"I never trusted a man who doesn't drink."
It must be a man who says this, although not always drunk, but must be a long-term drinker, and it can even be inferred that he does not leave his hand. Such a man must have a unique charm.
Who is he? He is coming towards us. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Martha had already taken the lead in the door.

"Ethan?"
"Welcome home, Ethan!"
Ethan?
Welcome home
Home should be like this
Ethan is the name of the protagonist of the famous American Western film director John Ford's film "Searcher", played by the famous American cultural icon John Wayne, known for playing tough guys in Westerns and war movies. "I never trusted a man who doesn't drink." It was John Wayne's famous quote.

1956's "The Searcher" is known as the first western, and if you just watch it out of curiosity, you can't appreciate why it is regarded as a historical classic, you need to watch an equally classic Western, Sunset Sands, and then come back to "The Searcher". John Ford's skill brings us deep into Ethan's soul by forcing us to think about its implications, allowing us to understand his pain as well.
The Searcher aka Sunset Sands
The film tells the story of Ethan, a retired soldier who returns home after the End of the American Civil War and is killed and his niece taken away during an Indian raid. So Ethan, accompanied by his brother's adopted son Martin, began a five-year search for his niece. The film re-questions the traditional antagonistic relationship between white Americans and Indians, a stunning breakthrough for a sixty-year-old Western.
Ethan is John Wayne's favorite character in 181 films, and he even named his son Ethan. John Wayne's film world is full of honesty, individuality and heroism.
In 1969, John Wayne won the Best Actor Award at the 42nd Academy Awards for playing an alcoholic, almost self-depraved one-eyed Sheriff in "Earth Thunder", finally realizing the ideal he had dreamed of for 40 years. When he stepped onto the podium, he said with humor and boldness: "If I knew I could get the prize by wearing this one-eye mask, I would have worn it 20 years ago." ”
For drunkards, they can receive a reward after drinking
Bear with me, this is not at home, this is begging the drunkard to do things
John Wayne was taken to the hospital in 1964 after fainting from severe chest pain and physical weakness on an location scene. Diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, surgery was taken to cut the left lung and two ribs. That is to say, in "Earth Thunder", the "one-eyed sheriff" who bites the reins in his mouth, holds a short gun in his left hand and a long gun in his right hand, and rushes to the mob at full speed on a Prancing Horse, and the hearts of the audience are actually advanced cancer patients who cut off their left lung and two ribs 5 years ago.
Let the horse come over, and I have to do the right thing
Bastard, get rid of you right away
John Wayne, both on screen and in life, was a tough guy, and John Wayne, who used to smoke six packs a day, continued to smoke after his left lung was "cured," let alone drink. For the next fifteen years of his life, he struggled with "health."
In 2010, the Coen brothers remade "Earth Thunder", and they did not weaken the tough guy character of "One-Eyed Sheriff", but they chose the perspective of Charles Portis's original novel, through the eyes of Marty, a 14-year-old farmer's daughter, to tell this thrilling story of the Western pursuit.
Finding the right age for young actors has become a top priority, for this reason, the Coen brothers have set up a special website to find actors who play Marty, and the restrictions for young actors are relatively broad, requiring actresses to be 12 to 17 years old, to be simple, but tough, to be as tough as Marty. The Coen brothers received a total of 15,000 audition applications. Hayley Stanfield was eventually singled out of it to play Marty.
Whoever said that this Marty was not tough enough, and was bold enough to try it
"Everything in the world comes at a price, and there is no free lunch except for god's gifts."
You must pay for everything in this world ,one way or in another. There's nothing free, except the grace of God。
The new version of "Earth Thunder" begins with this monologue of middle-aged Marty recalling the past, which has set the tone that the film will be different from John Wayne's "Earth Thunder". Some people say that the old version of "Earth Thunder" was a sugar with fairy tale elements in it, while the Coen brothers' "Earth Thunder" was a pot of wine. Stupid Bird would like to correct this view a little: as a Western in the sixties, "Earth Thunder" is a pot of wine plus a sugar, while the Coen brothers' "Earth Thunder" is a pot of wine plus a pot of tea.
Hero twilight, pride? The one-eyed sheriff ran wildly with the snake-bitten Mati tseresay horse, desperately trying his best to raise his hooves in the night, and was exhausted alive. The one-eyed sheriff held Marty and continued to struggle with his feet, and finally saw a smokey hut from the chimney, he sat weakly on the ground, drew his gun and sounded in the direction of the hut, until he saw the owner of the hut turn on the lamp, and the one-eyed sheriff lowered his head, which had always been arrogant, and muttered to himself: I am old. （——I've grown old。 ）
Keep running, keep running
"Admitting that you are old" is to taste a pot of tea in life. People can't always drink, and neither can tough guys. A good movie can start without being exciting, but the ending must be intriguing.

The reason why the Coen brothers' "Earth Thunder" has an extra pot of tea than the old version is that twenty-five years later, Marty, who has only one right hand, has taken the sheriff's body back to his hometown and buried it in his own cemetery, and often visits him in the cemetery.
Marty's final monologue was: "Everyone else must have thought I was a weird old maid, and indeed, I wasn't married, I didn't have time to do that kind of stupid thing... That's how time flies. ”
Indeed, most marriages in the world are silly and tasteless
On January 12, 1979, the tough guy John Wayne was admitted to the hospital for cholecystitis, and the doctor opened John Wayne's chest cavity and found that the cancer had spread to the stomach, so he cut off the entire stomach and gallbladder. Less than three months after the surgery, on April 9, John Wayne, who deprecated himself as "incomplete", fell ill at the 51st Academy Awards ceremony, which was the last time he met with people and fans in the film industry. Two days later, John Wayne was admitted to the hospital again with intestinal obstruction, and the doctor's test report showed that the cancer had spread throughout John Wayne's body.
In the early morning of June 11, 1979, John Wayne, who was in a coma, woke up again, and he faintly heard the mournful cries of his relatives around him, and he called out the names of his seven children from time to time in an extremely weak voice. When he calls out "Ethan", he wonders if he can recall his last scene in Searcher— the hero in the movie always can't go home, has no home, and he has to turn away outside the door - ride away.
Classic aftertaste of Ride away
That's the price.
Infinite aftertaste what a joy devine
On 3 May 1979, margaret Hilda Thatcher, the grocer's daughter, became the first female Prime Minister in British history and began her 11-and-a-half-year career as Prime Minister. People call Thatcher the Iron Lady, and no one but stupid bird probably associates the ambitious Thatcher with the film character Marty Rose.
Stupid Bird has its own famous saying: movies are better than life, and life is better than movies. May the drinking tough guy learn to find happiness in health as soon as possible before he hangs his head down. As an option, this is far closer to our ordinary real life than "you can get an Academy Award sooner rather than "put on an eye mask sooner rather than later".
Such idols, only occasionally like
Such health is really healthy
For the Iron Lady's understanding of the topic of health and happiness, please listen to the next issue of the breakdown.
