“Film schools tell me they have a hard time getting students to watch older films, particularly black-and-white ones, and it is devastating. That is like throwing away 85 years of the art, when masterpiece after masterpiece were being made.”
Movie editor Thelma Schoonmaker, winner of three Oscars, and widow of screenwriter-director-producer Michael Powell, of The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943), the 34th greatest talkie ever made.
The antiversities teach white genocide day in, and day out. Even if one secretly does not hate the white race and wish for its annihilation, one must keep one’s feelings a secret, or risk being denounced and destroyed. And so one watches only pictures with racial socialist messages, made by people from affirmative action groups.
Indeed, Schoonmaker’s dear friend and longtime collaborator, Martin Scorsese, promotes that evil ideology. In a recent interview, Scorsese not only condemned John Ford’s 1956 masterpiece, The Searchers, as white supremacist, but asserted that it was the truest expression, not of the 1870s, but of 1956!

Really,and I thought (without facts,more of a hope,I guess)that Scorsese,by going back to his mob movie hey day-- making the soon to be released,"The Irishman" --with a presumably all white cast,was doing so as a conservative,movie making statement.
Fingers were crossed that Scorsese was attempting to influence other movie makers to create more films with white dominated casts--a backlash against "Hamilton","Black Panther" and black "007"
Just a hope.

Movies of yore required acting ability. Today movies are all special effects.
Our friends at TCM show The Searchers a lot, twice this month for example. It was on TCM yesterday and will be on again November 21. They generally call it a work of art and praise John Wayne's performance. This was likely written for the host(s) years ago.
On Thursday Night, November 21, TCM is having a John Ford Night. It starts with a John Ford-John Wayne Double Feature.
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) is on at 8 pm ET, followed by The Searchers (1956) at 10:15 pm ET.
