from them.

But the muddy scene in some mudhole is slippery and funny, and no one can escape the brutality of the fight, entirely performed by stuntmen and stuntwomen. In this western territory, though, they seem to have very good bathrooms for an actor to roll down into the mud pond, get out of it, and hardly ten minutes later, in plot time, reappear from who knows where, all clean, perfumed, and made-up.

Enjoy the fun, and you will not get a hernia in your brain muscle that will not be strained.

BICKERING SHREWS SHOULD ALWAYS BE KEPT ISOLATED

The Comanche Chief nearly got hanged because he was an Indian. Good Lynching procedure, though absurd like all segregation.

The Gunslinger is the Law

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/the-gunslinger-is-the-law-338848a7f7ed

In a western territory, not yet a state, the big ranchers want the land to be open for their horses and cattle to roam freely. Farmers want to enclose their fields to protect them against roaming cattle. The big ranchers have a militia in their pay composed of all sorts of bullies and violent people in mind and in body, the harder, the crueler, the better, for the badly named Liberty Valance.

Only Tom Doniphon, an expert pistolero who knows how to shoot any gun, refuses this situation. He gets an ally when a newly graduated and certified lawyer arrives and becomes Tom’s friend, if it can be called an alliance since the lawyer is simply encouraged to do what he wants, that is to provoke the bad boy Liberty Valance, so that the two will exchange bullets, and Tom will have the fastest bullet in the city and the bad boy will fall dead in the dust.

The lawyer, Ransom Stoddard, will be the governor of the new state, a US senator, and a few more things, based on the reputation, the legend that he killed Liberty Valance. No one, not even him, wants to reject the legend. That’s not good for politics, at least for one’s political career. That’s what history is built on. A mythical deep fake and a lot of false eavesdropping.

Enjoy the bullet whizzing around your head.

You may think a lawyer can bring law and order. Wrong. It will take at least one pistolero or gunslinger on the lawyer's side, and even so.

LET COLE CONFESS HIS CRIMES FIRST

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/let-cole-confess-his-crimes-first-846f0c7aca18

.In a Wild West city, the sheriff is a drunk. So, a bullying businessman, who is more a gangster than an ethical shopkeeper, takes advantage of it and ransacks the city, and eventually has all those who oppose his rule shot on the spot by some professional shooter.

But Cole arrives. He is a friend of the drunk sheriff. With the help of a mysterious young man, he redresses him with an Indian potion, and it all ends well, at least for the good ones, not so well for the bad ones who seem to have a propensity to end up six feet under.

More funny than serious, though it could have been serious

Enjoy the film. It is only for entertainment. It is not for any spiritual, supernatural, or even mental reflection.

MISFIT QUARTET OF ANTI-SOCIAL VICTIMS

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/misfit-quartet-of-anti-social-victims-264327d56bae

John Wayne did too many films that are good enough for Saturday Matinees for kiddies and tweenies. Twinks, please, abstain. You will get what you deserve later, on Saturday night, when you sit between your best-friend, who is slightly more than a best-friend, and your girl-friend, who is not entirely a girl-friend yet, but soon will be. That’s the problem with twinks. They sit in-between, and they just take a little bit on each side, and that’s enough. Then they can deal with the bullies and ruffians who are planning to disrupt the evening in the bar or the nightclub. If they think they can, they will have a surprise, because the White Caucasian Knight will intervene and put all these mediocre dark-souled and tanned-faced punk-disrupters back in their place, under the table, under our feet, under our six-packs like plain bottoms they are, and must remain.

These films are from another age, another time, another planet. But they sure are popular because they caress the audience properly, meaning in the right places and where it matters most on a Saturday afternoon to build up your willful determination to be the kings of the road for at least one night, till Sunday morning when you will have to say “Yes, Ma'am!” to your mother telling you “to take a shower and change your underwear: it stinks!” Back to reality. “I wonder what you did last night!” And in your torturous mind, that is as straight as your morning wood, you tell yourself, “Just the same thing as you did when you were my age!”

Two people will die in your comfortable dreaming zone, killed instantly by the two expectorated bullets you cast at them right into their hearts or between their eyes.

When you get out of the matinee, you are ready to push anyone on your way, headfirst, into the McDonald’s boiling oil in a deep-fryer.

THE END

WAR-PRONE PACIFIC OCEAN

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/war-prone-pacific-ocean-a302cc852ea6

John Wayne hasn’t only been a killer in the Wild West or an anti-Indian militant. Kill them all, or deport them all, Dead or Alive. He also acted in a vigilante misjudged and misinspired justice by/from/for a good old mob-inclined cop story. In this last case, it sounds too much like lynching to really be ethical. He also performed in quite a few films about the Second World War. This In Harm’s Way is a good one because of the divided loyalty or even loyalties of the main Admiral. Which should he support? His estranged son, whom he abandoned when he was four? His son’s girlfriend? His direct subordinate, though he raped his son’ Jere’s girlfriend? Or his own girlfriend? Out of those four, destiny or fate kills the first three.

War is such a waste of cannon fodder!

John Wayne gives here a rather disturbing vision of WW2, and the film lets the war serve justice for the rapist officer. With two victims of the rape down.

PLEASE, PUT THE SPAGHETTI BACK ON OUR CINEMATOGRAPHIC SCREEN

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/please-put-the-spaghetti-back-on-our-cinematographic-screen-99b52d7ec67f

A simple plot. A child is kidnapped, and the ransom is one million dollars, and the mother has one million dollars in her attic. And no credit card, please, just newspaper clippings. And Dirty Jacob is selected to deliver the fake million to this band of hooligans. He does it and kills them all with a little bit of help from one son of his. You will find it naïve and maybe simple-minded, but there is the charm of a dog and inebriating landscapes

Enjoy the end of the summer. The swallows left my village last Monday, and the grapes will be ripe for harvesting in two weeks max. The end of the summer is going to be hard. Hard work I mean.

VERSION FRANÇAISE

S’IL VOUS PLAIT, REMETTEZ LE SPAGHETTI SUR NOS ASSIETTES GOURMANDES

John Wayne est considéré comme LE SEUL ET UNIQUE réalisateur de westerns du Far West Sauvage. Mais ce film ne présente qu'un seul Indien, un faux Indien sans plumes et sans pagne. Mais où sont les neiges d'antan ? Pas même un seul prêcheur évangélique invoquant le diable pour faire monter les hors-la-loi à la potence. Mais où sont les neiges d'antan ? Il y a un shérif et des adjoints, et pourtant ils sont emberlificotés comme des enfants hurlants par neuf misérables hors-la-loi. Mais où sont les neiges d'antan ?

Une intrigue simple. Un enfant est kidnappé, la rançon est d'un million de dollars, et la mère a un million de dollars dans son grenier. Et pas de carte de crédit, s'il vous plaît, juste des coupures de journaux. Et Dirty Jacob est choisi pour remettre le faux million à cette bande de hooligans. Il le fait et les tue tous avec l'aide d'un de ses fils. Vous trouverez cela naïf et peut-être simpliste, mais il y a le charme du chien de Jacob et des paysages enivrants.

Profitez de la fin de l'été. Les hirondelles ont quitté mon village lundi dernier, et les raisins seront mûrs pour les vendanges dans deux semaines maximum. La fin de l'été s'annonce difficile. Le dur labeur d’un travailleur de jardin qui veut manger clean et bon marché cet hiver. Du moins, c’est ce que je veux dire.

John Wayne is a myth, hence he is a hero from some mythology, both resilient and hallucinating.
