The Searchers and High Noon

High noon is the tale of a recently wed sheriff who has recently learned that the notorious criminal Frank Miller has been released from custody, and is now seeking revenge. The searchers is tale of a man by the name of Ethan Edwards, who recently returned from the civil war, is now in search of his niece Debbie. Though, both of these seem to have great plots, neither of them peaked my interest and literally bored me to sleep. Of these two, High Noon, was by far the better one, but still horribly boring.

Debbie who Ethan Edwards is on the hunt for, has been captured by a tribe of Comanche Indians.

Many theories have circulated about Ethan and Debbie's relationship, one claims that he had left for the civil war because of supposed previous relations he had  with Debbie's mother. Making Debbie his daughter,and explaining why he had left for the Civil War and then made a sudden unexpected appearance.

Both of these movies are said to be cinematic marvels, and the greatest movies of history, but they are nothing but an hour and about thirty minutes of sleep. Neither have any excitement, or exciting storyline. These movies are said to of paved the way for all westerns in film history, which is probably accurate considering westerns, or dreadfully tedious and dull films, are a dying art.
