Viewing Notes

Was expiring today and isn’t long plus I wanted to watch it bc John Ford. Sadly this is a disappointing affair. For some reason they interview cattle ranchers. WTF who fucking cares what cattle ranchers think about the legacy of Ford?! Talk to some actors and other filmmakers. Then they smash cut to Donald Trump and compare him to Ford and that’s when I said nope.

Fuck this shit
