Cross Cultures?
Yet another addition to the long list of things I will never understand...
Interestingly enough though, The Searchers, IMO one of the greatest American movies, with the best American director, and the Duke's greatest performance (ducking now), captures the best of the American spirit, yet is at the same time so dark in places with a plot driven by revenge and an honor killing.
