5/10
fail to learn from the master
29 November 2023
This John Ford documentary is airing on TCM. They may even had produced it. It's dissecting the career of this iconic Hollywood director. Most of all, it is showing his private left leaning politics.

His left leaning ideals may be real. Quite frankly, this is not the first that I've heard of it. It is something well known behind the scenes in Hollywood. The problem with this documentary is its inability to learn from the master himself. He lets his works do the talking. There is no need to actually put Trump on the screen. It also puts this film into a specific time. A documentary should try to be timeless. The master would not make this mistake. Trump supporters are never going to like a deep dive into their believes especially from some critical Frenchies and academic eggheads. By doing this badly, it threatens even those who lean left and I don't count the far left who have their own complaints.
