When Steven Spielberg grew up in the postwar era, stories of cowboys quarreling with gunmen struggling with indigenous Americans were extremely popular because they represented the way America wanted to see at the time, as a strong and heroic wielder of justice. He got on to see Foron Ford's "The The Forders" when he was nine years old (through Hollywood reporter). He became not only one of his favorite films, but also one of his greatest art inspirations.

Often considered The best west of all timeThe "search engines" defined the tropes of the genre we all know and love. Johnon Wayne delivers his best performance as Ethan Edwards, Veteran of Civil War, who goes in a five -year search for their grandchildren, who were kidnapped by Komance, after tribe members set fire to his home and killed his brother, sister -in -law and their son. "Search engines" has all the spectacles and adventurous excitement that they would later see in Spielberg's Indiana Onesons series, but her deeper home and family topics have most reasoned with him and have been built into almost all his films. Ethan sees at home how he can feel safe and under control. Without his family there, Ethan is even more shaken than violence after the recent war.

Despite working in completely different genres, this longing for stability and feeling left behind appears in Spielberg's films as a "ET", where Eliot desperately wishes ET could be part of his family instead of returning to space, or "artificial intelligence" where his daunting child is just in his own. These homes are broken, but the protagonists want to bring them back together.

Spielberg was not only emotionally linked to "seekers", but also taught him a very important lesson in making films.

Steven Spielberg said AFI That he sees Johnon Ford's filmography, especially "Seekers", for inspiration before making his own movies:

"I am very sensitive to the way he uses his camera to paint his pictures and the way he shapes things. And the way he organizes and blocks his people, often keeping the camera static while people give you illusion, there is much more kinetic movement that happens when it doesn't.

Spielberg met Johnon Ford when he was a teenager, who he tells in his semi-autobiographical "Fabelmans". Ford plays another visionary director, The late David Lynch, in a shaky and perfect last screen performance. Ford chain and smoking describes the importance of not placing the horizon line in the middle of the frame, but to move it closer to the upper or bottom to generate a more attractive image. We see these painting techniques through the "seekers", especially in the haunting last blow where Ethan stands in the shade and framed by the door, looking at the huge plains where he no longer belongs.

The most famous Western Johnon Ford showed Steven Spielberg as deliberately crafting shots with emotional and visual magnificence that every corner of the frame uses. Spielberg learned how to be a visually expressive director by constantly studying his favorite film, and now he has produced some of the most iconic images in Chinese history, including watching the swimmer's feet in the "jaws", T. Rex wandered as a banner falling into the original "Juri Park", and the moon IT's silence, among the countless others.
