Prompt: TWO of the following to write about and number two short paragraphs
so I am clear about which prompts you have selected. Always be very specific
with details and scenes. Notice that I am NOT asking what happened in the story,
but how the film maker uses the elements of film to create that story and reveal
its characters to us.
1. Pick any character except Ringo and explain how the filmmaker allows us to
know the character through the way he or she talks, costume, physical
appearance and movement, the style in which he or she is filmed (light,
angle, background and environment, etc.), the music that plays when he or
she is on the screen.
2. The Native Americans are portrayed in this film as nameless savages, something
pretty typical for films of this era. However, Ford doesn’t really seem to think
that “civilization” is all that great. Can you think of any examples showing how
this film questions the so-called “superiority” of white society? Also consider
the musical number in this film. How does that contrast with other depictions of
non-white characters?

Background: If you feel like you’ve seen this film before, in a way, you have. While not
the first Western film ever, John Ford’s Stagecoach (1939) is the epitome of the
American Western movie and has all the elements of the genre. Think about the
Western genre or “type of film” – the locations, the character types, the typical events
that happen in the story, and how the story is built- beginning, middle and end. One
way or another, you have seen this movie before even if you haven’t seen THIS movie
before! It was made 75 years ago and yet sets the example for so many disaster or
zombie films you see today involving a group of people, each person usually
representing a different “type,” trying to get somewhere and trying to survive. It’s also
the film that made John Wayne a star.
Of course, arts are a product of their time and culture, and given the treatment of
Native Americans in the history of the United States, we won’t be surprised by
their depiction in this old film. Allow yourself to be shocked and disgusted. We
can’t go back and erase the arts of the past- be they books or films- because of their
treatment of women, Native Americans, African Americans or other minorities. Most of
the time, we shouldn’t want to erase these arts for several reasons. First, because
erasing old films, plays, or novels will many times erase the good things about them
together with the bad. Second, if we cringe when we see racist depictions in old films,
this means we have an awareness of how inappropriate it is. We can look deeper and
consider how at one time society allowed that treatment to be O.K. We can think
about what has changed and how, and consider if that change is superficial or
deep. We can see who around us still think these depictions are
appropriate. Third, when we engage with the arts of other eras and see inappropriate,
immoral, outdated, or racist depictions of genders, ethnic or racial groups, it can help
us understand how the arts not only reflect the ideas of a culture (in a time and place)
but also help to perpetuate those idea. For example, if the only exposure a person had
to Native Americans in 1939 was as bloodthirsty savages in films, this is going to be
their only idea of Native Americans. If a film shows a different perspective of Native
Americans, the film audience may also develop a different attitude.
As you watch this film, enjoy the story, pay attention to the dialog and what it reveals
about the characters, and notice the formal elements (the components like camera
angle, lighting and shadow, positioning of people, what’s in the shot, etc.) Noticing
those things will help you write about it!
