at the end of [The Searchers], all of the characters except Ethan enter a house and close the door, with Ethan still outside symbolically looking off into the desert. I haven't seen it in years, but I remember a striking shot, repeated one or more times, in which the camera follows Wayne from a dark interior through a doorway into a dazzlingly bright, spacious desert landscape. It mirrors that last shot and foreshadows it perfectly. What a film! kjf-
